Satyawati- Grand Narrative Epic

Preface

The epic literary traditions of the East, exemplified by monumental works such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, have long stood as cornerstones of cultural and philosophical thought. Similarly, Western literature and philosophy have produced enduring masterpieces such as The Odyssey, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained, which have offered readers profound satisfaction, insight, and knowledge.

Building upon the foundations of these epic traditions, this book focuses on the life of Satyawati, a character deeply rooted in Eastern philosophical thought. It explores her life journey, unwavering commitment to dharma, ambitions in accumulating power, the influence of her father’s aspirations, and the many facets of her complex personality.

The narrative of this epic begins with the sage Parashar and extends up to a point slightly before the great battle of the Mahabharata. Beyond recounting events, it delves into the aspirations, struggles, and ambitions that drive human life.

Through Satyawati’s story, the reader encounters a vital lesson: even when life offers all worldly pleasures, true satisfaction remains elusive unless one actively shapes their own “Kurukshetra.” This epic portrays the ups and downs of life, human desires, ambitions, and countless challenges. It illustrates that without steadfast effort and perseverance, an individual’s existence cannot reach its fullest potential.
