The story of Yayati is perhaps one of the most intriguing and fascinating episodes of Mahabharata. Yayati was a great scholar and one of the noblest rulers of olden times. He followed the shastras and was devoted to the welfare of his subjects. Even the King of Gods, Indra, held him in high esteem. Married to seductively beautiful Devyani, in love with her maid Sharmishtha, and father of five sons from two women, yet Yayati unabashedly declares, 'My lust for pleasure is unsatisfied.'

His quest for the carnal continued, sparing not even his youngest son, and exchanging his old age for his son's youth.The book has won Jnanpith and Sahitya Akademi Awards. Tales from Mahabharatha are an unending source for philosophers for a reason. They feature faulty humans in an imperfect world which is much closer to real world.

So when I picked this book, I had high hopes and maybe an expectation of characters with hues of moral conflicts. It turns out it was much ado about nothing. Yayati was a book I almost shelved at 25% after it pulled me down almost a year ago. I picked it up again after reading a blog of Devdutt Patnaik that talked of Yayati complex.

Unfortunately the book was too monochromatic. The author has modified the story a bit but somehow I found the book not compelling. Yayati the king who lusts for sensory pleasures, whose actions are based on anger or indulgence is not a typical hero. Devayani is a character you start disliking due to almost no redeeming qualities - the spoiled daughter of Sukracharya who is spiteful and impulsive is no victim.

Sharmishta who just doesn't put up any fight to the events in her life, is more defeatist than a beacon of sacrifice. The only sane character Kachcha whom almost all the 3 characters seem to love is almost the essence of everything good. He too talks in long sentences that are too preachy.

As it turns out, I could not feel sorry for any of the characters. And then after all the years of sufferings, they just seem to fall-out of the character and turn a new leaf.

Somehow didn't work for me. Free vst host download. Came across many rave reviews on GR. Just did not work for me and found it boring.

This was my summer-holiday read, & oh gosh, did it take up a lot of time! I'm sure I missed out a lot by reading the English translation instead of the original Marathi version, hence my review is solely based on the book I read. Khandekar informs the average Indian reader about the myth of Yayati, & then embarks upon his re-telling of the same. His chapter divisions are based upon the psychological make-up of each character.
