Epic Heroes in You by Dr. Krishna

 Epic Heroes in You by Dr. Krishna

Epic Heroes in You provides evidence and validation for the theory that universal psychic patterns do exist. All the principal psychological concepts explained in this book are the theories formulated or dealt with by Dr. Bolen in her renowned works Goddesses in Everywoman and Gods in Everyman.

The author has shared detailed aspects of three categories of heroes:

1. Virgin Heroes

2. Vulnerable heroes

3. Alchemic heroes

Men like Ravana, Arjuna, and Bhishma have the undivided attention that allows them to accomplish what they set their minds on. They can easily exclude everything extraneous to their goal during the process. They do not even mind if they have to give up food or sleep. In its most concentrated form, the focused consciousness can be extremely productive or destructive depending on the nature and intensity of the task at hand.

In every stage of his life, a man with the Ravana pattern only looks for what is beneficial for him, which requires him to expel unprofitable people from his ‘kingdom.’ No matter whether it is professional or personal, every relationship is a utility-based one for a Ravana man. His attitude clearly states ‘if you are of use to me, stay; otherwise, leave.’

Quote from the book that changed me:

"Learn to love selflessly. Stop living in your head alone. Respect the individual freedom of others and their right to make choices. Develop love for humanity and believe in equality."

I was intrigued to know about the varied heroes. Their aspects of perceiving life and dealing with emotions are worth the choice. The concept of keeping your emotions at bay and living a human life is worth the read.

The author has well-researched the characters and their lives in detail. He has depicted each in a well-organized and systematic manner.

Overall, it is an intriguing and captivating read.
