Product Description
- Premium Quality: In this work, renowned art historian B. N. Goswamy illustrates all the varied ways in which cats have made themselves a home in art, literature, and speech, as well as in our hearts.
- Product Design: In the Jataka Tales, cats turn up as characters whose clever tricks or pretensions are generally foiled by the Bodhisattva, while in Vaishnava bhakti, when a devotee approaches God in utter surrender they follow marjara-nyaya - the act of a kitten who passively submits to its mother as it is picked up by the scruff of its neck.
- User Experience: The Hadith speaks of the Prophet who once chose to cut off the sleeve of his robe when he had to stand up and go pray rather than disturb his pet cat, Muezza, who was sleeping on it.
- Versatile Occasion: In the Mahabharata, Duryodhana repeatedly charges the noble Yudhishthira with observing the marjara-vrata, drawing readers into the rich symbolic presence of cats across India's great epics and traditions.
- Quality Assurance: Authored by Professor Emeritus B. N. Goswamy - recipient of the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan and a world-renowned authority on Indian painting - the book carries exceptional scholarly and cultural authority.
- Ideal For: A rewarding read for art lovers, students of Indian culture and religion, mythology enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the enduring place of the cat in human civilisation.
