By whom was it contained? What was in those thick depths of darkness? When death was not, nor immortality, When night was not separate from day, Then That vibrated motionless, one with Its own glory, And beside That, nothing else existed. When darkness was hidden in darkness, Undistinguished, like one mass of water, Then did That which was covered with darkness Manifest Its glory by heat. Now first arose Desire, the primal seed of mind, [The sages have seen all this in their hearts, Separating existence from non-existence.] Its rays spread above, around, and below, The glory became creative. The Self, sustained as Cause below, Projected, as Effect, above. Who then understood? Who then declared How came into being this Projected? Lo, in its wake followed even the Gods, Who can say, therefore, whence It came? Whence arose this projected, and whether sustained or not, He alone, O Beloved, who is its Ruler in the highest heaven knoweth, Nay, it may be that even He knoweth it not! Rig.

This book examines the varied influences and accomplishments of the Indian Ladies’ Magazine, the first Indian magazine established and edited by an Indian woman—Kamala Satthianadhan—in English, written by women, for women. Influences include Victorian, Edwardian, and Modern literature and culture as well as traditional Indian literature and culture during the late colonial, pre-independence period. More than a literary journal, this publication also addressed social reforms, from “ladies’ philanthropy” to “women’s mission to women”; the emergence of Indian “identity politics” in response to the nationalist and independence movements; the Indian Woman Question in the context of female education debates and shifting concepts of “womanliness”; cultural exchanges recorded by Indian travelers to America; and the emergence of Indian nationalism, between World Wars I and II, leading to independence. This publication recorded and participated in the most pivotal moment in modern Indian history and did so by appealing to both the conservative and progressive socio-political urges marking the era.
