Lalitamba was inspired by a pilgrimage through India. In 2004, we traveled from city to city, working to alleviate the suffering that comes from poverty, illness, and just plain loss of hope. In India, the Divine Mother is called Lalitamba. She is looked to as the supporter of the universe.
Lalitamba is a collection of contemporary spiritual literature that inspires the reader to look beyond the troubles of daily life to the bigger picture of being. Sapphire, author of Push, now a major motion picture, shares a poem Fairy Tale #1 about surviving incest. S. Churchills poem "Zacchaeus Soup Kitchen" is written from the point of view of a homeless man and describes the beauty of a woman who is not afraid to smile. Lorraine Tollivers poem "6a.m. Cold Ciphering" commands the reader to give up the sorrow of accumulation for the sun's great journey skyward.
Lalitamba is about cutting through the illusions of death, fear, and desire to know truth. The collection opens with a short story, Los Milagros, by Dina Greenberg. In the story, a Mexican immigrant finds herself out of place in the American hospital where she is being treated for cancer. Ultimately, she comes to realize that this hospital where she lies, perhaps dying, is the same place where her youngest granddaughter was born. The story brings home the continuity of life, through the cycle of birth and death, as well as a rich cultural heritage that will be passed down through generations.
The collection also features Gregory Colbert's cover photo of a child who appears to have wings. The image speaks to the innocence of our own hearts and suggests that we explore abilities we may not believe we have.
The underlying theme or power of Lalitamba is the realization that, whatever our circumstances, all we need is here, now, within our own heart.

商品の説明

著者について

Brahmacharini Sri Lalitambika is a nun with Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Ma (Amma). Before taking vows, she wrote food, travel and nightlife articles for national consumer magazines. Her fiction and poetry has appeared in Fiction International, NC Review and others, and has also been featured on MTV's Real World. She now serves as Founder and President of the Lalitamba Foundation, bringing yoga and meditation onto hospital awards for substance abuse patients. She leads meditation and sacred chant workshops throughout New York City.

Swamini Sri Lalitambika Devi began meditating as a child under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. After college, she made her way as a magazine journalist, fiction writer, and poet. Meanwhile, she struggled in a world that seemed to hold no meaning. On a quest for truth, she journeyed to India, where she studied and traveled with Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. She was ordained as a sannyasin.
Called to share what she had experienced with people who were suffering as she had, Swamini returned to New York City. She is now the founding and guiding teacher of Lalitamba Mandiram in New York City. She speaks in spiritual centers of all faiths, as well as in hospitals, drug treatment centers, homeless shelters, prisons, and at the United Nations. She is the editor of Lalitamba. She remains a student of myriad religious traditions.

詩と散文　精神世界

内容は全部英語ですが
詩と散文なので、たいへん読みやすい。

グレゴリー・コルベールは写真が1枚、
表紙に使われているだけで、それ以外、とくに関係ありません。
他に写真はありません。

作者は病院、刑務所、シェルターで癒されない傷を理解しようと
精神的な活動を続けていて、
その中で集められたホームレスやいろいろな人々の詩集です。

ただ、正直、定価1860円では買わなかったです。
送料を含め半額以下だったので
グレゴリー・コルベールが表紙に写真を使うことを許した本が
どういったものか、読んでみたいと思ったのでした。
精神の所在に共感し、写真を使わせたのでしょうか。
