The idea that God is or is not or even why God has troubled the human mind from time immemorial. God exists so long as human fears exist, the absence of the latter makes God a misnomer. But fear and man are inseparable companions. In the face of crisis when man feels utterly helpless despite his wealth and ability, he looks Heavenward for Mercy. Gourahari Das, a versatile and award-winning writer in his book Bhabaku Nikata (At Doorstep of the Devotee), has faithfully narrated the divine intervention of Lord Jagannath, the presiding deity of Odisha as the Supreme Designer and the Prime Mover of everything and without whose consent nothing moves. This book is brilliantly written in his inimitable style, the contents of which being existential will make the readers feel enraptured with unusual insight into omnipotent divinity.
Autorenporträt
The writer, Gourahari Das, can be called a traveller. His journeys, both figurative and actual, both inward and outward, have made a writer of him. Born in 1960, in a back-of-the -beyond Indian village, Sandhagara near river Mantei he has come a long way. Real-life experiences acquired while growing up in an impoverished monastery sharpened his skills as a writer and endowed him with a sensibility laced with compassion and humour, which gives his creative being its distinctive character. His first book, Juara Bhatta (High Tide, Low tide), a short story collection, was published when he was only 21 years old. He has now as many as 70 books to his credit, which include novels, short-story collections, vignettes, travelogues, plays and essays. Gourahari has visited many countries across continents and leads a life full of activities. Many of his works have been translated into English, which include The Little Monk and Other Stories, The Nail and Other Stories, Koraput and Other Stories and The Shades of Life. He has received several awards such as Sahitya Akademi (India's national Akademi of letters) Award, Odisha Sahitya Akademi Award, Sangeet Natak Akademi Prize and Sarala Puraskar. He was also Senior Fellow of the Ministry of Culture of India and a Writer in Residency of Sahitya Akademi. Gourahari lives in Bhubaneswar, India.
