Fragrance of Freedom


Book Description

A Transparent Enquiry into the True Nature of Motherhood “Our true essential nature is free, peaceful, whole, and interconnected with all of life. We need simply turn our attention deeply within, so it may be recognised. Only then will we clearly see our child’s true essence, and come to feel our shared, peaceful Being.” Heena Vasani FRAGRANCE of FREEDOM celebrates Heena Vasani’s remarkable East-West journey through childhood. It is a magical revelation of one woman’s self-determination to forgive, to heal, to overcome, and to transform the shadow and pain of an ancestral wound into the compassionate teachings for conscious parenthood. FRAGRANCE of FREEDOM is both a prayer and a mothers call to action on behalf of children everywhere. Exquisitely designed, and illustrated by Heena’s children, this book invites us to reflect deeply on the authentic conditions required for conscious, connected parenting, and the wellbeing of children entrusted to our care. With its utter simplicity, penetrating dialogue, and transparent enquiry into the true nature of motherhood, this book returns us to the essence of Life itself. In FRAGRANCE of FREEDOM, Heena Vasani demonstrates that by facing our suffering we unearth its fierce gift, which draws us home to our Source, our true essential nature, with sudden unexpected speed, and turns our gaze once more, into Love’s Peaceful Presence. – Chloë Goodchild Founder of The Naked Voice

Waiting for Swaraj


Book Description

Set in British India of the 1920s, Waiting for Swaraj follows the cadence and tempo of the lives of the intrepid revolutionaries of the Hindustan Republican Association and the Hindustan Republican Socialist Association who challenged the British Raj. It seeks to comprehend the revolutionaries' self-conception - what did it mean to be a revolutionary? How did a revolutionary live out the vision of revolution, what was their everyday like, did life in revolution transform an individual, what was their truth and how was it different from that of the others? The book locates the essence of being a revolutionary not just in the spectacular moments when the revolutionaries threw a bomb or carried out a political assassination, but in the everyday conversations, banter, anecdotes, and in the stray fragments of the life in underground. It demonstrates how 'waiting' was the crucible that forged a revolutionary.




Revolutionary Lives in South Asia


Book Description

The term ‘revolutionary’ is used liberally in histories of Indian anticolonialism, but scarcely defined. Implicitly understood, it functions as a signpost or a badge, generously conferred in hagiographies, loosely invoked in historiography, and strategically deployed in contemporary political contests. It is timely, then, to ask the question: Who counts as a ‘revolutionary’ in South Asia? How can we read ‘the revolutionary’ in Indian political formations? And what does it really mean to be ‘revolutionary’ in turbulent late colonial times? This volume takes a biographical approach to the question, by examining the life stories of a series of activists, some well known, who all defined themselves in explicitly revolutionary terms in the early twentieth century: Shyamaji Krishnavarma, V. D. Savarkar, M. K. Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Jawaharlal Nehru, J.P. Narayan and Hansraj Vohra. The authors interrogate the subversive lives of these figures, tracing their polyglot influences and transnational impacts, to map out the discursive travels of ‘the revolutionary’ in Indian historical and literary worlds from the early 1900s, and to indicate its reverberations in the politics of the present. This book was published as a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.
