Rich Indian Methodology with reference to The Ramayana and The Mahabharata is shown symbolically in her poems. The legend of Savitri is a; long poem divided in to five parts. . Sita stands as symbol of the simple and trusting wife. In Indian mythology ‘Shakti’ or the Indian woman is projected in various moods as is seen in the incarnations of the female psyche in terms of various incarnations (Avatars) of Durga. Dhruva symbolises the importance of quest for truth. A life devoid of material is anchoring but devoted to virtues like meekness, sincerity, friendship and love.
