Many British dignitaries visited Mysore during the period of the Maharajas, from Lord Wellesley, who fought against Tipu Sultan, to Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, who visited Mysore soon after India became independent. There are landmarks built by the Maharajas to commemorate the visits of some of these dignitaries, and also to mark celebrations related to them. Some landmarks relate to the Europeans who were in Mysore during the period of the Wadiyars. Although we may be familiar with these places or structures, we know little about these men and their visits to Mysore. This book is an attempt to highlight their visits, recall their contributions and how the Maharajas of Mysore accorded royal receptions to them. This book is also a record of the British personalities – Commissioners, Viceroys, Princes, and Residents – and throws light on the administration of the Mysore State of over a century and a half, from 1799 to 1957. In all, 15 landmarks of the British era in Mysore have been covered in this book, beginning from the earliest. As far as we know, no attempt has been made to bring these landmarks in one book.
Glories of SreeRaam in SreeRaamcharitmaanas illuminates the glories of SreeRaam, one of the most loved and worshipped heroes of Indian epics. Ramayana by Vaalmeeki is the largest epic in world literature. Among the various versions that appeared later, SreeRaamcharitmaanas by Tulsidas is the most popular. The present book aims to highlight SreeRaam’s glories expounded throughout SreeRaamcharitmaanas. In the process, all the characteristic features of the sourcebook have been retained. For example, the seven Kaandaas (cantos) have been divided into 9, and also 30 sections, for the benefit of the devout who would like to finish reading the book in 9 days ending on Ramnavami, or 30 days during the holy month of Saavan (Shraavan), or any other month. One can read the book at one’s own pace also, any time of the year. By reading the book, one can gain insight into the life of Raam, worshipped by millions across the world, and know his splendors. It will also help one realize the real goals of human life.
