Wonderful poems , Touching Translation
Cundaramurthy Nayanar was the pioneer of what is called " Vancap Pugazchi" genre of poetry in Tamil Nadu. Vanca Pugazchi was praising by mocking and was directed at Lord Shiva, his chosen divinity. The poems by their boldness and direct description of what are seemingly Siva's negatives bring us closer to the God with a touch of wit. There are two important dimensions in adopting this genre, that of the poet's intimacy brought by Bhakti that makes the God's power harmless, and of the God's humanness that makes him accesible.

What is admirable is David Dean's great rendering of these poems in Englsih. Being a Tamil myself I am very impressed by this Professor of the Hebraic University in Jerusalem. His fluidity and grace make this volume a delight to read and a treasure to cherish. Surely Tambiran Thozhar Cundarar must be happy that his cynical wit mixed with child-like devotion could be reflected so wonderfully !!
