| Summary, etc | I HAVE just finished reading the book: Krishna and Mediation; and feel very glad that the author has written this timely work in the post-pandemic era. We are at a point of time when the entire world has been forced to realize that the solutions we have built up in the past few decades are just not adequate. We had faced recently and continue to be overwhelmed by multiple challenges: interpersonal, environmental, economic, legal, physical health and many more. Consequently, we are compelled to re-examine our history, religion and indigenous life-skills. Even though the wisdom of centuries is available to us, we have only now started to realize its relevance and significance – that too only piece-meal. The author is a doyen of legal knowledge and pedagogy. He also has a deep understanding of spirituality and philosophy. He has used this backdrop to provide better insights into and answers, in this book, for a very basic and pressing issue: the role of mediation in alleviatingmany complications in the legal systems of a number of countries including India. He feels that mediation is one of the primary solutions. Towards this, he has demonstrated the historical and contemporary importance of mediation by analyzing the teachings of our religious-philosophical texts; principles of dharma in Hinduism; and more specifically, the importance of actions and words of Krishna and Rama in the maintenance of law and order in the society; and the indigenous justice delivery process. He has also illustrated how the very real principles, indeed the crux, of all ADR mechanisms, especially mediation, had always been inherent in the Indian socio-legal system since time immemorial. He has done this with special reference to Krishna’s role as a mediator in the context of the war which eventually came to be known as the war of Kurukshetra. The contemporary need for this study is borne out by the fact that mediation is getting acknowledged internationally as one of the most effective ADR mechanisms. Consequently, the efforts to make it even more operationally efficient and popular are also speeding up.- Reproduced http://14.139.60.116:8080/jspui/bitstream/123456789/48189/1/35_V.%20K.%20Ahuja%2c%20Krishna%20and%20Mediation%20%282023%29.pdf |
