HINDUISM AN INTRODUCTION Shakunthala Jagannathan

Hinduism of the oldest living religions in the world, with approximately a billion adherents, Hinduism is both a school of thought and a way of life. Drawing from a colossal pool of texts – from the Upanishads and the Vedas to the Gita and the Puranas – the religion melds together a range of voices. Yet, given the complexity of its philosophical thrust, the contradictions in its discourse, and the sheer immensity of its bank of wisdom, Hinduism remains a mystery, even to its followers. This book attempts to simplify an undeniably complex belief- system, and sheds light on its eternal laws.

It is widely known that when Zarathushtra came into this world, Ahura Mazda and his angels caressed him; he was surrounded by a brilliant radiance. As he drew his first breath, his eyes opened wide and his mouth curved into the most beautiful and endearing smile one had ever seen.

In fact the ladies present at his birth were astonished; after all, didn’t newborns enter the world wailing, with their eyes tightly shut?

Not surprisingly, word of Zarathushtra’s birth spread far and wide across the country. Old ladies spoke of Zarathushtra’s khorey or shining aura and the young ones described the smile that lingered even as he slept. Everyone joyfully said that he had been sent into this world for a special purpose, little realizing how right they were.

Marching with Times Jayawanti Mehta Marching with Times

India has never been short of women leaders and during the pre-independence era it could boast of celebrities like Sarojini Naidu, Vijayalakshmi Pandit, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay and Amrit Kaur. They came largely from affluent families. It is in this context that one must assess the life and times of Jayawantiben Mehta who came from an ordinary middle class family. Her father was a cloth merchant. She grew up in a joint household, was given in marriage to a young government servant with a meager salary of Rs.150 per month. How Jayawanti rose from such a modest – even humble – beginning to enter politics in Mumbai, win over the support of her fellow citizens through sheer devotion to duty, to total commitment to social welfare and above all care for everyone is a story that is fascinating, as it is revealing. So great and continuous was her success, that in introduction to her memoirs she asks, almost innocently: “Did I cross all these? When? How?” What constitutes “All these?’ Membership of Mumbai Municipal Corporation for ten long years (1968-78); two terms as Member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly (1978-85); Membership of Parliament for three terms; Secretaryship of the Bharatiya Janata Party for four years; President of Party’s All India Women’s Wing for similar length of time and even service as Minister of State for Power five years. How did she manage it all? Reading her memoirs with such endearing openness, one wonders why she didn’t achieve even greater heights! What won her the affection, respect and support of her varied voters? She could speak, read and write in Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi and English but more to the point was her utter devotion to her voters, irrespective of caste, creed, community and language that made Jayawanti what she quickly became, Jayawantiben!

This book is un-put-downable because of the shining sincerity of its author, her JAYAWANTI MEHTA love for humanity and her commanding openness to one and all. Originally, written in Gujarati, it has been translated into English by Dr. Kalindi Randeri, a distinguished educationist in her own right to form a part – a delectable part – of the history of our times. What is most endearing is that the rich flavor of the original is retained in full to captivate the reader which in itself is worthy of applause. To read this memoir is to get a better acquaintance of the politics and history, not to speak of culture of India from of the mid-sixties of the twentieth century onwards.
