The Vacanas Or Free-Verse Lyrics Written By Four Major Saints Of The Great Bhakti Protest Movement Which Originated In The Tenth Century Ad. Composed In Kannada, A Dravidian Language Of South India, The Poems Are Lyrical Expressions Of Love For The God Siva. They Mirror The Urge To Bypass Tradition And Ritual, To Concentrate On The Subject Rather Than The Object Of Worship, And To Express Kinship With All Living Things In Moving Terms. Passionate, Personal, Fiercely Monotheistic, These Free Verses Possess An Appeal, Which Is Timeless And Universal.

Speaking of ?iva | A. K. Ramanujan

Things I have to do VS things I want to do😭
I‘m terribly behind on my readinggoals this year and I really really want to read. But I have my Master‘s exam tomorrow and need to prepare my Thesis for it. One more day until I can finally get some reading time (I hope)🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

On another note: Speaking of Siva is a very quick yet intriguing read that I‘m finding very interesting so far. 😊

Meh

so-so

Devotional poetry from four medieval Hindu saints. Some lovely lines, but I feel like I would get more out of it if I were the religious type.
