Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gods of God's Own Country is a reminder of a forgotten culture and the communities surrounding it. Theyyam is a Dravidian ritual art form of Kerala, India - God's own country. This book provides detailed information about Theyyam, beautiful images, and hundreds of stories. We dedicate this book to the Theyyam artists, the veritable gods "Of the People, by the People, for the People." The author had the amazing grace of chasing the light with his camera during his management consulting, and volunteer roles, embarking upon expeditions in and around twenty countries over the past three decades. However, he has yet to catch sight of a place where over 500 gods descend upon the earth during a single season. Sandwiched between the Western Ghats mountain range (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the queenly Arabian sea, carpeted by natural greenery, the hilly terrains of North Malabar open it's off-beat paths for the Theyyam Gods to embrace the gods-forsaken disciples. Thanks to those Theyyam Gods, the Malabar corner is that truly shining city on a hill. These gods double-up as costume designers, painters, musicians, artisans, drummers, and choreographers. They transcend the human realms and have burgeoned into a mystical form, where they endure blazing fires and carry hefty costumes effortlessly. The Gods of The God's Own Country takes you on a whirlwind ride into the dense history and astonishing versatility of Theyyam, the ritual dance of the glistening cities atop the Malabar Hills of God's Own Country – Kerala. It is rich in captivating images of Theyyam and storytelling. The book's second part embarks on the Herculean task of covering the centuries-old, mesmerizing 101 Theyyam stories. Like the Blues in the Mississippi Delta, using song and dance, the Thottam and Theyyam express the melancholy of the Dravida, natives of God's Own Country, submerged under the 5000-year-old Chaturvarnya caste system. A true divine rebellion against mighty, unjust systems, their stories and art pluck a string in our own hearts today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD.THE SPIRITS DO NOT FORGET. VENGEANCE HAS BEEN LONG DUE.When Krish returns to his homeland of Kerala, all he wants is a break, some time away from his wife, and a chance to do some research for his book. But instead, he is drawn into the magical world of Theyyam, whose performers, dressed in ornate headgears and colourful make-up, take centre-stage in the sleepy district of Kannur. As the performers leap in the air and perform an aggressive dance, they enter a state of trance and turn into ‘gods’.Maria couldn’t have asked for a more fantastic experience to complete her thesis on the ritual form of worship. She forges a close bond with Krish, who acts as her local guide and together, they explore the mystic world of spirits, serpent-gods and forbidden secrets. But unknown to them, a grand plan is being executed in which they are nothing but mere pawns.Krish finds himself inescapably involved with not only two women but also the history of his land, the fate of his friend, and a spiritual journey that surpasses everything he has ever felt before. One that changes him irreversibly and for which, Maria must pay the price.

Book excerpt: One Woman, Two Lives is an Award Winning multigenerational saga set in late 18th Century Southern India. It follows the struggles of the women in one family as they fight to deal with the oppression of the caste system imposed on them, both by society at large as well as from within their own family. When a tragic betrayal results in the death of her sister, suicide of her mother and financial ruin of her father, young Bhavani will have to rise above the expectations and traditional role imposed upon her in order to take revenge and restore honor to her family's name. Nalinavilasom Bhavaniamma, Ajay's great-grandmother, inspired the creation of Bhavani in One Woman, Two Lives. Growing up hearing stories from Nalinavilasom Bhavaniamma about the "untouchable era" days sparked empathy in Ajay toward what earlier generations had experienced, as well as opened his eyes to what women were still fighting. Ajay, himself, witnessed many times where low-caste women and men were treated differently and he never understood why. The weight of Nalinavilasom Bhavaniamma's stories stayed with him as he grew older, and he knew he needed to share this story. Everything from Bhavani's fighting instinct to her deep love for family was inspired by Nalinavilasom Bhavaniamma.
