The four beautiful elephants have been treated in a nice manner as the pachyderms have been symbolised with time. The symmetrical figures reveal a definite pattern. The elephants have been painted with some nice covers on them. The method of waxing and dewaxing has given rise to a special effect to the Batik painting.

The first section of this book includes conversations which the Mother held in English during 1929 with a small group of disciples, who meditated with her and then asked her questions on the nature and process of yoga. Fifteen of these were sent to Sri Aurobindo, who revised them for publication. The conversations of 1930 and 1931, also in English, form the second section of the book and cover such topics as the difficulties in yoga, the psychic presence and the psychic being, knowledge by unity with the Divine, and the supramental realisation.

Description

The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts the moon in a human form with some bright yet simple designs. The red moon with broad eyes, sharp nose, and piercing on nose is an epitome of simplicity and plain life and belief of the people of Mithila, around which the beautiful Madhubani style of painting develops. Madhubani paintings are done mostly by women who depict mythological and natural figures on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas. This is an age-old tradition and has been handing down from generations to generations.

"Hailed as a Shakespearean play, written a few centuries before shakespeare, Sudraka's Mrichchhakatika is one of the most significant Sanskrit dramas for more than a few reasons. Set in the ancient city of Ujjayani, Mrichchhakatika is ""rife with romance, comedy, intrigue and a political subplot detailing the overthrow of the city's despotic ruler by a shepherd, [and] is notable among extant Sanskrit drama for its focus on a fictional scenario rather than on a classical tale or legend. Mrichchhakatika also departs from the traditions enumerated in the Natyashastra that specify that dramas should focus on the alives of the nobility and instead incorporates a large number of middle and lower-caste characters who speak a wide range of Prakrit dialects."" Much celebrated in the West because of its plot structure, following several successful nineteenth century translations and stage adaptations, Mrichchhakatika remains the prominent drama in Sanskrit, widely translated, adapted and performed internationally.

This volume includes the text translated by M. R. Kale along with relevant background essays and criticism, to enable students of literature to understand the long tradition of theater in India on one hand; and on the other, its subsequent negotiations with the West, traversing, accommodating, negotiating and becoming what we call Modern Indian Drama today."
