The Introduction sets the stage for a study of Guru Nanak’s sensuous poetics by introducing his multidimensional persona: poet-songster-jeweller-prophet-pragmatic philosopher. Guru Nanak’s body-sanctifying (somatophilial) poetic textures resonant with love for the all-inclusive One (theophilia), extending to fellow beings (anthropophilia) and the environment (biophilia). They construct a new paradigm that celebrates all physical phenomena, each passing instant, and everybody. These hymns have the potential to make their way beyond Sikh religious discourses and spaces of worship to their public multisensory reception so new imaginaries and wholistic existentialities can be reproduced in today’s hyperpolarized society. The study draws upon the author’s feminist translation impulse, and a wide range of sources from classical rasa theory to various western studies of aesthetics (Mark Johnson, Hélène Cixous, Richard Shusterman, John Dewey, Plato). The overall approach, framework for the book, and its significance are outlined in the Introduction. Also staged is a Nanakian concert (Prelude): inviting world audiences to attend Guru Nanak’s virtuoso performance.
