We've long forgotten the uber sensuous Urvasi casting her seductive spells on Pururava at Kubera's luxury garden Chaitra Ratha!! Or she's perhaps hidden from light? Playing her teases from behind Queen Victoria's iron curtains?<br /><br />We continue to have today, as we did back in Anna's time, as we did in Thatha's, multiple value sets and sensibilities. I find this plurality extremely fascinating!! <br /><br />Love the vivid narrative you've used to describe this splice from Annas life :) :).
