A Garland of Love : Illuminating Andal's Tirrupavai Paperback / softback
by Helen Burns, Alison Taylor
Paperback / softback
Description
Andal's eighth century poetry is interpreted for a new audience in this book of beauty, surrender and love.
Unique among India's pantheon of gods, Andal remains relatively unknown in the West.
The only female among Tamil Nadu's twelve poet-saints, Andal transcended her earthly roots and is now revered as a goddess. Steeped in luscious images of nature and alive with myth, her verses at their core are a deep yearning for the divine.
Sumptuously illustrated, this companion to the novel Andal's Garland, transports us to the world Andal imagined - a timeless world still alive today in the hearts and minds of those who encounter her songs.
