Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Divine Enchantment: A Mystical Poem Many years before our era there reigned over the province of Madura, in India, a tyrant, Kansa. During his reign there lived in an obscure village of the realm a maiden of the race of Yadu, named Devanaguy, who, so the ancient prophets sang, should bear Christna, the incarnation of Vishnu, destined to establish temporal and spiritual empire over all the world. This prophecy wrought so much upon the king´s fear and jealousy, that he ordered the virgin Devanaguy to be safely locked in his prison, and guarded most vigilantly, hoping that by cutting off in this way all possible intercourse with men, he might thwart the divine plan and the prophets. But during her incarceration the spirit of Vishnu appeared and overshadowed her, whereat the virgin conceived. During the term of her gestation Devanaguy was transported by a continual, ecstatic dream. Her spirit, freed from her body, ran through every pulse of passion, felt the dark terrors of the Void, and wantoned in the unwinged blue; thus giving to the unborn child, inherently, that for which the sages vainly sought. The following rhapsody is the dream in miniature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
