Iravu vanakkam. Naandaan Troy. Let’s look at those things about Kartik’s issue that really jumped out at me! First, there’s…

Let us Begin… Our Virtual Trip to India Here we see a young woman in traditional garb and a good balance of cool and warm shades.

Chandidas While pinning down his identity has shown difficult, as has establishing fact from legend in the man’s life, he nonetheless had a powerful effect on the arts, literature, and religious culture of the time. That’s kinda cool! A true culture-maker!

Farce in name of justice Government corruption is on the rise throughout the world, and here, Saptarchi writes on that of the state government of Uttar Pradesh. Governments don’t like people covering the dirty things they do, and will go to any length to keep things quiet, the sign of a weak state when even the suppression goes public.
Berlin, 2, Part 2.7 Brieuc continues the tale of his mother, newly arrived at Berlin, a Berlin devastated by Allied bombing with ruins, wreckage, and bodies aplenty. And then there were the negotiations…How did they turn out? Find out next issue!

Games Ghosts Play 1 Raghu tells a story of an apparition, of a friend of his seemingly deceased…Who, or what is behind this strange manifestation?
Happiness is a minority Dom offers verse on the Few, the Rare…The Happy…

Bitter Pill, Dose 24: Religion 7 BP comments on the tendency of Europeans to turn away from gods, especially the increasing secularism of Western European nations, and the religious vitiation of European Christians.

YouTubia: They Come Back The Authoress tells us about a movie about a psychologist who takes in a traumatized child – ghosts are involved, but not evil murderous ones! This looks worth checking out!

Gopi Krishna Cool! Here’s a professional dancer I’ve the good fortune to hear about in this issue. Thank you to the Authoress for this one!

Rahul Sharma, Santoor Legend This guy is good, to seemingly impossible levels of good with this instrument, and my time spent on YouTube is all the better for it. Here’s a link I’ve found: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTmACn6dkNE

Happy belated birthday to Dom for this month; I hope yours was filled with good fortune and cheer!

Minutes Together… I enjoyed the mix of light and dark shades as well as the rich colors in the foreground in this image. Are those earthen lamps in the background, around this tree trunk? I suspect so! Good work! I enjoyed both of the creator’s poems this month, both Bengali and Hindi, and as well, there’s… …

Mayer Mukh Labanya’s poem here is very well done!
Kalipuja This is a beautifully colored image of the fierce yet benevolent Devi Kali. You do NOT want Her getting angry with you, and the easiest way to avoid THAT would be to not do evil things.
Dipawali Here’s a lovely painting of earthen lamps lit for the festival. I’ve seen, elsewhere, photos taken from space of a nightside India lit brightly!
India This Month Here, the Authoress tells us of the distinctions between India’s in general and Bengal’s festivals for the month, something exceedingly good to know!
Pieces of Past: Ancient Religions 7 Here, we find out some very important details of ancient Mesoamerican cultures, the worship practices and some of the gods they revered! I’m less ignorant, just a wee bit less, than I was before!

Story from Ved and Puran – Sage Agastya drank ocean We are treated to a tale of a man with the power to not only drink the entire ocean, but digest it too! I hope those demon critters he exposed to attack were dispatched quickly!

Words: Character and Reputation Here’s some good advice, which jibes well with Stoic philosophy, as the only thing really under our control is our character, not what others do to affect our reputation. Concentrate on changing that which you can, seeking your virtue, not things you can’t, like what others think of you.

So, this is it for Kartik 1426’s issue! Please join me again in Agrahayan, and in Sorrugon, Tf. Tk. Tts

Agnishatdal Poush 1426 Critique by Troy David Loy

Agnishatdal Poush 1426 Critique: Agnishatdal Poush 1426, December 2019 https://gumroad.com/l/umPGr https://shoptly.com/i/mon by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy iravu vanakkam. naandaan Troy. Welcome to the Poush 1426 review of Agnishatdal! Here are a few of the outstanding features for this issue… First there’s… … Let us Begin… Our Virtual Trip to India This painting shows a young woman leaning, her back to a tree, while a small fishing boat travels past on the river in the background. Bharatendu Harishchandra So, here is one whose linguistic influence was deep and far-reaching. I must look for any published works of his that remain in print, and I suspect that these are more than a few sources I can look on. Rupjibi and Kalambiji Saptarchi criticizes the intellectual failures of modern Indian movies made for money, not the writer’s craft. Masai 1 of 4 Brieuc begins this series on the Masai people...

Scott Hastie, new face in Agnishatdal!

  Scott Hastie is a full-time Scottish born writer, based in the UK - he lives and works in tranquil surroundings in the English countryside, some twenty miles north of London. Primarily a poet, Scott also has had one novel - 'Reunion' published, as well as several lavishly illustrated local history books. Ten of his books remain in print today - principally his two early signature volumes of poetry: 'Selected Poetry' & 'New Poetry', first published in the 1990's - together with showcases for newer equally distinctive work, such as the beautiful and soulful 'Meditations' first published in the Autumn of 2013. Scott's current poetry is very much a positive and sparkling affirmation of human potential, with a growing emphasis on spiritual awareness. Given the impact of this more recent output and its fast growing cross-cultural popularity around the world, a much more definitive and comprehensive hardback collection of al...

Agnishatdal Kartik 1427, October 2020 critique by SB

  Agnishatdal Kartik 1427, October 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/Agbdb https://shoptly.com/i/buji By your good old editor! Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Kalipuja by Labanya: What a beauty. It captured the purity and beauty of Kalipuja perfectly. Will Bengal shine again by saptarchi : This question haunts all Bengalis that love their culture! Things have improved a bit under TMC but with saffron brigade’s eyes glued on Bengal the hearts are fluttering! If they ever come to power that will be the darkest day for Bengal. Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 7: Another piece of hilarious conversation between those who have created human beings and their boss. I wonder how human beings would have looked if they had feathers! Faithmark by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Quite an interesting story, well, instant reward for listening to a holy man. Hope he won’t become greedy and ruin the bless...
