The Feminine Principle in the Sikh Vision of the Transcendent (Paperback)

This work is a critical analysis of Sikh literature from a feminist
perspective. It begins with Guru Nanak's vision of Transcendent
Reality and concludes with the mystical journey of Rani Raj Kaur,
the heroine of a modern Punjabi epic. The eight chapters of the
book approach the Sikh vision of the Transcendent from historical,
scriptural, symbolic, mythological, romantic, existential, ethical
and mystical perspectives. Each of these discloses the centrality
of the woman, and show convincingly that Sikh Gurus and poets did
not want the feminine principle to serve merely as a figure of
speech or literary device; it was intended rather to pervade the
whole life of the Sikhs. The present work bolsters the claim that
literary symbols should be translated into social and political
realities, and in so doing puts a valuable feminist interpretation
on a religious tradition which has remained relatively unexplored
in scholarly literature.
