Book Summary
About the Book: From Possession to Freedom: The Journey of NiliNilakeci
The Tamil text Nilakeci, dated around the 5th century CE (debated), is an
unusual literary creation. It retrieves a violent, vengeful pey (female
possessing spirit) of Palayanur, transforming her into a Jaina philosopher. It
was a profoundly subversive idea of its time, using the female persona and voice
(for a hitherto disembodied being) to debate with preceptors of different
schools of thought/religions of the time, all male, barring the Buddhist nun,
Ku??alakeci. Nilakecis debates focus on questions of non-violence, existence of
the soul, authorship and caste, among others.
