Book Summary
โ[Vinaya Chaitanya shows] an acute awareness of textual issues that never bothered earlier translators.โ โFrom the foreword by H.S. Shivaprakash Hailed as an early feminist literary voice, Akka Mahadevi was born in twelfth-century Karnataka. As a child she was initiated into the worship of Channamallikarjuna, her villageโs version of Siva. She was forced to marry her regionโs ruler, but, because she had become so ardently devoted to the god, Akka abandoned her husband and all her possessions and wandered alone โ a naked poet-saint covered only by her long hair. Her vacanas, a new populist literary form meaning literally โto give oneโs wordโ โ demonstrate both her radical devotion to Siva and the radical commitment to equality her Virasaiva poetry embodied.
