Mysticism in India is a complete and informative description of the teachings, works, and lives of the great poet-saints of Maharashtra written by a scholar and professor who was also a mystic. Jnaneshwar, Namadev, Tukaram, Eknath, Ramdas, and the other saints discussed belonged to the great devotional religious movement that spread through medieval India. With the exception of Ramdas, they all belonged to the tradition of the Varkaris, the most popular sect in contemporary Maharashtra. Their compositions exemplify the universality of their faith and practice, and are recognized as literary treasures. Ranade was primarily interested in the poet-saints as mystics--teachers of the perennial philosophy--whose experiences have general metaphysical and religious implications. At the heart of his classic is a comprehensive, objective presentation of the thought of these saints, augmented by a deep appreciation of their value and relevance to present-day scholars and seekers. Mysticism in India is the only major study in English of medieval Indian religious literature. The book's enduring value has been enhanced by the addition of a foreword by a scholar currently working in Marathi literature, and a preface by a present-day poet-saint of Maharashtra.

Abhangs & Bhajans of the Greatest Indian Poet-Saints Translations & Introductions Paul Smith From the 13th to the 17th century India gave birth to a number of great Poet-Saints whose lives and poetry is loved today as much as it was when they lived their lives of selfless devotion and praise of the Divine Beloved. They composed their poems in abhangs & bhajans that are here in the correct form and meaning, with biographies and bibliographies. Janabai (1263-1350) was born from the lowest caste. Her poetry reveals her love for God. Namdev (1270-1350) moved to Pandharpur where the temple of Lord Vithoba (Krishna as a boy) is located. He composed 2500 abhangs. Mukta Bai (b.1279) was the younger sister of Saint Dnyaneshwar but is a profound Poet-Saint in her own right. She wrote forty-one abhangs. Nanak (1469-1539) preached God as Supreme, Universal, All-powerful and truthful. He upheld the cause of women, downtrodden and poor. He wrote 947 poems. Surdas (1478-1581) praised Lord Krishna. It is said that he was born in Braj. He is known for his greatest work ... the Sur Sagar. Mira Bai (1498-1563) was a Rajput princess. Her powerful, beautiful bhajans are collected in her Padavali. Eknath (1533-1599) was a saint, scholar and poet. He is a bridge between Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Tukaram and Ramdas. Dadu (1544-1603) was a Poet/Saint from Gujarat. 'Dadu' means brother, and 'the compassionate one'. Tukaram (1608-1654) was a great Poet-Saint during the Bhakti movement in India and is still much loved. Ramdas (1627-1682) was a Marathi Poet-Saint and a devotee of Lord Rama. Bahina Bai (1628-1700) was a disciple of Tukaram. She wrote a unique autobiography and abhangs that deal with various subjects. Pages 214. COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'. "It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance. I am astonished. " Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator from English into Persian, knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets of the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages... including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Omar Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, and many others, as well as his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and more than a dozen screenplays. www.newhumanitybooksbookheaven.com

Devotion is a category of expression in many of the world’s religious traditions. This book looks at issues involved in academically interpreting religious devotion, as well as exploring the interpretations of religious devotion made by a sixth century poet, a twelfth century biographer, and present-day festival publics. The book focuses on the female poet-saint Kāraikkāl Ammaiyār, whose poetry is devotional in nature. It discusses the biography written on the poet six centuries after her lifetime, and suggests ways of interpreting Kāraikkāl Ammaiyār’s poetry without using the categories and events promoted by her biographer, in order to engage her own thoughts as they are communicated through the poetry attributed to her. In the same way that the biographer made the poet ‘speak’ to his present day, the book looks at how festivals held today make both the poetry and the biography relevant to the present day. By discussing how poetry, story and festival provide distinctive yet overlapping interpretations of the saint, this book reveals the selections and priorities of interpreters in the making of a living tradition. It is an accessible contribution to students and scholars of religion, Indian history and women’s studies.
