He is brilliant, terrifying, wild and beneficent. He is both an ascetic and a householder, both a yogi and a guru. He encompasses the masculine and the feminine, the powerful and the graceful, the Tandava and the Laasya, the darkness and the light, the divine and the human.\u003cbr\u003eWhat can we learn from this bundle of contradictions, this dreadlocked yogi? How does he manage the devotions and duties of father, husband and man of the house, and the demands and supplications of a clamorous cosmos?\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Reluctant Family Man\u003c\/i\u003e, Nilima Chitgopekar uses the life and personality of Shiva-his self-awareness, his marriage, his balance, his detachment, his contentment-to derive lessons that readers can practically apply to their own lives.With chapters broken down into distinct frames of analysis, she defines concepts of Shaivism and interprets their application in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Penguin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143443216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Chitgopekar Nilima","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067603878069,"sku":"9780143443216","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_825d1e89-c9f3-4e41-b5d4-a93e1f02ebd4.jpg?v=1690861206","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/reluctant-family-man-9780143443216","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
