EDITORS COMMENTS
The Miracle of Purun Bhagat: A Scene from Rudyard Kipling's 'Second Jungle Book' This illustration depicts a significant moment from Rudyard Kipling's classic novel, 'The Second Jungle Book.' In the image, Sir Purun Dass, K.C.I.E., a former Dewan or Prime Minister, is shown in deep contemplation as he sits among the gray-whiskered langurs of the Himalayas. Having renounced his power, position, and palace, Sir Purun Dass has embraced the life of a Sunnyasi, or Holy Man. The scene is set at a shrine, where the once-important figure now finds peace and solace in the company of these revered monkeys. The illustration, published in 1910, captures the essence of Kipling's story, which explores themes of power, renunciation, and the connection between humans and nature. Sir Purun Dass's transformation from a powerful Dewan to a humble Sunnyasi is a testament to the miraculous power of self-realization. The illustration beautifully encapsulates this idea, as the man, dressed in simple robes, sits among the monkeys, who seem to regard him with a sense of reverence and understanding. The gray-whiskered langurs of the Himalayas are an essential part of the scene, symbolizing the harmony between humans and the natural world. This connection is a recurring theme in Kipling's Jungle Books, which celebrate the beauty and wisdom of the natural world and the lessons it holds for humanity. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Indian history and culture, as well as the enduring appeal of Kipling's timeless stories. The image invites us to reflect on the power of personal transformation and the importance of finding peace and harmony in our lives.
