He was referring to the souls of his countrymen and women, which he sought to cultivate through his literary writings. Lilavati was his and Lalitagauris eldest daughter. Her education and the writing of Sarasvaticandra were intertwined. She was raised to be the perfect embodiment of virtue, and died at the age of twenty-one, consumed by tuberculosis. In moments of lucidity , she spoke of her suffering and that challenged the very foundations of Govardhanrams life. In 1905 he wrote her biography, Lilavati Jivankala. This is a rare work in biographical literature, a father writing about the life of a deceased daughter. Despite Govardhanrams attempts to contain Lilavati as a unidimensional figure of his imagination, she goes beyond that, sometimes by questioning the fundamental tenets of Brahminical beliefs, and at others by being so utterly selfless as to be unreal even to him. <em>Lilavati: A Life</em> is a cross between literature in translation, social and political history, and womens studies. Tridip Suhruds introduction dwells on the themes of the cultivation of selfhood, of nation and the ideal of sacrifice, which is sure to resonate with contemporary readership, especially women.</p>...1282770Lilavati7272https://www.gandhi.com.mx/lilavati/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/306779/22d8658b-64f0-4cc9-8172-c68e85e3afed.jpg?v=638334183341870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229789354926051_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_<p><strong>An exemplar of Indian literature-the only and heart-rending biography of a daughter by her father</strong> In a moment of rare passion Govardhanram Madhavram Tripathi, author of Sarasvatichandra, exclaimed I only want their souls.
