Sir,
This is in reference to the article “Vrinda……Daughter of God. DE April 17. It would have really been intellectual task if the writer had given the reference to his narration of a story that is eulogizing the Asuras over Suras.
I was awestruck with the narrative referring to the Asura hero “He provided administration which was responsive and there was all round developmnet of Ausra Community. All was good”
“Jullandar had support of her wife with her boon and Shiva was having Parvati the eternal shakti on his side. She was proving better than Parvati…….” I strongly feel the writer was waiting to come up with this antipodic nature of article just after navratras as he could not take the same risk during the days of Durga worship.
I have a few queries:
what the wrtier intends to bring up with this narration?
Does he want to express how good have been the Asuras administration? or does he want to eulogize the loyalty of Asura’s wife whose real name is nowhere in the article except as”SHE”
Does the writer intent to represent Hindu Gods as demoralised? as raising questions on Hinduism has now been fashionable.
Does he want to set a favorable tone for the Asuras of today?
I have the queries as I was not able to understand the objective of the write up. was this to share descriptive information only. if so, I request the writer to always provide reference so that those
who share respect for Hindu Gods they may not get hurt rather they may look for strong reasoning to understand reality.
Yours etc…..

Sir,
I had the occasion to read your short story Vrinda — Daughter of God . It was so very touching . At the end my eyes were filled with tears and was feeling pity for hapless heroine who was cheated by God . She was epitome of virtue . In Hindu mythology there is no one who is absolutely good and no one who is all bad.
Even Lord Vishno was also justified as there was no other way to save the world . He had intention to save world and not list which forced him to take decision . The decision would have caused more distress to him than even Vrinda .
However I feel that there should be temple of Vrinda as wife of SadaShiva Jullandar and she should be worshipped as Goddess. The story also gives us lessons that while asking for boon we should be careful as boons can backfire.
I find something extraordinary in the writing . The story telling is so different. The conclusion of conclude story within conceived space and also conveys every detail thereby satiating readers
Yours etc….
