Overview

After the collection of Ghazals, Aamin, Aasan is the second collection of Ghazals by Alok Srivastava. This collection testifies to the proficiency of a young Ghazal writer in various forms of poetry, connected to the new era and the common man. In this collection, Alok is seen summing up a Sufi thought related to devotion in a couplet. Aasan also preserves compositions written on religion, philosophy, spirituality and mythological sentiments. Whether it is 'Shiv Tandav Stotra' composed by scholar Ravan, 'Rudrashtakam' written by Goswami Tulsidas, or 'Saptapadi' of words from the bride and groom on the occasion of marriage, the translation of all these important compositions from Sanskrit to easy Hindi is a part of this book. This book is also a witness to the poems composed on the good conduct of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram and the song written on the character of Dashanan Ravan.
