SUMMARY:Vijaya Nagarajan presents Feeding a Thousand Souls: Women\, Ritual and Ecology in India--An Exploration of the Kolam
DESCRIPTION:Vijaya Nagarajan presents Feeding a Thousand Souls: Women\, Ritual and Ecology in India–An Exploration of the Kolam\, the first comprehensive book in English on the kolam\, a ritual rice flour drawing created by Tamil women.\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Feeding a Thousand Souls by speaking to a bookseller or ordering via our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery day millions of Tamil women in southeast India wake up before dawn to create a kolam\, an ephemeral ritual design made with rice flour\, on the thresholds of homes\, businesses and temples. This thousand-year-old ritual welcomes and honors Lakshmi\, the goddess of wealth and alertness\, and Bhudevi\, the goddess of the earth. Created by hand with great skill\, artistry\, and mathematical precision\, the kolam disappears in a few hours\, borne away by passing footsteps and hungry insects. \nThis book examines the kolam’s significance in historical\, mathematical\, ecological\, anthropological\, and literary contexts. The culmination of Vijaya Nagarajan’s many years of research and writing on this exacting ritual practice\, Feeding a Thousand Souls celebrates the experiences\, thoughts\, and voices of the Tamil women who keep this tradition alive. \nVijaya Nagarajan is an associate professor in the Department of Theology/Religious Studies and in the Program of Environmental Studies at the University of San Francisco. She lives in Berkeley.
