About the Author

Ritesh began his writing journey more than a decade ago with his first book, 'Trees of Shade', which is an anthology of teachings of three of India's greatest masters. Being a devoted follower of Sri Paramahansa Yogananda and his teachings, Ritesh went on to write two spiritual novels (The Blazing Trident, and its sequel, The Astral Rainbow') as a means to bring out some of the ideas of that great world teacher, but in a fictional format. With a degree in engineering from VIT (Vellore), followed by a masters in management from IIT (Kanpur) and with loads of work experience, Ritesh's sabbatical from the corporate sector helped unfold his creativity through writing and yoga meditation. Currently, the author is based in New Delhi where he manages his own entrepreneurial venture.

Preface

PUNYAM (Religious Merit or Good Karma) is a book about God, demi-gods and asuras; sadhus and rishis; kings, ordinary men and animals.

India's holy scriptures (Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Puranas) declare God in His various personal aspects, viz, Father, Mother, Friend and Supreme Protector. On the other hand, the Vedas and the Upanishads, view God in His impersonal aspect, as 'Brahman' or the Causeless Spirit without Form and Attributes. From these scriptures, a bouquet of stories has been arranged in 'PUNYAM', which bring out both aspects of God.

"The Great Battle Between Durga and Durgama? (Devi Bhagwat Purana), Pasupata: The Indestructible Weapon of Lord Shiva (Mahabharata) and, The Two Tests of Parvati (Shiv Purana), are some stories that bring out the personal aspect of the Supreme Deity and the complex interconnectedness that exists in Hindu mythology between the different manifest forms of that Supreme One. On the other hand, stories such as: Raikva: An Unusual Saintf (Chandogya Upanishad) and, 'Who Can Burn the Straw? (Kena Upanishad), extol God in His impersonal aspect, as Spirit.
