PREFACE
It is very gratifying that this book is being published in English language with a new name dubbed to it 'The Nightmare is Over - The story of Princess Anjana'. It was a great success in Hindi under the title 'Ek Thi Rajkumari - Mahasati Anjana.' (Published by Adhyatmik Shikshan Kendra, 44, Khadilkar Road, Bombay - 400 004 INDIA). This book contains a stunning story of Princess Anjana.
The legendary Hero, Hanuman of the Indian Epic - Ramayan, was Anjana's son. History records his heroism through ages.
Because the Ramayan was an epic of heroic deeds and thus based on legendary Heroes such as Sri Rama, Lakshman, Hanuman and great legendry Heroines like Seeta and many other who favoured the right path and severely punished the Evil and wrong doer's as 'Ravana etc. Thence the reign of Sri Rama was known in Indian History as 'Sat Yuga' (Age of righteousness). This epic was sung by every Guru and his pupils, thus it danced on every lip.
The Great Maratha warrior, Shivaji, whose name was a terror to the Moghul Emperor Aurangjeb, was fond of hearing the heroic deeds of Ramayan from his Mother Jijabai, in his childhood. One day, little Shivaji asked, 'Mother! Is Ravana, the worst evildoer, dead or alive ?'
"What will you do if you know that he is alive ?" "I am eager to punish him and his evildeeds".
"Then my boy, One Ravana is still living today in the form of Aurangjeb...!"
These words aroused in him a desire to kill Ravana and he became a hero of his age.
