He wrote in three languages (Malayalam, Sanskrit, Tamil), drawing on three different literary conventions. The world of this complex philosophic-religious literature is brought closer to the reader with rare deft and dexterity by the Author who not only retrieves for us the original circumstances, language and poetic metre of each work but also supplies histories of their reception. Thanks to numerous glosses, comments and elucidations supplied by the Author, we can much better understand how Narayana's mystical universe creatively relates to the Tamil \u003ci\u003e aiva Siddhanta\u003c\/i\u003e and to Kerala's variety of \u003ci\u003eVedanta\u003c\/i\u003e tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProf. Cezary Galewicz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhilosophical system of Narayana Guru's devotional hymns - the\u003ci\u003e Linga\u003c\/i\u003e Concept in Narayana Guru's works - \u003ci\u003eKundalini Yoga\u003c\/i\u003e in \u003ci\u003e iva atakam - \u003c\/i\u003eLiberation (\u003ci\u003eMukti \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003eMoksa\u003c\/i\u003e) in philosophical works by Narayana Guru - influence of Tamil and Sanskrit literature on\u003ci\u003e iva atakam - \u003c\/i\u003ephilosophy of \u003ci\u003eTirumandiram\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDr Hanna Urbanska\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor at the University of Wroclaw (Institute of Classics, Mediterranean and Oriental Studies).
