Why TRI Chose “The Portfolio of Mythological Events: Festive Fiesta” for Nomination
In a time when literature is continually evolving, “The Portfolio of Mythological Events: Festive Fiesta” stands out as a work of rare brilliance. The Rise Insight carefully evaluated numerous entries, and it was Er. Sahu’s work that captured our attention for several compelling reasons:
First, the book serves as an extensive and well-organized repository of mythological knowledge. It is not merely a collection of myths; it is a curated encyclopedia of cultural and spiritual wisdom that links ancient traditions with their contemporary relevance. By systematically assembling information from diverse mythological sources — including Hindu, Greek, Christian, and Islamic traditions — the author crafts a narrative that transcends cultural boundaries and offers universal insights into human belief systems.
Second, Er. Sahu’s book emphasizes the importance of information in daily life, drawing a parallel between ancient myths and modern access to knowledge through platforms like Google. This contemporary approach to ancient wisdom makes the book exceptionally relatable for today’s readers, especially the younger generation seeking to reconnect with their cultural roots.
Third, the book delves into the significance of festivals and rituals, elucidating the rich symbolism behind fasting (Vrat) and celebrations (Tyohar) in various cultures. His in-depth exploration of how different tithis (lunar days) are associated with various deities brings out the intricate bond between cosmic events and human practices, fostering a profound appreciation for the intricate design of traditional belief systems.
Furthermore, the systematic structure and attention to detail in compiling this “portfolio” transforms what could have been an overwhelming volume of data into an accessible, engaging, and insightful reading experience. The book not only educates but also inspires readers to explore and honor the myths that have shaped humanity’s understanding of existence.
Lastly, Er. Sahu’s effort reflects a deep respect for heritage and education, aligning closely with TRI’s mission to recognize and promote literary works that contribute to intellectual growth, cultural awareness, and timeless knowledge.
