A Letter to My Readers: Exploring the Divine Feminine Through the Tridevi
A Letter to My Readers: Exploring the Divine Feminine Through the Tridevi
Dear Readers,
A profound sense of wonder and thankfulness fills me as I consider the path that brought me to this point. Holding the award for my short story, "Healing of Wounds," at the National Children’s Literature Festival was not just a moment of personal triumph but a profound call to explore deeper into the realm of divine feminine energies through my writing.
The Birth of the Tridevi Saga
My lifelong passion for Hindu mythology and its rich tapestry of divine figures inspired me to create something that felt both ancient and urgently contemporary. Thus, the idea for the Tridevi series was born—a series of graphic novels centered around the powerful deities Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Parvati, who embody the essential qualities of knowledge, prosperity, and power.
Crafting "Durga, the Divine Warrior"
In the first installment, "Durga the Divine Warrior," I dove into the essence of Durga as the embodiment of strength and moral fortitude. Her story is one of courage and the relentless pursuit of justice, qualities that resonate deeply with the challenges we all face in our lives. Through Durga’s eyes, we see the world not just as it is, but as it could be—fair, just, and equal for all.
Exploring "Saraswati’s Gift"
With "Saraswati’s Gift," I turned to the goddess of knowledge and arts. This book is particularly close to my heart, reflecting my personal journey as a seeker of wisdom and a proponent of the arts. Saraswati’s narrative explores the transformative power of learning and creativity, serving as a reminder of the profound impact that education and self-expression have on our lives.
Anticipating "Lakshmi’s Light"
As I put the finishing touches on "Lakshmi’s Light," I am filled with excitement and anticipation. Lakshmi's tale brings the themes of true prosperity and abundance to the forefront, urging us to seek riches that are not just material but also spiritual—virtue, wisdom, and inner peace.
A Note of Thanks
The creation of the Tridevi series has been a deeply spiritual quest for me, an exploration of the divine feminine that resonates within all of us. These stories are not merely tales from the past; they are reflections of our own potential for spiritual depth, resilience, and transcendence.
As we await the release of "Lakshmi’s Light," I invite each of you to join me in this celebration of divine energy and storytelling. May you find personal and spiritual enrichment in these pages, and may we all continue to explore the vast landscapes of mythology and inner strength together.
With heartfelt thanks and anticipation for the shared journey ahead,
Sukanya
