Items related to Ashes of a God
The Ashes of the God reminds us of the legend in which Kama (the Hindu Cupid) is reduced to ashes by the opening of the third eye (the eye of wisdom) of Lord Shiwar when he tried to seduce him for his meditation with a vision of female beauty. But as F. W. Bain reminds us there is a dynamic link between love and memory and in remembrance love rises like a living Phoenix from the ashes of oblivion.

About the Author:
F. W. Bain was a Professor of History and Economics at Deccan College in Poona in the early twentieth century. Each of the books in this series is said to be translated from the original manuscripts, which were apparently in Sanskrit. Professor Bain's erudite yet sensitive introductions and footnotes indicate his extensive scholarship in both the Easter and Western traditions.
