Book Description

About the Book The Vast: a still, dark, endless field of nothing, in which something broods and gathers, rising and billowing into waves. Everything emerges from these waves of the Vast, including. Time, Creation, and the woman and two men known as The Three. From the waves come multitudes of beings, including the Asura, those of untiring breath who seek knowledge, and the Sura, the bright ones who keep order.

The greatest of all the Sura and Asura is Surapadman, who will embody inventiveness, wisdom and statecraft for all time to come. The only one who can counter his might and his challenge to the rules of creation is Karthikeya, child of Shambhu and Uma, and brother to Ganesha, the all-seeing elephant-headed god.

About the Author Kala Krishnan has been exploring the Murugan universe for years now. In this first volume of a planned trilogy, she expands the mythologies of the god. Kumara, Karthikeya, Kandhan, Velan, he is the god of Tamizh, the patron of the Great Assembly of poets in Madurai, friend and mentor to the hot-headed and fiercely loyal Aambal, who is known to all as 'Murugan's poet'.

A reimagining of the life and exploits of the magnificent young god, Mahasena is resonant with the stories that were, as well as vividly original.

Prelude Ganesha was happy. He was finally going to have a sibling. Have the company of someone other than parents, relatives, collaborators, friends and devotees. His own baby brother. He was slightly disappointed it wasn't to be a little girl, but that was okay. A boy just meant more ego, a little slowness, nothing he couldn't deal with. Besides, if this boy was going to be all that they were expecting him to be, it would be fun, and fun was something Ganesha sorely wished for but rarely, if ever, got.

Acknowledgements I owe thanks to many. First, to my student Manjari Chandrashekar, for (unwittingly) becoming the reason for this book being a trilogy, rather than a single, with a gift she brought for me. To my uncle Jinan, for spontaneously deciding to fund some of the research needs of this book and for checking on me, without fail. To my middle child, Gauri, who read drafts, discussed ideas, and kept me going during a year-and-a half of anxieties, lows, doubts. Your spirit is in this book. To my eldest, Paru, for making me feel supported, and for the courage of her choices. Some of the women in this book have your traits. To my youngest, Sathyavak, whose passionate labouring at 'Andhakara Records' was a rare happy thing in this terrible time. This book is dedicated to you. Much appreciation for the music of Sanjay Subrahmanyan, which, as another writer has said, seems on occasion to take you by the hand as you're listening and writing, and to lead you. Gratitude to my dear friend, Sudhir Kakar, for his interest in my work and for the constancy of his affection.
