Dalit Journeys For Dignity - Religion, Freedom, And Caste

~~50,28€~~ 45,25€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Examines the challenges and opportunities faced by Dalits in modern India.The past decade has seen a surge in Dalit studies, offering key theoretical insights into the study of marginalized groups. This collection of essays focuses on Dalit struggles for dignity in India, highlighting the search for religious alternatives and the rejection of caste-Hinduism as the first step towards self-respect. These explorations for self-worth covered everyday secular life as well. The introduction argues that these struggles played a seminal role in informing B. R. Ambedkar''s ideas, including his insistence on the inclusion of "dignity" in the Indian Constitution. It looks at his concept of "moral stamina," emphasizing ethical commitment to democratic practices, and of the "social," offering innovative approaches to studying the connected histories of caste and the making of modern India.The essays that follow examine the challenges and opportunities faced by Dalits in modern India. Several explore the distinct trajectories of Dalit groups in their search for religious dignity. They reveal that conversion to Christianity, as well as reinterpretations of indigenous religious traditions—such as Buddhism and the Sant-mat religion associated with Raidas and Kabir—have helped to reconstitute untouchable selfhood. Other essays probe the struggle against caste by analyzing changes in sartorial choices, secular work, historical interpretation, and views of domestic space. Drawing from literary and archival sources as well as ethnographical fieldwork, this collection illustrates the connected histories of religion, politics, literature, and history.

Hindi Hindu Histories - Caste, Ayurveda, Travel, And Communism In Early-Twentieth-Century India

de Charu Gupta

~~51,61€~~ 46,45€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Explores how four public intellectuals in North India imagined freedom and Hindi-Hindu nationhood through their writings on caste, Ayurveda, travel, and communism.What did everyday Hinduism in India look like a hundred years ago? Were its practices more varied and less politically curtailed than now? Hindi Hindu Histories provides illuminating historical accounts of Hindu life through individual actors, autobiographical narratives, and genres in the Hindi print-public culture of early twentieth-century North India. It focuses on four fascinating figures: a successful woman doctor in the Indigenous medical regime, a globe-trotting Hindu ascetic who opposed Gandhi, an anticaste campaigner who spoke for sexual equality, and a Hindu communist who envisioned an egalitarian utopia in the world of labor. These public intellectuals harbored vernacular dreams of freedom and Hindi-Hindu nationhood through their vantage points of caste, Ayurveda, travel, and communism. Opening up a vast and under-explored Hindi archive, this book presents a dynamic spectacle of a plural Hindi-Hindu universe of facets that coexisted, challenged each other, and comprised an idea of Hinduness far more inclusive than anything conceivable in the present moment.

Behind Krsna'S Smile - The Lord’S Hint Of Laughter In The Bhagavadgita And Beyond

de Antonio Rigopoulos e Gianni Pellegrini

~~48,96€~~ 44,06€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Examines Ka''s hint of laughter (prahasann iva) in the Bhagavadgt, its interpretations in the Vednta commentarial tradition, and its significance in Kaite iconography and literature.Behind Ka''s Smile offers a wholly original perspective on the celebrated Bhagavadgt, or "Song of God." The book investigates Ka''s hint of laughter (prahasann iva) in Bhagavadgt 2.10, which is generally understood to be the turning point of the famous poem, signaling the outpouring of his grace and teaching to Arjuna. Remarkably, it is from this verse that akara and other leading theologians begin to write their commentaries. In addition to exploring the momentousness of Ka''s hint of laughter and its impact on the poem''s central teachings, Behind Ka''s Smile provides a crucial interpretation of Ka''s prahasann iva in the Vednta commentarial tradition, from akara up to modern times. The book also considers the meanings of the stock phrase prahasann iva in the larger epic framework of the Mahbhrata and Rmyaa. Moreover, the book offers the first comprehensive review of the significance of Ka''s smile in Kaite iconography and literature, demonstrating that there is a unified canon bringing together the literary and performative dimensions of Ka’s hint of laughter.

