Event Description: Women Saints of India: The Roots of Their Spiritual Audacity

Speaker: K. Jaykumar

Chair: Smt Chuden Misra, Member-Secretary, INTACH

The talk will explore the spiritual, psychological and social dimensions of the conduct of women mystics saints like Lal Ded and Rupa Bhavani of Kashmir, Akka Mahadevi of Karnataka, Meera of Rajastam, the Buddhist women ascetics in Theri Gatha, Andal of Tamil Nadu, Mukta Bai of Maharashtra, and several others who lived lives as dictated by their clear inner urge in India. What makes them so audacious that even nudity is of no consequence to some of them. The exploration will also lead towards that inner sun of realization.

K. Jayakumar is a poet writing in both Malayalam and English. Author of 45 books, including ten anthologies of poems and an equal number of translations.
