About the work
This book was first published in 2017. The publishing house which brought it out has recently informed this author that they are closing the business down. Therefore, the book is being republished on the Notion press platform, as a revised version.
This is a rendering of all the eighteen chapters of the Gita in verse form. I have no idea if anybody else from India had ever attempted a verse rendering of the Gita in English. It is accompanied by a pretty elaborate introduction, essays on the various aspects of the Gita, notes on untranslatable Sanskrit terms, and a consolidation of Gita’s teachings under easily-understood headings. This work had elicited good comments from Prof. Gavin Flood, Professor of Hindu Philosophy and Comparative religion, at Oxford University, U.K., who had himself done a work on the Gita, among others.
This is my fifth collection of poems. The seventy one poems in this book are divided into two sections. The first section has just eight poems, all written based on well-known paintings. They are therefore called Ekphrastic poems. Seven of them were written for a twenty-poem-challenge run by a Canadian on-line magazine in 2015, by invitation. If I remember right, two or three of them were adjudged the best among all the entries they received and the title poem

If I remember right, two or three of them were adjudged the best among all the entries they received and the title poem, ‘Perfect Assertion’, is one such. All the poems are accompanied by their respective paintings. The second section carries poems written during the years, 2018 and 2019.

About the book
This is a translation of just four of the many works of Sri Chattambi Swamikal. SwamiJI was a revered sage and scholar who lived more than a century ago and is considered one of the earliest crusaders against social injustice in Kerala. The four works included are among the most important of all his works. If one is against the caste system of the time, the next one deals with the importance of the role women play in society. The third one deals with the quality of compassion and stresses on the need for practicing non-violence. The last one is a scathing attack on the myths manufactured and propagated by the powerful in society in order to retain their hegemony in the social order. All the topics are still relevant in the society and therefore deserve to be read by one and all.
