The Love Letter

Description

The Love Letter portrays the quest for happiness. It’s universal.

The novel takes off, when Kalpana hands over a love letter to the Cap. Raja, the protagonist of the Love Letter. His love fails after the birth of his second son. He resigns his commission under pressure, and accepts the job of an executive in Hyderabad to be happy. But his family falls apart.

After tribulations he is the assistant secretary of the paper mill in Rajavaram. There he tries to be happy with friends, but is caught in troubles.
Then he’s led to St. Satyananda. The saint initiates him into meditation and pranayama. He stops looking at and starts looking into. How he gains inner power, and how everything falls in its place in his life makes the novel a page turner.

The main characters are archetypal, and give an insight into life. Raja is sensual, Rani, hedonistic, Kalpana, pragmatic, and so on. St. Satyananda raises the level of the novel with Indian mysticism. The relationships intrigue, and leave a message that they do not endure without an element of selflessness. The protagonist proves to the hilt that hankering for sensual pleasure produces pain ultimately, and an individual is no other than God, jivo Brahmaiva naparah.

The Love Letter is an allegory, and it caters to all kinds of readers. Any reader just turns the pages to know what leads to the love letter. Above all The Love Letter is the protagonist’s journey from darkness to light, thamasoma jyothir gamayah.
