SUBHADA PRASAD PANI

"Ahalya" by Koral Dasgupta is a fascinating book. The reading flows like the waters of Mandakini. The philosophy dealt in the background & the woman in Ahalya have been portrayed magnificently. The only point is about the Indra. While we only see an aspect of the Chief of vedic Gods. Like any other Divine Deity, Lalitha Tripurasundari or Vishnu, we can learn their infinity through the finite description of the names (like Lalitha Sahasranamam or Vishnu Sahasranamam). To know Indra; one need to contemplate on "Indra Sahasranamam" written by Shri Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni (Collected Works of Ganapati Muni volume 3 , pdf available free from Shri Ramanashramam website). These 1000 names have not been coined by the Muni, but culled from The Rig Veda. Also recommend his "Indreswaraveda sutram"; where he justifies that there is no difference between Indra & Ishwara (Collected works of Ganapati Muni Volume 5). I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Ahalya" and looking forward to read "Kunti" next.

Excellent. There seems to be no other way to get rid of visceral fat / fat in muscles etc. (as measured by waist circumference & body weight) other that fasting and aerobic excercises. The outcome is not only lowering of weight, blood sugar, insulin level, insulin resistance but most importantly, reduce cardiovascular as well mortality risks!!! One point though, I would prefer gradual increase in fasting hours and also reducing food intake (low healthy cabohydrate). If you are a diabetic or in family of diabetes, it is must read & must trying. It will pay back in terms of healthier and quality with longer life.
