DrMatthew Isaac Enjoyed reading the interview! Although Dr. Mathew’s mysticism seems to have some similarities to the mysticism of other mystic poets in the East and the West, his unique poetic genius, attitude, temper, and style all set him apart from the others. Mathew’s belief and his theology are deeply rooted in the Christian traditions in spite of the fact that he seemed to be culturally oriented in the Eastern philosophical and mystical traditions of the greatest poet Kabir. Like Kabir, the allegorical overtones of Mathew’s mystical poems too suggest that “moksha,” or in a quite Christian tradition “salvation,” is possible with the purity of the soul that gets in communion with the God. In Mathew’s belief system that God is his redeeming savior Jesus Christ as he has expressed through his many poems. This theology is passionately and metaphorically expressed in a Biblical context of the Christian religion in his poems, which greatly appeals to the heart than the intellect. The Christian philosophical doctrines, assumptions, and constructions in his poems distinguish him profoundly from the other mystical poets and set him apart from Rumi and Kabir. Because of these distinct theological differences of his mysticism, I consider Dr. K. K. Mathew as one of the greatest Christian mystic poets of modern times.

 

I am a literary critic of Drkk Mathew. I have spent hundred of hours studying four of his anthologies and wrote critical analyses because of my interest in his works. I wish him the very best!

 

I am: Matthew K. Isaac, Ph.D., author of the widely acclaimed English novel, Touched by Redeeming Love, and retired Associate Vice Chancellor, California, USA., November 15, 2019.

 

 

Poet Bala Really amazed and learnt a lot from the optimistically unique review conducted by distinguished Bipul Kalita sir with a great personality Dr kk Mathew sir. On reading his divine service to the people as doctor made me understand the presence of God in the hearts of the good people. His artistic service to Indian Literature was amazing and he has given a lot to the future generation and as youngsters we need to learn the gem of words, ideas, themes and everything presented in his works. It's a very good life lesson for the all the writers. Though we reach great heights in life, we should understand the magic of God in it as our Mathew sir said. Without the help of God nothing will move.. awesome.. I thank our poemarium for honoring a wonderful human being. Congratulations to honourables Drkk Mathew sir, Bipul Kalita sir, Dasharath Naik sir, Bobita Saikia ma'am and special thanks to distinguished Nk Sharma sir for providing us this interview session.
