Embodied Consciousness and Yogic Philosophy in Indian English Women’s Poetry

Author(s) Mr. Mrigen Mondal
Country India
Abstract This study is going to investigate the intricate relationship between embodied consciousness and yogic philosophical traditions in Indian English women’s poetry. It seeks to demonstrate how women poets writing in English from the Indian context engaged deeply with indigenous epistemologies to articulate a nuanced understanding of the body as both a material and metaphysical entity. Drawing on the works of Kamala Das, Eunice de Souza, Arundhati Subramaniam, Meena Alexander, and Rukmini Bhayia Nayar, this paper examines how poetic expression mirrors yogic principles, including mind- body integration, meditative introspection, and holistic self- realization. Moving beyond reductive binaries such as body versus mind or material versus spiritual, these poets conceptualize embodiment as a dynamite site of self- awareness, resistance, and transcendence. By analysing corporeal imagery, cognitive reflection, and linguistic strategies, the study demonstrates that Indian English women poets negotiate personal, social, and spiritual identity through poetry. This interdisciplinary approach highlights the philosophical depth of their work, situating it at the nexus of literary, feminist, and philosophical studies.
