Mysticism in Indian English Poetry (Sri Aurobindo, Puran Singh, Sri Ananda Acharya, Krishnamurti, India)
Abstract
dc:descriptionDefining mysticism as the quest for, and the attainment of, complete self-realization, this dissertation examines the work of four major and nine minor Indian English mystical poets. The study devotes a chapter each to mysticism in the poetry of Sri Ananda Acharya, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Puran Singh, and two chapters to Sri Aurobindo, the former on his mystical poetry, except Savitri, and the latter on the epic. A long chapter examines the minor mystical poets, Swami Rama Tirtha, Swami Paramananda, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Vivekenanda, Swami Sivananda, Mohan Singh, Nissim Ezekiel, Girdhari Tikku, and Syed Amanuddin.
