“It’s called jouhatsu in Japan,” Benton interposed. “The evaporated people—it’s when people intentionally vanish from their established lives without a trace.”
Wh-at. Vasudha’s jaw gaped. Had Benton read her thoughts?
Benten’s eyes took a faraway look. “Sometimes that’s the only option,” she said, picking up a string instrument she called Biwa, and left the table.
–an excerpt from my story -Jouhatsu , When Goddesses Walked the Earth by Chrysanthemum Chronicles.
When Goddesses Walked the Earth
A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. A woman must do what he can’t.
The quote by Rhonda Hansome captures the essence of Durga, the dynamic feminine energy that takes the lead when all else fails. What better way to celebrate the vibrant feminine power than to tell the stories that epitomise that essence?
This divine anthology by CC celebrates the cosmic energy embodied by the goddesses.
Celebrating Shakti! Celebrating Ma in all her forms.
Super stoked to see my story ‘Jouhatsu’ amongst other celebrated works!

India is the land of Gods and Goddesses, where religious beliefs and spiritualism are the essence of its existence since time immemorial. Each of the Gods and Goddesses represent an element that supports life and activities in the planet and the universe. These beneficial elements are revered and regarded as manifestation of God. There are numerous avatars – who are believed to be the descendants of Lord Vishnu – the protector aspect of Trimurti; demigods and Saints, revered in different regions because of their divine powers and unusual or remarkable personalities. ‘Shakti’ is identified as female energy, which is responsible for creation, protection and sacred knowledge.
