Mystical poets

C. L. RAMAKRISHNAN

BHARATATIN BHAKTA KAVIGAL: M. Srinivasan; published by Vikatan Prasuram, 757, Anna Salai, Chennai-600002. Rs. 70.

THIS PUBLICATION outlines the life-sketch and contribution of 30 devotee-poets of India. They include very well-known and not so well-known personalities, significant among them being Narsi Mehta, Surdas, Tukaram, Dhyaneshwar, Kabirdas, Mirabai, Tulsidas, Samartha Ramadas, Bhadrachala Ramadas, Nilakanta Dikshita, Jayadeva, Krishna Chaitanya and others. Their lives, their vision of God, the miracles in their lives and the poetry that issued forth from their minds soaked in devotion, find place in this book. The language is simple and the narrative style appealing. The lives of Narsi Mehta, Surdas and Dhyaneshwar, in particular, move the reader.
