YAYATI IS THE STORY OF THE LUST OF A KING BY THE SAME NAME, WHO APPEARS IN THE MAHABHARATA, ONE OF THE TWO EPICS OF INDIA. THOUGH MARRIED TO BEAUTIFUL DEVYANI, HE FOUND THE FEMALE SERVANT, SHARMISHTHA, ENTICING. HE HAD FIVE CHILDREN FROM THESE WOMEN BUT HIS DESIRE FOR PLEASURE REMAINED UNSATISFIED. DID HIS QUEST FOR THE CARNAL END WITH HIS EXCHANGING HIS OLD AGE WITH HIS SON'S YOUTH? HOW LONG DID HE ENJOY THE SENSUAL PLEASURES? YAYATI STANDS FOR ONE WHO IS NEVER SATISFIED WITH EARTHLY PLEASURES. THOUGH THE STORY OF THE ANCIENT TIMES CENTERS ONLY AROUND DISSOLUTE DESIRES OF AN INDIVIDUAL, ONE CAN DRAW PARALLEL EXAMPLES FROM THE PRESENT DAYS OF CONSUMERISM WHERE THE INSATIABILITY TO HAVE MORE PLEASURES CONTINUES.

""THE MULTI FACETED PERSONALITY OF AGARKAR WAS ADORNED WITH QUALITIES LIKE PURITY, NOBILITY AND MAGNIFICENCE. HE PERFORMED EVERY ROLE IDEALLY INCLUDING THAT OF A STUDENT, TEACHER, WRITER, EDITOR AND A SOCIAL REFORMER. HIS PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS WERE REFLECTED IN HIS WRITING AND TEACHING EFFECTIVELY AND STRONGLY. HIS VISION, LOVE FOR TRUTH, FERVOUR, SOLICITUDE, ETC. WERE BLENDED HARMONIOUSLY IN HIS WRITING. HE IS ONE OF THE TOPMOST ESSAY WRITERS AMONG THE MARATHI WRITERS. IT IS NOT JUST HIS ART OF EXPRESSING BUT HIS SKILL AS A WRITER AND A PROFOUND THINKER THAT MADE HIS WORK SO IMPRESSIVE. HIS STRONG AFFECTION TOWARDS SOCIETY HELPED HIM CREATE WONDERS WITH WORDS. HE TRIED INTENTLY TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL TO SURVIVE WELL. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE STUDIED THE TRUE FORM OF AN ESSAY OR ITS TECHNIQUES BUT HE HAD DEFINITELY GIVEN A STRONG CONSIDERATION TO THE REASONS THAT TIED US TO SLAVERY FOR YEARS TO COME. HIS WRITING IS THOUGHT PROVOKING AND IS BASED ON HIS INTENT STUDY OF SOCIETY. AGARKAR AIMED TO AWAKEN THE SOCIETY. UNINTENTIONALLY, HE MASTERED MANY ASPECTS OF GOOD LITERATURE WRITING. HE CONSIDERED HIS PEN AS A SWORD AND HIS WORDS AS ULTIMATE POWER.

THE BUDS IN MIRAGE THIS IS A COLLECTION OF 28 METEORS WRITTEN BY V. S. KHANDEKAR. MANY A PEOPLE WITH UTTERLY GENUINE AND IMAGINATIVE MIND, AND FROM DIFFERENT TIMES AND PROFESSIONS, RIGHT FROM EOSOP TO GIBRAN HAVE TRIED THEIR HANDS ON THIS FORM OF LITERATURE, THEY TAKE THE CREDIT FOR MAKING THIS SHORT FORM OF LITERATURE SO POPULAR AND INTERESTING.METEOR OFTEN APPEARS TO BE A COVERT INSINUATION. V. S. KHANDEKAR HAS VERY CONSIDERATELY AND CAREFULLY TITLED THIS FORM AS "METEOR`.THE TOPICS FOR METEOR HAVE CHANGED WITH THE TIME, BUT METEOR HAS ALWAYS WIDENED ITS CRITICAL SIGHT MAKING IT MORE EXTENSIVE AND UBIQUITOUS. SOMETIMES IT WAS TRIED IN A POETICAL FORM BUT ITS SOUL REMAINED THE SAME. THE OUTER CHANGED APPEARANCE DID NOT CHANGE ITS INNER BEING.THE STRENGTH OF A METEOR LIES IN REVEALING TRUTH VERY SUGGESTIVELY AND IMMACULATELY. IN THIS WORLD, EVERYBODY IS CONTINUOUSLY UNDER A DISGUISE. MOSTLY, BECAUSE OF PERSONAL AND SOCIAL SELFISHNESS AND LUST, THESE DISGUISES FAIL TO SUCCEED IN DECEIVING. THIS COLLECTION WILL MAKE THE READER REALIZE THAT ALL THE METEORS HAVE VERY CLEVERLY AND DEXTEROUSLY UNREVEALED THE SPURIOUS FALSEHOOD AND REVEALED THE TRUTH HIDING UNDERNEATH....वि. स. खांडेकरांनी लिहिलेल्या अठ्ठावीस रूपककथांचा संग्रह. इसापासून जिब्रानपर्यंत भिन्न भिन्न काळांतल्या आणि निरनिराळ्या पेशांतल्या प्रतिभावंतांनी कथेचा हा चिमुकला, पण चटकदार प्रकार लोकप्रिय केला आहे. रूपककथा ही अनेकदा अन्योक्तीसारखी असते किंवा भासते. `रूपककथा` हे या वांड.मयप्रकारचे शीर्षकही खांडेकरांनी अत्यंत विचारपूर्वक `घडवले` आहे. या प्रकारच्या कथेचे विषय काळाबरोबर बदलत गेले, तरी तिचा टीकात्मक दृष्टीकोन अधिक अधिक व्यापक, सामाजिक व सर्वस्पर्शी होत राहिला. क्वचित तिला काव्यमय स्वरूप देण्याचा प्रयत्न झाला, तरी तिची आत्मशक्ती होती तशीच राहिली. तिच्यात काहीही बदल झाला नाही. या रूपककथांचे खरे सामर्थ्य सूचकतेने, पण अचूक रीतीने केलेल्या सत्यदर्शनात आहे. जग अष्टौप्रहर तोंडावर मुखवटे घालून आपले व्यवहार पार पाडीत असते. व्यक्ती आणि समाज यांची बाह्यरूपे स्वार्थलंपटटेमुळे बहुधा फसवी ठरतात. या सर्वांचे सत्यस्वरूप कळावे, म्हणून त्यांच्या तोंडांवरचे मुखवटे दूर करण्याचा रूपककथा कसोशीने आणि कौशल्याने प्रयत्न करीत असते, हाच प्रत्यय हा संग्रह वाचून वाचकांना येईल.
