Description
Description
ग्रीक दंतकथेतील प्रॉमिथिअस म्हणजे मानव कल्याणार्थ व्यथा, वेदना सहन करून साहसाने मनुष्य संस्कृतीचा विकास करणारा दिव्यापुरुष होय. वि. स. खांडेकरांना महात्मा गांधींचं जीवन व व्यक्तिमत्व हे प्रॉमिथिअससारखं वाटत आलंय. ते गांधीजींना विसाव्या शतकातील प्रॉमिथिअस मानत. त्या अर्थाने गांधीजी दुसरे प्रॉमिथिअस होत. खांडेकरांनी गांधी जन्मशताब्दीच्या निमित्ताने लिहिलेल्या या संग्रहातील लेखकातून गांधीजी प्रॉमिथिअसची तळमळ घेऊन आपणापुढे येतात. सारा देश मूल्यहासाने होरपळत असताना सदाचाराची सदाफुली रुजवणारे गांधींची व्यक्तिमत्व या लेखातून वाचकांच्या मनात आशेची नवी उर्मी निर्माण करतात. गांधीजींचे जीवन व विचार नव्या अंगाने समजावून सांगणारा खांडेकरांचा हा लेखसंग्रह कर्मकान्डांच्या जागी कर्मयोग रूजवू इच्छिणाया वाचकाच्या मनात सामाजिक धर्मबुद्धी जागवणारं आगळं महात्मायन होय. धर्म, जात, देश इत्यादी संदर्भातील संकीर्ण जाणिवा जोपासू पहाणाया मूलतत्त्ववादी विचारांचा पराभव घडवून आणायचा तर हा `दुसरा प्रॉमिथिअस` समजून घ्यायलाच हवा.
PROMETHEUS IS THE CELESTIAL BEING FROM THE GREEK MYTHOLOGY. HE UNDERWENT IMMENSE PAIN AND AGONY TO DEVELOP THE HUMAN CULTURE. V. S. KHANDEKAR FINDS MAHATMA GANDHI`S LIFE AND PERSONALITY RESEMBLING TO THAT OF PROMETHEUS. HE ALWAYS CONSIDERED GANDHIJI TO BE THE PROMETHEUS OF 20TH CENTURY, THUS MAKING GANDHIJI SECOND PROMETHEUS. THESE ARTICLES WERE WRITTEN TO PRAISE GANDHIJI ON THE OCCASION OF HIS BIRTH CENTENARY. THEY ALL REVEAL GANDHIJI`S YEARNING RESEMBLING PROMETHEUS. WHEN THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS SINGING IN THE DECLINING VIRTUES, IT WAS GANDHIJI WHO WAS CONTINUOUSLY PLANTING THE SEEDS OF VIRTUE, HE HIMSELF WAS EXECUTING UTMOST VIRTUOUS CONDUCT, BRINGING SMILES ON MANY A FACES. HIS WORDS SPOKEN THROUGH KHANDEKAR`S PEN HAVE THE CAPACITY TO EVOKE THE INTENSE ARDOUR FOR HOPE. THIS COLLECTION TRIES TO REVEAL GANDHIJI`S LIFE AND HIS THOUGHTS IN A NEW WAY, IT IMPLEMENTS THE IMPORTANCE OF FORTUNE AND FATE IN CONTRAST WITH RITES AND OBSERVANCES. IT CREATES AWARENESS IN THE READER`S MIND ABOUT THE SOCIAL PIOUSNESS. IF YOU REALLY WISH TO WIN OVER THE CONCISE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS LIKE RELIGION, CASTE, COUNTRY, ETC., THEN YOU MUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS `DOOSRA PROMETHEUS`.
