Literary
interests Poetry - some of the
poems I've written Poetic Translation of the
Bhagavadh Gita - my attempt at translating the Bhagavadh Gita into
laypersons simplistic rhyming couplets Singing the Song Celestial -
a multi-genre analysis - my take on how the Bhagavadh Gita should be
translated in three genres to achieve maximum audience penetration. Chakra -
beginnings of a novel Bio of a
Warrior Monk - My take on how the Mahabharata might have been seen through
the eyes of Bhishma (novel in progress) Through
Vanaran Eyes - My take on how the Ramayana might have been seen through the
eyes of one of the Vanaran Horde (novel in progress)
