Jyotsna

Rangrez Mere Jyotsna

What is true faith? Can true faith challenge the social fabric to enunciate the highest sentiments from an individual's heart? Do we always understand faith from the perspective of a preacher? How far will you go to answer the questions that resonate from within? Jyotsna Chhokar always knew of and made offerings to Krishna, a Hindu deity worshipped in India, from the substantial perspective of superiors in the family and society. It was only a decade ago when she began to fathom Krishna through the yearning eyes of Meera, a 16th century Hindu poet and devotee of Krishna, that she was able to unearth the vast potential of understanding faith from deep within. The book is a revelation about the soul, heart and vigor of the author's extreme devotion to Lord Krishna. She questions Krishna's elongated silence to acknowledge her admiration through her heart-rending poetry. This book is rooted in the author's understanding of faith where her heart has played both teacher and guide.
