This book presents the life stories and poems of six well-known saint-poets of north India-Ravidas, Kabir, Nanak, Surdas, Mirabai, and Tulsidas-who have contributed more to the religious vocabulary of Hinduism in north India today than any voices before or since. In worship, in education, even in politics, modern Hinduism sings their tune. With a biographical and interpretive essay on each poet and a selection of representative poems in verse translation, the volume offers a complete introduction to a literature that transcends the boundaries we associate with religion and with India as well.
