Great Saints of South India
Description
This slender volume exemplifies the glorious tradition of Bhakti in the holy saints from Andhra, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra. It outlines the fascinating lives of these saints, glorious exemplars of India's spiritual traditions, highlighting the enduring features of their individual devotion and perception of godhead. Though the book strives to condense the lives of these saints, it does so without sacrificing the essentials.
The saints represent both Shaivites and Vaishnavites without partisan attitude. It includes also women saints, Venkamamba and Karaikkal Amma.
The book also carries significant extracts from the compositions of these saints demonstrating the fact that the Bhakti movement is also a renaissance of their respective languages. The texts of the saints' lives are enriched by the literary (artistic) inter-texts of their personal compositions.
