DESCRIPTION:

उड़िया भाषा की प्रतिभासम्पन्न लेखिका प्रतिभा राय के उड़िया उपन्यास ‘शिलापद्म’ को ‘ओड़ीसा साहित्य अकादमी पुरस्कार’-1986 प्रदान किया गया था। उसी उपन्यास का हिन्दी रूपान्तर ‘कोणार्क’ के रूप में प्रस्तुत है। यह कोई इतिहास नहीं है, यहाँ इतिहास-दृष्टि भी प्रमुख नहीं है-साहित्य दृष्टि ही इसके प्राणों में है। इस कृति में केवल पत्थरों पर तराशी गईं कलाकृतियों का मार्मिक चित्रण नहीं है। उड़िया जाति की कलाप्रियता और कलात्मक ऊँचाइयों की ओर संकेत करते हुए लेखिका ने उस कोणार्क मंदिर को चित्रित किया है जो आज भारतीय कला-कौशल, कारीगरी एवं आदर्शों का एक भग्न स्तूप है। शिल्पी कमल महाराणा और वधू चंद्रभागा के त्याग, निष्ठा, उत्सर्ग, प्रेम-प्रणय-विरह की अमरगाथा को बड़े सुन्दर ढंग से इस प्रशंसित और पुरस्कृत उपन्यास में प्रस्तुत किया गया है।

Description:

The book is a celebration of Krishna… in many ways. It pays tribute to the long, varied and unbroken tradition of Krishna paintings, from the exquisite miniatures of north India to the extravagant Tanjore paintings of the south, enlivening each page with their spiritual euphoria. The book does more. It brings a selection from the rich cornucopia of bhakti (devotional) poetry – verses of singers and saints, poets and philosophers, who have called out, in love and longing, to the incomparable Blue God. Together they make Krishna, a complete sensuous experience. Written in lucid and lyrical language, one idea emerges through the book with clarity – Krishna is relevant, more relevant today, than even when he first walked the earth as man.

Among the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, Krishna is considered the most important one. The elegant figure of Krishna with his flute reveals a greater sense of gracefulness and smoothness. The Lord is covered over his head by Bsuki and he is sitting on the coil of the great snakes, Anant, the thousand headed gigantic serpent. This Ananta, represents the eternity of time's endless revolutions and harbours the germ and the essence of future life. His face has been intricately carved out and it reflects a deeper sense of gracefulness. He is wearing a cloth and a garland. The Anant is also been nicely designed.

Lord Krishna is one of the most endearing deities of Indian mythology and is considered to be one of the ten avatars of lord Vishnu. Goddess lakshmi, the divine consort of lord Vishnu, was born upon earth as his companion during his many incarnation.
Krishna is, at times, the simple cowherd indulging the milkmaids in playful banter. At other times, he is the supreme intellectual – engaged in the exposition of the Gita philosophy. Krishna’s beguiling childish pranks and his dignified wisdom have, in turn, influenced the Hindu consciousness for centuries.
Krishna is particularly appealing to children because he is one of them as no other divine is. Krishna, the boy, is mischievous he has irrepressible energy for innumerable escapades. He is no puritan. He has divine powers, but he humanises them and remains a boy. This powerful human element is the secret of Krishna’s universal popularity. He is secular even as he is sacred, and so he remains throughout his life. That is why Krishna becomes a living presence to all children who have listened to his stories.

The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts the saga of immortal love between Lord Krsihna and Radha. Two peacocks are also beautifully painted. Radha's immortal love for Krishna has been inspiring people since time immemorial and numerous literature have also come up on their love. Here this Madhubani painting has immortalised their saga of love. They duo are playing holi, the Indian festival of colours, with a sense of glee and happiness.

Lord Krishna is one of the most endearing deities of Indian mythology and is considered to be one of the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. Goddess Lakshmi, the divine consort of Lord Vishnu, was born upon earth as his companion across his many incarnations. In this tale she appears as Rukmini, the beautiful and virtuous princess of Vidarbha.

Krishna is often known as the ‘great lover’ in Indian mythology. Yet information of the women he had wooed, won and wed are surprisingly limited and is confined to his conquest of Rukmini.

This story encapsulates Krishna’s romantic marriage with Rukmini, who gives her heart to Krishna when she hears of his great deeds. Krishna’s whisking away of Rukmini under the very noses of his enemies is one of the most exciting parts of the tale.

Rumini is a perfect foil to Krishna in this idyllic tale. It is she who, though coy, makes the first move by confidently revealing her heart to her lover. She plans the details of their escape while demonstrating the high status of women in ancient India.

Jaya and Vijaya, the guards at Vishnu’s abode, were vain and rude and were cursed to be born thrice n the world of mortals. The contrite guards were subsequently permitted one concession : they would be killed in each of their separate births by one of the incarnations of Vishnu.

Thus, first they were born as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu, next as raven and Kumbhakaran and last as Shishupala and Datavaktra.

While the first two pairs were leading characters in their times, Shishupala remains a minor character in the Mahabharata and Dantavaktra, almost a nonentity.

Shishupala for all his show of valour remains a man of straw. In fact his only distinction was that he died at the hands of Krishna. He is also remembered as the jilted suitor of Rukmini.
