SAMSARA – THE LORE OF SARAHA

Description

The book deals with esotericism. Its storyline traverses through paths that cannot be explained through sheer logic. Efforts have been made to bring into it the essence of ‘magical realism’, a realm where distinctive realities intertwine with the natural world. The book is not philosophical in nature, as one or many may mistake it for, in the continuation of the storyline. Saraha was never a philosopher, nor was any other master who was truly enlightened. Their paths of life have always given rise to wisdom that transcends words, human imagination and even human endeavour itself, in all accords of life. The book tells about the ‘Lore of Saraha’. In true sense it makes only a fictional effort to do so. Saraha was an extraordinary man in the Buddhist lore. There are countless tales about his life and his divine path to convince it. He was a Mahasiddha, a great soul who once lived in the subcontinent of India. He was born as the son of a very learned brahmin, but later renounced all his brahminical wisdom given by his father to become a Buddhist disciple and then an enlightened master. His ways to attain the unknown were extraordinary, and his path, beyond the duality of existence. People who know something about this great man will surely fascinate themselves with the work. But for the new comers, it is greatly hoped that the story may bring new admirers to wonder about Saraha and his divine path of life, in greater depths. The book doesn’t really tell anything about Saraha or his life, but makes an effort to bring a life who can draw parallel to his life and destiny in many ways. It speaks about the path one may take or be ordained to, with or without any wish, in order to attain his destiny of becoming the enlightened one. Yonten is the man ordained to do so, by his masters of both worlds, who have their own interpretation about Saraha and his great path.
