Krishna The Friendly God by Karuna Dharini Devi Dasi
My Friend Jyoti told me that when she was a child growing up in Mumbai she went to temples with her parents to worship a variety of gods.
"I did not know which one to worship most. I remember my childhood anxiety. I worshiped them all to avoid making insult."
I laughed to hear her say this. Yet my own experience of religion was no less perplexing. i Every Wednesday morning in our school chapel we sang in loud chorus is:
"Sinner, do you love my Jesus? Sinner do you love my Jesus? Sinner do you love my Jesus? .. We're soldiers of the Lord! If you love Him why not serve Him? … Soldiers of the Lord!"
At Light and Life Christian Day School there was no concept of gods in the plural sense except for "Thou shalt not have any other gods before Me" in the Ten Commandments. We knew nothing but exclusive monotheism.
Meanwhile Jyoti was a product of a broad polytheism.
She told me that one day she found the words to ask her Mom, "Couldn't one of the gods be the best?"
"Yes, Jyoti, ultimately one of them must be the best."&

The forest of Enchantments , 2024
This paper explores how Sita is portrayed in The Forest of Enchantments by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, providing a postcolonial analysis that questions conventional interpretations of Sita's submissiveness and obedience. In this narrative, Sita-often seen as the embodiment of virtue and obedient wifehood-is recast as a strong, self-aware woman whose journey exemplifies the fortitude and autonomy of colonised people. By examining how Divakaruni's narrative reclaims her voice, wants, and conflicts as essential components of her story, this research dismantles the myth of Sita's obedience. The study shows how Sita's tale symbolises the complexity of female agency under repressive frameworks, the reclaiming of identity, and the resistance of suppressed voices through the prism of postcolonial philosophy. Presenting Sita's decisions as deliberate acts of autonomy. In her search for identity and independence, The Forest of Enchantments redefines obedience as a form of agency and challenges readers to reevaluate her as a postcolonial figure of resistance.
