About the Book

Vasudeva...The Wanderer Prince discusses mainly the anecdotes/stories related to Vasudeva, the father of Balaram and Krishna, who were in relation and contemporary of the 21st Tirthankara Neminatha or Arishtanemi. As lucidly pointed out by the author herself, the book concentrates on the journey of Vasudeva involving his wandering from Magadha to the entire North India and even beyond. The stories include his lust for worldly possessions, authority and beautiful women for sensuous pleasure, but all such stories (not so well connected) conclude with spiritual or moral experience and suggestions, which reveal some important aspects of Jaina philosophy and moral values. However, the objective of the present book is altogether different, which presents Vasudeva as a wanderer and in course of his wandering enormous knowledge of geography and different aspects of regional cultural features are provided, which are a tremendous source of cultural history. It is a book dealing with a text of Jaina stories centring around the wandering character of Vasudeva and his interaction both with the mortal human beings and semi-divine Vidhyadharas/ Vidyadharis to make the stories interesting as well as meaningful. The translation is flawless and the language is chaste making the reading of the book interesting. It is indeed a new approach for the study of ancient Indian texts, which the readers will find absorbing with relevant messages of moving from worldly to spiritual attainment, the ultimate goal of human life. I congratulate the author for brilliant retelling of the stories based on the text Vasudevahindi. Professor MARUTI NANDAN Pd. TIWARI Former National Tagore Fellow, Former Emeritus Professor and Former Head, Department of History of Art, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi

About the Author :
SANGHADASAGANI was a Jain author who has made seminal contribution to Prakrit literature with his work Vasudevahindi. He is believed to have lived sometime between the 2nd and 3rd century. As the epithet gani implies, he was a well read and respected scholar of his times. Little else is known about him except that he is not to be confused with Sanghadasa, a monk of the 6th century. SUDHAMAHI REGUNATHAN is former Vice Chancellor of the Jain Vishva Bharati University in Ladnun, Rajasthan. An author and translator of books such as Siku: Faith and Conversion: Donyipolo Movement in Arunachal Pradesh, Rishabhayan: The Story of the First King, The Colours of Desire on the Canvas of Restraint and From One Birth to Another: Stories from Jaina Literature, her work has been primarily to understand different faiths and beliefs. Her latest book, Taken Away: The Ordinary Life of a Lama is co-authored with a Buddhist monk. She writes for adults and children, her most recent one being Ramayana for Babies.
