Book Description
India, 1955. As the scars of Partition are beginning to heal, seventeen-year-old Meera sits enraptured: in the spotlight is Dev, singing a song so infused with passion that it arouses in her the first flush of erotic longing. But when Meera's reverie comes true, it does not lead to the fairy-tale marriage she imagined. Meera has no choice but to obey her in-laws, tolerate Dev's drunken night-time fumblings, even observe the most arduous of Hindu fasts for his longevity. A move to Bombay seems at first like a fresh start, but soon that dream turns to ashes. It is only when their son is born that things change and Meera is ready to unleash the passion she has suppressed for so long.

Shiva Tatva Rahasya of Neelakantha Deekshita - a profound Shaivate scholar, a great Vaidika and a great Agama and mantra shāstras scholar which is an elaborate commentary of the hymn and the other work is Shivanāmakalpalata of Bhaskara Raaya - A profound Shākta and a great scholar of, puranas, Agamas and mantrashāstras. The work Shivanāmakalpalata is in the form of a poetic hymn rather than a commentary. The hymn shows us the meaning of each name of Shiva ashtottara shatanāma stotra through each Shloka.
