Author K. Gandhar Chakravarty launches and reads from his Maple Vedas at Librairie Olivieri.
MAPLE VEDAS --- K. Gandhar Chakravarty
The latest in a long line of scriptures, MAPLE VEDAS explores the voyages of the Gods of India -- Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, Kali -- as they visit the northwestern lands of the globe in the past, the present, and the near future. Peopled with other characters like a prophetic moose, a secretive walrus, and a charming groundhog, the interactions and dialogues of this third millenium testament force you to rethink history, religion, and your place in all of it -- wherever you come from. In Maple Vedas, we discover that the Gods of India continue to roam Canada and the United States -- perhaps standing beside you on a city bus -- but they have come in new incarnations. Will you recognize them?
