The Golden Lotus of the Blue Sea: Difference between revisions

'''''The Golden Lotus of the Blue Sea''''' is a children's story by [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]]. This lengthy tale is rich with metaphorical references to many of the key elements of philosophy and social theory given by Sarkar over the course of his life, including both [[PROUT]] and [[Neohumanism]]. There are also implicit references to persons and works appreciated by Sarkar, for example, [[:wikipedia:Rabindranath Tagore|Rabindranath Tagore]] and his poetry. The story is rich in sensory information, and the story contains both humor and adventure. Perhaps the overriding feature of this story is the compassion expressed for every character in the novella and, ultimately, every entity of the universe. If there is a single moral in this story, then it would have to be to shun selfishness and embrace universalism.<ref name="TGL">{{cite book|title=The Golden Lotus of the Blue Sea|author=Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar}}</ref>
