AB The following reflections are essentially cross-cultural and autobiographical. They have arisen from my search as a woman to discover and develop my relationship with truth/God. This has been an important part of my search to become a creative artist/person. There aretwo main parts. The first focuses on the place given to feminine imagery and experience in Sri Vaisnavism, It reflects on the way that Nammalvar! as a man has creatively entered into the feminine experience. It shows how art and ritual can be a powerful means for transforming and broadening the mind and imagination. The second part explores masculine imagery in the JUdaic Story of Exodus, and how based on the example of Namrnalvar, a woman could imaginatively relate to this symbolism.
