Kalidas Chintan (Hindi Edition)

Even Western scholars acknowledged the extraordinary talent of Kalidasa, the worlds greatest playwright and world poet. Be it Sir William Jones, Goethe, or even Shakespeare, all were ardent admirers of Kalidasas writings. What can be said about those Indian politicians and so-called pundits who, influenced by Western opinion, limit Kalidasas work to Sanskrit literature alone? Pandit Suryanarayan Vyas, the great scholar who revived Kalidasas name worldwide, laid the foundation for modern Indian cultural theatre by inaugurating the All India Kalidasa Festival in Ujjaini in 1928. This collection of essays on Kalidasas period, birth, art, rasa, and other aspects, from the pen of Pandit Vyas, a profound scholar of Kalidasa literature and founder of the Kalidasa Academy, is a sea in a pot. A wonderfully researched perspective on Kalidasa and Vikrama, Bhasa and Bhartrihari, Bhavabhuti and Bharata, Vatsyayana and Kalidasa - the topics that are currently being discussed among scholars across the world, such as the poets of Kalidasas predecessors, contemporaries and later periods, from the powerful pen of an extraordinary scholar, here is presented a unique work on the world poet Kalidasa - Kalidas Chintan. Kalidas Chintan, a work with the extraordinary editing and poignant articles of Shri Rajshekhar Vyas, the capable son of a great father who was dedicated wholeheartedly to the selection, compilation, editing and publication of his various works on Kalidasa and Vikrama, will not fail to captivate you.
