[Gutenberg 48909] • The Ashes of a God

This translation of an original Sanskrit script in the Vedic / Sanskrit religion-philosophic tradition recounts a legend in which Kama (the Hindu Cupid) is reduced to ashes by the opening of the third eye (the eye of wisdom) of Lord Shiwar when he tried to seduce him for his meditation with a vision of female beauty. The story also deals with the dynamic link between love and memory, where love, in remembrance, rises like a living Phoenix from the ashes of oblivion.
