Change for Times
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
Have you ever imagined reading a fantastical story that is rooted in Indian Folklore? Epic Legends that could very well be true because there are actual temples built in their names and stories passed down from one generation to other? This is a story about a Demi-God who has around 15 plus temples built in his name in Goa alone. There are hundreds of temples all across the Konkan Coast of India, yet you may not know about him. Ferocious yet kind, demonic yet subtle, merciless yet obedient and all powerful.
Why is he worshipped and loved? When myth meets lore and born out of it is faith, such tales of existence of births, deaths and life till the end of times persist. Our epics were born and replete with such lore, until now.
Why are such epics not written now? What is our contribution to this fantastic ancestral domain? Such have times changed, should we then not - Change for times?
