In an increasingly global world where the demonic appetite for
consumerism is gobbling up sensations and emotions, we literally
need moments to step out of the frame and loose ourselves in the
pleasure of the senses. This bedside companion is for those who
wish to inhale its mood, catch their breath, and savour the beauty
within their souls. "Leela" is a collection of Indian poetry from
ancient to contemporary times, complemented by some extremely
refreshing and original photography, graphics and paintings. The
book emerges from the celebration of sensuality and desire in the
Indian cultural landscape, where eros is a part of everyday life.
Dipping into the classical texts, the Bhakti poets, Sufi mystics,
and moving on to the bold canvas of contemporary verse, it presents
a mood-filled bouquet meant to be enjoyed in a lover's company or
alone. The visuals contributed by some extremely talented Indian
contemporary artists and photographers, as well as two Americans
who work with Indian themes, are highly erotic and aesthetic. They
brilliantly illustrate the efflorescence of Indian visual arts
within the global context. The works are starkly modern yet deeply
rooted in the Indian erotic tradition and are a delight to the
senses.
