Andal
Author: Priya Sarukkai Chabria
Publisher: Zubaan
ISBN: 9385932004
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Ninth century Tamil poet and founding saint Andal is believed to have been found as a baby underneath a holy basil plant in the temple garden of Srivilliputhur. As a young woman she fell deeply in love with Lord Vishnu, composing fervent poems and songs in his honour and, according to custom, eventually marrying the god himself. The Autobiography of a Goddess is Andal's entire corpus, composed before her marriage to Vishnu, and it cements her status as the South Indian corollary to Mirabai, the saint and devotee of Sri Krishna. The collection includes Tiruppavai, a song still popular in congregational worship, thirty pasuram (stanzas) sung before Lord Vishnu, and the less-translated, rapturously erotic Nacchiyar Tirumoli. Priya Sarrukai Chabria and Ravi Shankar employ a radical method in this translation, breathing new life into this rich classical and spiritual verse by rendering Andal in a contemporary poetic idiom in English. Many of Andal's pieces are translated collaboratively; others individually and separately. The two approaches are brought together, presenting a richly layered reading of these much-loved classic Tamil poems and songs.

Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
In eighth century India, Andal is born into a world where girls are married and with child by fourteen. Defying the mores of her time, she refuses marriage to a mortal man. Only a god will do. Andal’s imagination is boundless and her antics set the town’s tongues wagging. As Andal becomes more and more absorbed by her visions, she composes songs to her divine lover. Saisha discovers Andal’s songs in a book on a trip to India with her partner Marcus. The verses are confronting and unearth memories Saisha thought were long ago buried. Not only is she unable to conceive, for the past two decades Marcus has chosen celibacy. What defines her as a woman when these two primal desires remain unfulfilled? Andal’s words are deceptively simple, yet shine a lamp on the labyrinths of Saisha’s sexuality and her quest to find peace with the choices she has made.

The Secret Garland: Andal's Tiruppavai and Nacciyar Tirumoli
Author: Archana Venkatesan
Publisher: Harper Perennial India
ISBN: 9789351775768
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Legend tells us of a young girl in the ninth century who swears to marry none but Vishnu. She appropriates a garland meant for him - a transgressive act, yet one of singular devotion.,. Born of her boundless, consuming love for Vishnu are the two exquisite Tamil poems, Tiruppavai and Nacciyar Tirumoli. These compositions, in which Vishnu is her awesome, mesmerizing and sometimes cruel lover, give expression to Kotai's powerful experiences and her vibrant, bold sensuality. Eventually, the story goes, Kotai wins Vishnu for herself, becoming his bride at the great temple of Srirangam, for which extraordinary feat she earns the title Andal: She Who Rules. The Secret Garland aims to capture the lyricism, beauty and power of the original poems. Archana Venkatesan's detailed notes, based on traditional commentaries, and discussions of the ritual and performative lives of the two poems contextualize the significance and influence of Andal's continuing legacy. An essential addition to the classical library.

Book Description
Once in the impeccable Vaikunta, the Lord with his consorts, Sreedevi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi, was having a discussion about the Bhoolokavasis and how they could be made to understand the ways to reach Him. Then, Bhudevi spoke “As you rescued me in your earlier avatara as Varaha, I asked you about the ways to reach the goal of surrendering to you and you related three ways, namely - ● Offering lot of flowers at your feet. ● Chanting your names aloud as a group ● Surrendering at Your feet completely - Sharanagathi Hence, now let me take the responsibility and make the innocent people of the earth know these simple ways to reach you.” And the Lord continued saying, “Those who do all the above three are dear to me. But those who just sing my praise aloud are the dearerst. ” Bhudevi took the cue and thus decided to grow under the care of Periyazhwar, who did pushpa kainkaryam to the Lord, chanted his name all the time and believed in Sharanagathi. She was hailed as Godha fondly earned the sobriquets “Choodikkoduththa Nachiyar and Andal. This book illustrates the path she took and introduced to all to devotedly attain sharanagathi.
