Why are not Odissi musicians and dancers taking up her poetry (as the poetry of Andal has been taken up in Carnatic Music/Bharatanatyam; or that of Meerabai in Hindustani music/Kathak?)<br /><br />If you know of any examples please share? Thanks in advance!

Pe...It is nice that you thought about Madhabi Dasi. Perhaps I have seen one of her poems some where. Do you know what happened to Chhoto Haridas who were supposed to have affair with her? He once brought some fine rice from Madhabi Dasi for Sri Chaitanya Deva. He knew from some one about that.. He was very angry about that and rejected Chhota Haridas for his "Prakriti Sambhasana", that means communication with Prakriti, means ,woman. Though he knows Madhabi Dasi was a spiritual aspirant still He said that. And There was one devotee Bada Hari Das. Chaitanya Deva told ' If Bada Haridas will do" jabani Sangam "means., even if he has intercourse with a Muslim woman then also he can be forgiven but not Chhota Haridas. Perhaps he knew that Chhota Haridas was had some weakness for her. Poor Madhabai Dasi gave the rice for Her master so that Sri Chaitanya will love to eat it with joy. .<br /> Chhoto haridas tried to beg forgiveness but not granted-- so he went and committed suicide. Imagine the plight of Madhabi after that.<br />In the history of Spirituality .. all Masters were against woman. Buddha denied women His disciples were strictly forbidden to beg from womenand not to look at their face. Sankaracharya with his immense knowledge and spiritual Siddhi wrote " Nari naraka sya dwaram"' Woman is the door to the hell.' He could have written "To indulge in flesh is against spiritual attainment:"<br /><br />Islam denies woman to pray in the Musjid, Christans became more progressive in the later stage but remember in the Bible.. when some people were throwing stones at a woman who committed adultery Jesus, after exposing all the men there forgave the woman and said " Woman, go and do not commit any sin again.' Even he considered it a sin.<br />With Swmai Vivekananda women got liberation in the field of spirituality. he brought them in to this fold He gave them proper value , he was crying fr Indian women,. he was agonised because of this kind of treatment. And with Sri. Aourobindo.. it is immensely improved.<br />But still women suffer, even in this age of liberation. What can we do except bringing awareness as you are doing now with your involvement and good articles?Mamata Dashhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1104712343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34294300.post-38031527132971813802009-06-27T02:10:17.248-07:002009-06-27T02:10:17.248-07:00I feel Dr Sarojini Sahoo is battling against male ...I feel Dr Sarojini Sahoo is battling against male hegemony by depicting the example of double standard characters of even our dharam gurus.No intellectual will deny to accept the truth of such behaviours . Still there are no fixed ethics for any religious movement. Only dominant society ,say,patriarchal played a role to set out the norms for acceptability for specific spiritual purpose. Really Dr Sarojini is a brave writer to extract the exactness of our culture logically giving the example of Madhavi Das ,the poetess and Sri chaitanaya Mahaprabhu.

What about the mentor or social guru, when he doesn’t control his own sexuality? Often, his activities are glamourised with a divine description rather than being condemned as they would be with a woman.<br />I think misogyny is a critical part of sexism and is always used with religion, culture, and morality, having a double standard, where the same rules have never been applied for masculine subjects.<br />you are write. your article has research ground. are you working any research in oriya literature?डा.संतोष गौड़ राष्ट्रप्रेमीhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543979454501911329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34294300.post-20288836449752825872009-06-26T23:37:23.159-07:002009-06-26T23:37:23.159-07:00Thanks Mr.Baskaran, your kind words made me enthus...Thanks Mr.Baskaran, your kind words made me enthusiastic.Sarojini Sahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356168164108611237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34294300.post-61263879203490966472009-06-26T23:01:29.205-07:002009-06-26T23:01:29.205-07:00"Thy Voice is heard". Your trace of the ..."Thy Voice is heard". Your trace of the playwright of the yester years is thrilling and at the same time it guides people like me to trace the regional values in literature. Devi, the oriyan woman had much to share, perform, portray, and sing to the tunes of freedom and identity to women. You are right in presenting the lesser known or heard playwright of the 16th century and the patient suffering of the women of those years. though it is a story like, it has claimed the readers' attraction towards the message. I believe that your posting of the playwright would open new opening to the budding critics to extend further the faithful contribution of an Indian.Gavarappan Baskaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325538047668907212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34294300.post-32845426097593957512009-06-26T22:52:20.349-07:002009-06-26T22:52:20.349-07:00I am thrilled to go through your scholarship writi...I am thrilled to go through your scholarship writing. Heard of contributions made by women of the classical Indian literature. You have traced the beautiful hidden values of the regional literatures, of course you have quoted the great poetess from tamil Andal, which so many budding critics fail to trace now-a-days. You have evidently pointed out the status of women creative artists who were not allowed to perform openly as of the male counterparts. Even now the women hide themselves or pushed behind the screens perform equal to those of men both in quality and content. I believe that the attempts taken by you would definitely open the new vistas to future women writers to register their thinking and confidence to the global reading public.Gavarappan Baskarannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34294300.post-66587379654710931432009-06-26T13:10:58.337-07:002009-06-26T13:10:58.337-07:00Misogyny has been derived from two Greek words (mi...Misogyny has been derived from two Greek words (misos ‘hatred’ + gune ‘woman’)which means hatred towards women.I am not agreed to the argument that Madhavi Dasi was a victim of Chaityanya Dev's misogyny, or Chaityanya Dev was a misogynist at all for that matter. His cult was primarily conceiving God as a woman, it may be mother or wife. So we cant say that he had hatred for women in his heart. <br />Madhavi Dasi however was surely a victim of the patriarchal norms of the society. I dont find time to have played any role either, as our society is still patriarchal in its judgment and ideas. Women were considered as the possession of men, so a property could not possibly have an identity , nor a freedom of choice..so may it be culture, religion or modernity, women were and continue to be victims of the male chauvinistic patterns.She was no doubt a solitary traveler in a different bridge which was so close to her heart. I could realize how measurable she would have felt when being punished for her own personal relationships.But, then I think things have not moved far for us after hundreds of years even. Today also we have a different code of conduct for women for every aspect of life, no doubt, they are denigrating, offensive and much stricter than the rules meant for men. More so, in rituals and everyday practice..We celebrate marriages where we lose our identities and have to shed up everything which were a part of our early life of 20-25 years, the dress code gets changed, the ways of interaction, our orientations...everything..Has our patriarchal and feudalistic society changed a lot for today's women? Are n't we still victims of patriarchy..? I believe, as a society, we prefer to stand still and stubborn for our women,man made laws, interpreted by men and pronounced by men.. always...the story goes on..Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03496976859829482512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34294300.post-84961398799465882182009-06-26T12:43:01.888-07:002009-06-26T12:43:01.888-07:00This is indeed a good approach to Oriya life.

I agree with you but then again women as a species are monogamous that is we like to be in a single relationship unlike men who can and most often have been observed to be able to maintain relationships with a number of partners at the same time. About the love of a women never being accepted by the society it is the same age old story but each women knows how to respond to it and perhaps MAdhavi Dasi also did it in her own waygopanayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163171786598977891noreply@blogger.com
