WOMEN WHO WEAR ONLY THEMSELVES: Conversations with Four Trav
by Arundhathi Subramaniam
- New
- Paperback
Speaking Tiger. Paperback. NEW. In the fascinating exploration of spirituality, poet and seeker Arundhathi Subramaniam delves into the lives of four remarkable women in her book, "Women Who Wear Only Themselves." These women, Sri Annapurani Amma, Balarishi Vishwashirasini, Lata Mani, and Maa Karpoori, embody a profound commitment to their spiritual paths, each with their own unique narratives of self-discovery and devotion. Sri Annapurani Amma, following in the footsteps of revered saints such as Akka Mahadevi and Lal Ded, made the daring decision to leave behind the safety and familiarity of her home and family. Embracing a life of nudity and prophecy, she exhibits an unwavering dedication to her chosen path, fueled by a sense of humor and a deeply focused devotion. Balarishi Vishwashirasini embarked on her spiritual journey at a remarkably young age. By the time she reached her tenth birthday, she had already begun predicting futures and was soon revered as a guru. However, despite her achievements, she acknowledges a sense of longing for a traditional childhood that she feels she missed out on due to the intensity of her spiritual pursuits. Lata Mani, once a respected academician in the United States, has an extraordinary story shaped by a severe brain injury. This life-altering event led her onto the path of tantra, where she discovers the profound connection between spirituality and the wisdom of the body. Drawing parallels to the majestic redwood trees of her adopted home, Lata highlights the importance of grounding oneself while reaching for spiritual heights. Maa Karpoori's journey begins with her participation in a local yoga class, which ignites a deep sense of purpose within her. From navigating the ups and downs of marriage to ultimately embracing monkhood, Maa Karpoori embodies an indomitable spirit and an infectious zest for life. Her story exemplifies fierce independence and a steadfast commitment to her chosen path. Subramaniam masterfully presents these narratives with sensitivity, insight, and brevity. Each woman's story unfolds, offering readers a glimpse into their self-contained and unapologetic lives as they navigate their unique spiritual journeys. "Women Who Wear Only Themselves" is a revelation and a celebration of the strength and resilience of these extraordinary women. Through her poetic prose, Subramaniam invites readers to reflect upon the various paths to spiritual fulfillment that exist. The book offers a powerful reminder that spirituality is not confined to a specific gender, age, or background. These women challenge societal norms and conventions as they forge their own paths towards enlightenment. "Women Who Wear Only Themselves" encapsulates the multifaceted nature of spirituality, highlighting the intertwining of personal growth, self-discovery, and devotion. It serves as a reminder that the pursuit of a deeper connection to something greater than oneself is a universal human experience. In conclusion, Subramaniam's book sheds light on the transformative journeys of four extraordinary women. Their stories inspire and challenge readers to question and explore their own paths towards spiritual fulfillment. "Women Who Wear Only Themselves" offers a profound reflection on the diverse manifestations of spirituality and serves as a tribute to the indomitable spirit of those who choose to embark on this remarkable journey.
