These books do not preach, they simply put a mirror in front of the reader. The book tells us about our inherent tendencies, our experiences. The perky parrot Tiya's secure world is shattered when he hears an unknown voice urging him to leave his home, the old banyon tree. As he launches into an adventure-filled journey through strange lands, meeting fantastic creatures along the way.Tiya comes to terms with his strengths and weaknesses.He discovers that no one in t his universe is ordinary, and that life is a series of experiences that ultimately unshackle you from your own narrow existence.It is up to you to take on this adventure and come out of it as a free spirit.
Like other fables, Junglezen Sheru conveys a moral. A person is not like any other person around him. Every personality is imbued with a core strength. That is to be identified and worked upon. Then only he/ she would be able to realise his potential. He would evolve from being Junglezen Sheru to the lion that he is. The book “Carving a Sky” is concerned with individual’s quest to be human. The author’s opening line is “To be human is to aspire for excellence. The desire to be unique, possibly the best is innate to us all”. It stimulated me. I cannot claim to have any clear and academic understanding of spiritualism. I have not read spiritual texts. Still going through the book is an opportunity to understand what and why of living in the light of illustrations from my own persona.
I had written short notes on two of his books It was sort of incursion into unknown territory by an uninitiated. I heard from Rajshekhar that the author had appreciated my writing and he would be visiting my home. I had a nervous feeling. I knew that I had only an arbitrary and self serving idea of spiritualism, which may appear to be blasphemous to the sacred minds. I would like to view spiritual independent of religious. Being spiritual endows you with an ecological conscience. It enables you to respect and love self, people, nature and the biosphere including man. I believe that being spiritual makes you aware of the cosmic energy pervading in and around you. You are able to feel connected with all around you and with time extending from distant past to future as in the poems of Tagore.
