Re: Dear GoldenMean

Thank you so much for your praise and that I have been able to present the story which, you now feel raises itself beyond the levels of a soap opera and is 'soaring to the heights of an epic work'. How will Arjuna get back to the task at hand is somewhat long drawn but very interesting as also intriguing, because his mind lacks clarity and he goes on posing questions after questions. Krishna's tackling of them in a most serene and convincing manner is the real essence of learning and satisfying for us all. And, as you wished in your last comment that the next episode may provide 'relief', so I designed the write in a like manner, and am indebted to you for my having to think differently than what was earlier in my mind as to its presentation, one that has an immediate appeal, and I hope I have been able to achieve that objective. Let us, in the meantime enjoy the further dialogues between Arjuna and Krishna. Cheers

This has now risen above and beyond the trappings of a soap opera,  and is soaring to the heights of an epic work on good,  evil, and justice.  Arjuna seems to be a true hero for goodness and justice,  which the story sorely needed.  But I fear Arjuna is letting family relationships muddy his thinking about what is right and wrong.  There is far more than  "royal pleasures"  at stake.  His evil kin are no doubt royal abusers of their subjects,  as well as stealing royal power from Arjuna and his brothers.  I hope that Arjuna will realize this,  and get back to the task at hand. Excellent translation and writing,  many thanks and....  Cheers!

Re: Oh Wonderful, dear brother Aba

I am glad you liked it so much big Sis, which makes my toil so much more pleasurable. I can almost see the enthusiasm through your use of fine language,  I mean the felicity of the word choices, and the thoughts that go into your comment. Pleasures that I treasure. Thank you so very much for your appreciation.

Oh Wonderful, dear brother Aba

This was just fantastic, and fantastically told, li'l bro! It's better the second time, for as a child sometimes needs to hear/read/see new things a few times to better comprehend, so is it with this series. And already the foundation for the wisdom has been laid, both for us as readers, and for Arjuna, the frustrated, depressed, withdrawn and conflicted warrior. How true, this seems to happen in life, one must reach the lowest low, seek and find from the seeming nothingness left within, a strength to uplift oneself; and manage to crawl out of the emotional pit, in order to rise beyond one's own false prior perceptions of one's self, one's proud, self-serving, self-important, self. But it is a painful process, and some, it appears, do escape this agony. But that may be only our perception, and an illusion. Wow! Many stars...and thank you so much.

Re: Aba Brother

Ok, dear Presta, whenever you find time. I know it is somewhat voluminous but I'm sure you'll enjoy. Written basically as an attempt to answer GM's query as to whether it is a soap opera as he finds it.
