Summary of the poems of God by Balamani amma.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A study of her book Nivedyam and its English translation.by Dr Suvarna Nalapat

(Nivedyam –Poems From 1959-1986 .The 27 years of sweetness that emanated from the hot oven of Balamani Amma’s Athma and offered to the human civilizations .)

Whether we like it or not, ecstatic experiences search and find out poets .Just like the choiceless experiences of J.Krishnamurthy.They are” boiled in the heat of memories and the sourness removed and rendered sweet with time.It is this sweetness which human beings take out,churning the life on earth.And that is called literature.”(Balamani Amma in the preface to her work Nivedyam).Those who are lucky to taste this nectar awake into a new life and become the twice-born(dwija).Looking at the poems in Nivedyam(Offering)as three timespans in the poets life,tells us,whatever was in the poet in 1959 ,remain as such in her,without any diminishing or increasing.If we look into Sopaanam(The ladder)written before Nivedyam ,then also we see this same changeless character.So the experiences were not only choiceless but also changeless ,like the Brahman.The Vilaapa(written in her 16th year)and vanamaala(1939) also show the same simplicity ,the same love,visionary power,and purity.A soul destined to picturise only the softest emotions of humanity.A mirror kept clean throughout life.There are no secrets of guilt to be kept underneath the false carpets and later on taken in solitude and washed as a process of cleansing the soul,in those poems.No shadows of wild desires.A world of light and bliss and truth.A world where the shadows of body makes fearful images.The questions and answers of a yogic mind are lightened up in those poems
