In my opinion Shakuntala Hawoldar is a poet and a great poet. Imbued with a sincerity that rises like a fountain of water and falling into flames. The heart expands. It becomes light and fire. The woman’s heart is revealed, totally naked, in her poems. But a heart that wants to transfigure. Hers is the search for the Absolute.
 
– Malcolm de Chazal, acclaimed Mauritian writer and poet, in Advance newspaper
 
Work of a rare genius: rare because non-alcoholic and sober, un-subjected to the tragic trickery of life and cheerful... A fascinating and intriguing balance of the Male and the Female. The latter enables clarity of vision and easy and pellucid flow of mysticism.
