And below her hair, she would put on a garland and spend a few minutes just gazing into a pond, seeing her reflection and satisfying her desire before turning away and returning the worn garland to her flower basket The emperor Krishnadevaraya s epic poem Amuktamalyada (Giver of the Worn Garland) depicts the life of the medieval Vaisnava poet-saint Andal, or Goda Devi as she is also known, and her passionate devotion to Lord Visnu. Krishnadevaraya s unique poetic imagination brings to life a celestial world filled with wonder, creativity, humour and vibrant natural beauty. The mundane is made divine and the ordinary becomes extraordinary; the routine activities of daily life become expressive metaphors for heavenly actions, while the exalted gods of heaven are re-imagined as living persons. The poet s ability to see divinity in the most commonplace activities is an extension of his powerful belief that god is everywhere, in everything, at all times.

    The quality of book is good. Description of events is great. For a beginner who has no/little knowledge about godadevi/andal will get a lot of info and is easy to connect with the concept.

    There are 45 pages missing and those pages contain the history of language and poetry. There are only 220 pages where as the description says 265. Very disappointed with this delivery

    Amazed to read the history of this book. The original version is written by a Kannada king in Telugu language and is about a Tamil saint and describes Madurai with great zest. Amazing, that despite cut-throat warfare in the South the people still managed to praise something or the other from other regions. As a translation, obviously it looks kludgy but the author has made best effort and called this his labour of love. Praiseworthy. My prime reason for liking this book is it notes and annotations. Very nice.
