MYSTICISM ACROSS CULTURES BY AMAR NATH DHAR
STUDIES ON SELECT POETS AND SAINTS
 
This study offers a fresh critical perspective on mystical poetry across cultures and faiths from a point of view that balances the Eastern and the Western approaches. It specifically examines, in some depth and range, select verses of a fairly large number of poets in order to highlight the universal features of mysticism as it finds expression in their works. The poets chosen include: (I) Kashmiri poets: Lal Ded, nunda Rishi, Shams faqir, Zinda ka ul, Swami Govind ka ul and Bhavani bhagyavaan Pandit; (II) British poets: Coventry patmore and T.S. Eliot and (III) 16th century Spanish poet, St. John of the cross. In a refreshingly novel way, the author discusses mysticism and its relationship with poetry, seeking to show how the latter, through apt images and symbols, serves to convey man’s experience of the divine. His competent English translation of Kashmiri verses, well-matched by his fine critical analysis of the whole textual material, enhances further the charm and Value of this scholarly work.
