Produktbeschreibung

Kurukshetra -- a city where history blends the legend a city of myths, great battles, and even greater empires -- a city that lent canvas to the epic Mahabharata and bore the song celestial, the Bhagavad Gita -- a city that eulogises the glory of the primordial river, Saraswati -- a city no spiritual seeker would pass up on. Tracing the inviolable sanctity of this timeless city, Kurukshetra: this book explores Kurukshetra as a metaphor, a leitmotif of Indian spirituality and mysticism, and as a confluence of profound streams of faiths as divergent yet concurrent as Buddhism, Sufism and Hinduism, while recounting its story through the lives of warriors and kings, prophets and poets, saints, savants and freedom fighters who have shaped its history.