Samkhya System - Accounting For The Real

~~48,96€~~ 44,06€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Explores the Skhya system and the delicate relationship it articulates between witness consciousness (Purua) and manifest realities (Prakti), providing a path to freedom through knowledge.The Skhya System brings new life to an ancient Hindu system of thought. Skhya spans the fields of philosophy, physics, metaphysics, psychology, and ethics. Although notably not theological, its key premises can be found in virtually all religious traditions that originate from India. Skhya espouses a reciprocity between Prakti, the realm of activity, and Purua, the silent witness. It also delineates the phenomenal experiences that arise from Prakti, including the operations of the human body, the five great elements, and the eight mental states. Skhya proclaims that knowledge of world and self can lead to freedom.This book presents a new translation of varaka''s Skhya Krik, with grammatical analysis. It includes interpretive essays that explore the philosophical aspects of the Skhya system by Geoffrey Ashton, Ana Funes Maderey, Mikel Burley, Christopher Key Chapple, and Srivatsa Ramaswami, as well as its sociological and psychological applications as delineated by Marzenna Jakubczak, McKim Marriott, and Alfred Collins.

Nine Nights Of Power - Durga, Dolls, And Darbars

51,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Explores the rich diversity of narratives, rituals, and participants connected with one of the most important celebrations for Hindus in South Asia and in the diaspora.The autumnal Navartri festival-also called Durg Pj, Dassehra, or Dasain-is the most important Hindu festival in South Asia and wherever Hindus settle. A nine-night-long celebration in honor of the goddess Durg, it ends on the tenth day with a celebration called "the victorious tenth" (vijayadaam). The rituals that take place in domestic, royal, and public spaces are closely connected with one''s station in life and dependent on social status, economic class, caste, and gender issues. Exploring different aspects of the festival as celebrated in diverse regions of South Asia and in the South Asian diaspora, this book addresses the following common questions: What does this festival do? What does it achieve, and how? Why and in what way does it sometimes fail? How do mass communication and social media increase participation in and contribute to the changing nature of the festival? The contributors address these questions from multiple perspectives and discuss issues of agency, authority, ritual efficacy, change, appropriation, and adaptation. Because of the festival''s reach beyond its diverse celebrations in South Asia, its influence can be seen in the rituals and dances in many parts of Western Europe and North America.

Science Of Satyug - Class, Charisma, And Vedic Revivalism In The All World Gayatri Pariwar

de Daniel Heifetz

47,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The first in-depth study of the All World Gayatri Pariwar, a modern Indian religious movement.The All World Gayatri Pariwar is a modern religious movement that enjoys wide popularity in North India, particularly among the many STEM workers who joined after becoming disillusioned with their lucrative but unfulfilling private-sector careers. Founded in the mid-twentieth century, the Gayatri Pariwar works to popularize practices inspired by ancient religious texts and breaks with convention by framing these practices as the foundation of a universal spirituality. The movement appeals to science in its advocacy of these practices, claiming that they have medical benefits that constitute proof that rational people around the world should find persuasive. Should these practices become sufficiently widespread, the belief is that humanity will enter a new satyug, or "golden age."In The Science of Satyug, Daniel Heifetz focuses on how religion and science are objects of intense emotion that help to constitute identities. Weaving engaging ethnographic anecdotes together with readings of Gayatri Pariwar literature, Heifetz interprets this material in light of classic and contemporary theory. The result is a significant contribution to current conversations about the globalized middle classes and the entanglement of religion and science that will appeal to anyone interested in understanding these aspects of life in modern India.

Many Mahabharatas

52,93€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A major contribution to the study of South Asian literature, offering a landmark view of Mahbhrata studies.Many Mahbhratas is an introduction to the spectacular and long-lived diversity of Mahbhrata literature in South Asia. This diversity begins with the Sanskrit Mahbhrata, an early epic poem that narrates the events of a catastrophic fratricidal war. Along the way, it draws in nearly everything else in Hindu mythology, philosophy, and story literature. The magnitude of its scope and the relentless complexity of its worldview primed the Mahbhrata for uncountable tellings in South Asia and beyond. For two thousand years, the instinctive approach to the Mahbhrata has been not to consume it but to create it anew.The many Mahbhratas of this book come from the first century to the twenty-first. They are composed in nine different languages-Apabhramsha, Bengali, English, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu. Early chapters illuminate themes of retelling within the Sanskrit Mahbhrata itself, demonstrating that the story''s propensity for regeneration emerges from within. The majority of the book, however, reaches far beyond the Sanskrit epic. Readers dive into classical dramas, premodern vernacular poems, regional performance traditions, commentaries, graphic novels, political essays, novels, and contemporary theater productions-all of them Mahbhratas.Because of its historical and linguistic breadth, its commitment to primary sources, and its exploration of multiplicity and diversity as essential features of the Mahbhrata''s long life in South Asia, Many Mahbhratas constitutes a major contribution to the study of South Asian literature and offers a landmark view of the field of Mahbhrata studies.
