Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
The main purpose of this abstract to identify the significance of the Bhagavad Githa Which acts as right path for the redemption of human beings with regard to their urge. Sri Arun Joshi introduced his characters through novels in a normal way. But their journey is described from becoming to being, from initial negation to final affirmation. In fact the truncated state of the Protagonists is a first step towards the preparation for their metaphysical reconciliation and its resultant poise. They subjected themselves to all kinds of purgatorial experiences obviously trying to discover the secret of life in their distinctive ways in accordance with their individual accomplishments and angularities. Joshi’s first three novels Viz., “The foreigner”, “ The strange Billy Biswas” and “The Apprentice”, deal with three ways of redemption as preached in the Bhagavad Githa, Karma Yoga, the Jnana Yoga and the Bhakthi Yoga respectively. The novelist has also tried to present solutions, problems arising out of one’s awareness of the lack of the purpose or meaning in life. A realization of the meaningless in life is a prelude to its diagnosis and cure. It is viewed that the protagonists of all these three novels basically suffered from their similar crisis of faith resulting into their loss of identity and sense of alienation. In the midst of such a crisis, all the protagonists desperately started a quest for peace, harmony and meaning in life to regain their identity which they essentially traced in their own soil and culture.
