As the River Joins the Ocean: Reflections About J. Krishnamurti

Narayan

Penguin books.India

Set in the 1930s, the novel revolves around the Mala Arayars, a tribe in the hilly terrains of mid-eastern Kerala. Capturing their suffering, anguish, love, desire, aspiration, and frustration, Kocharethi depicts their move towards citizenship in independent India, the changing perceptions of land and its ownership, and their longing for an elemental life.  While the first half of the novel focuses on belief systems, rituals, and various social codes, the second half recounts moments of despair and personal loss. Together they create an identity for the Mala Arayars, and present a life-system that is slowly fading away.  Translated by Catherine Thankamma, this volume includes a detailed Introduction by G.S. Jayasree. An in-depth interview of Narayan adds value to the book. Thirty-four illustrations bring to life the story of a community that has remained largely unheard outside Kerala. With explanatory notes providing cultural connotations of certain Malayalam terms and a glossary, this edition will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers.

Set in the 1930s, Kocharethi revolves around the Malayarayars, a tribe inhabiting the hilly terrains of mid-eastern Kerala. Drawing deeply from oral traditions to underscore the earthy tensions of an adivasi society, Narayan evokes Nature and the Great Spirits to unfold the Malayarayars' changing perceptions of land and its ownership, and documents a life system that is slowly fading into history. Translated by Catherine Thankamma, this volume includes a detailed Introduction by G.S. Jayasree as well as an in-depth interview with the author. The accompanying illustrations bring to life the story of a community that has remained largely unheard outside Kerala.

Both Feet on the Land: Four Seasons of Connections and Reflections at Creekside Edge

Years become decades while dwelling at one place, beside one creek called home on the westslope oak-woodland belt of the bright-peaked Backbone Range. Season yields to season. Familiar trees, rocks, fruits, grass, tools, animals and barn, repeated chores, rededicated studies, the same walks, the same walls.Within the everyday tho age-old scene or event, within the ever near-at-hand but rushed-by sight, hides the transformative insight. In meeting the land mind meets itself. Then begins the innerwork.Together here we engage what is most basic, most urgent, what in busy whirls of activity is most easily overlooked. The poet offers neither a thought-system nor a step-by-step method for improving one's lot, rather presents an occasion to note, to absorb the simple fact of life's compelling mystery. One instant of attention. In each of these lyric or narrative poems we encounter an intimate discovery, an immediate opening, a something newly made one's own.
