Produktbeschreibung

In Hinduism, Temples were the focal point of life especially in the villages.

They were repositories of not just of the Hindu religion but of knowledge in general. That is why you fnd ancient temples with stories carved on thier walls.

Temples were places where people gathered at fixed times, interacted, discussed issues and built relationships.

Other than the smaller village temples there were well known large temples which saw people from far and near leading to an exchange of ideas and thoughts. Temples were often places of philosophical as well as relgious debates and discussions. There were cultural events and a lot of give and take, the temples were thus important in the spread of knowledge and culture.

This book is a small guide to the Sri Krishna Temple at Guruvayur which is probably the temple closest to the heart of the people of Kerala.

It is also a travelogue of the visits to this iconic temple town over the last five decades.

Full of phtographs, this book draws the reader in the travels of the author and is easy and fun to read.

Written simply and engagingly this is a book that makes for a quick glimpse of Guruvayur over the ages.

Autorenporträt

An avid reader, a traveller who feels travel is its own reward the destination does not matter, Radhakrishnan spent years in traveling as part of his corporate job.

As long as he remembers he always wanted to write and would keep writing his thoughts and poems in scraps of paper, his notebooks or whatever he could lay his hands on.

Over the years as his job took him to different places many of these writings were misplaced and lost. Off and on a few of them were shared with friends who kept encouraging him to write and publish.

During the pandemic he made the effort to collect a few of the poems he could trace and the current crop are selected from these and they range over a period of 30 years.

His experiences shaped I reflect him and the perceptions in his writings.

He now lives in the picturesque city of Cochin in Kerala with his wife and two kids.
