ABOUT THE BOOK : Tandava brings the twelfth century alive with startling immediacy, tracing the awe-inspiring journeys of Allama Prabhu, Akka Mahadevi, and Basavanna—mystic-poets whose vachanas still throb with rebellion, beauty, and truth. Their lives, now woven into Karnataka’s cultural memory, echo through ashrams, songs, and living traditions that continue to dream of an egalitarian world.
This is a tale of seekers who walked beyond borders, who made experience itself—anubhaava—the heart of spiritual awakening. Tandava is at once a timeless meditation on the human condition and a striking reflection of our own times, inviting every reader toward the possibility of inner transformation.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Mukunda Rao is the author of six books of fiction, two plays – one each on Gandhi and Ambedkar – and seven insightful philosophical works, among which The Buddha, Sky-Clad, Belief and Beyond and The Biology of Enlightenment are widely read and have become cult books among spiritual aspirants. He lives on a farm outside Bengaluru.
