About the Book

What is Spiritualism? What is Divinity?

Is it the Obvious or is it the Symbolic?

This anthology of 12 poems takes us on a spiritualistic transportation from the obvious to the symbolic. As we delve into some well-known facets of Krishna's life we begin to see reflections of modern day emotions and situations, the outpouring of pain and suffering, and the spiritual aspect of Love.

This book is also an ensemble of photographs of the deities of the Parthasarathy temple in Chennai. The pictures provide the perfect accompaniment to the poetry in terms of passion, variety, symbolism, poetic artistry and beauty.

So, come readers, come fall in Love with Krishna.

Sunshine to Sunshine, each syllable, each burst of light, a note of the heart

Orchestrated by the Flautist, the years of our life His sheet music.

The tryst with divinity, what began as a futile, endless search,

But eventually reaching a crescendo, converging with the intrinsic being,

With the images speaking and the words flowing into optical manifestations,

A conscious awareness illumining the truth that the divinity so sought after Lay in that quintessential word - Me.
About the Author: Vidya Shankar

An Academic for more than two decades, Vidya loves teaching children of all ages and takes pride in stemming the creativity of her students. Her passion towards literature, particularly poetry, has been her innate skill, and the fact that her students fondly call her lady Shakespeare is a testament of her literary prowess.

She takes her love for literature a step further by contributing to the voluminous ocean with her own writing. Though she has been composing poetry from a very young age just for the sheer joy of creativity, and had always dreamed of being widely acclaimed as an author, she had not allowed herself to go public, and instead, satisfied her imaginative strain for several years by writing scripts for school programmes.

Shankar Ramakrishnan (M.R. Shankar)

Shankar has had a versatile career ranging from the stock markets to multimedia but his inherent occupation was vested in photography. One could blame his DNA for that; his father was not only a freedom fighter but a photographer too in his own right. Nothing but an intense passion for photography could have induced Shankar to leave a well-settled job of over ten years, and that too in his mid-thirties, to pursue multimedia as a career, an arena that hardly was popular then.

This move also helped him recognise his other great passion, teaching. It took him places for work, to Colombo and to Dubai, gave him an International Best Faculty Award, and escalated his career to great levels with Asia's leader in Multimedia Education. But at the end of it all, his heart lay in Triplicane, with the Lord of the Parthasarathy temple.
