What is Spiritualism? What is Divinity? Is it the Obvious or is it the Symbolic? This anthology of 12 poems takes us on a spiritualistic transportation from the obvious to the symbolic. As we delve into some well-known facets of Krishna's life we begin to see reflections of modern day emotions and situations, the outpouring of pain and suffering, and the spiritual aspect of Love. This book is also an ensemble of photographs of the deities of the Parthasarathy temple in Chennai. The pictures provide the perfect accompaniment to the poetry in terms of passion, variety, symbolism, poetic artistry and beauty. So, come readers, come fall in Love with Krishna. Sunshine to Sunshine, each syllable, each burst of light, a note of the heart Orchestrated by the Flautist, the years of our life His sheet music. The tryst with divinity, what began as a futile, endless search, But eventually reaching a crescendo, converging with the intrinsic being, With the images speaking and the words flowing into optical manifestations, A conscious awareness illumining the truth that the divinity so sought after Lay in that quintessential word — Me.

Nature, Culture and Gender

Re-reading the folktale

By: P. Mary Vidya Porselvi

Folktales in India have been told, heard, read and celebrated for many centuries. In breaking new ground, Indian folktales have been reread and examined in the light of the Mother Earth discourse as it manifests in the lifeworlds of women, nature and language. The book introduces ecofeminist criticism and situates it within an innovative folktale typology to connect women and environment through folklore. The book proposes an innovative paradigm inspired by the beehive to analyze motifs, relationships, concerns, worldviews and consciousness of indigenous women and men who live close to nature as well as other socially marginalized groups. In the current global context fraught with challenges for ecology and hopes for sustainable development, this book with its interdisciplinary approach will interest scholars and researchers of literature, environmental studies, gender studies and cultural anthropology.
