Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine M. Fisher complicates the traditional scholarly narrative of the unification of Hinduism. By calling into question the colonial categories implicit in the term “sectarianism,” Fisher’s work excavates the pluralistic textures of precolonial Hinduism in the centuries prior to British intervention. Drawing on previously unpublished sources in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu, Fisher argues that the performance of plural religious identities in public space in Indian early modernity paved the way for the emergence of a distinctively non-Western form of religious pluralism. This work provides a critical resource for understanding how Hinduism developed in the early modern period, a crucial era that set the tenor for religion's role in public life in India through the present day.

Download or read book Hinduism and Buddhism (Vol. 1-3) written by Charles Eliot and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Eliot's monumental work, 'Hinduism and Buddhism (Vol. 1-3)', is a comprehensive exploration of Eastern spiritual traditions. Through detailed analysis and precise scholarship, Eliot delves into the historical, philosophical, and cultural aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism, providing readers with a deep understanding of these ancient belief systems. His writing is clear and concise, making complex ideas accessible to a wide audience. The book is a valuable resource for students of religion and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and culture. Eliot's meticulous research and insightful commentary offer a nuanced perspective on the evolution and significance of Hinduism and Buddhism in the global context. This seminal work remains a foundational text in the study of Eastern religions. Charles Eliot, a renowned scholar and diplomat, drew on his extensive knowledge of Asian cultures and languages to write 'Hinduism and Buddhism'. His experiences living in Asia and interacting with practitioners of these faiths informed his nuanced understanding of their teachings and practices. Eliot's background as a colonial administrator in India lent him a unique perspective on the intersections between Eastern spirituality and Western imperialism. I recommend 'Hinduism and Buddhism (Vol. 1-3)' to readers seeking a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Eastern religions. Eliot's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this work a must-read for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Hinduism, Buddhism, and the broader spiritual traditions of Asia.

Download or read book The Regulation of Religion and the Making of Hinduism in Colonial Trinidad written by Alexander Rocklin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can religious freedom be granted to people who do not have a religion? While Indian indentured workers in colonial Trinidad practiced cherished rituals, "Hinduism" was not a widespread category in India at the time. On this Caribbean island, people of South Asian descent and African descent came together--under the watchful eyes of the British rulers--to walk on hot coals for fierce goddesses, summon spirits of the dead, or honor Muslim martyrs, practices that challenged colonial norms for religion and race. Drawing deeply on colonial archives, Alexander Rocklin examines the role of the category of religion in the regulation of the lives of Indian laborers struggling for autonomy. Gradually, Indians learned to narrate the origins, similarities, and differences among their fellows' cosmological views, and to define Hindus, Muslims, and Christians as distinct groups. Their goal in doing this work of subaltern comparative religion, as Rocklin puts it, was to avoid criminalization and to have their rituals authorized as legitimate religion--they wanted nothing less than to gain access to the British promise of religious freedom. With the indenture system's end, the culmination of this politics of recognition was the gradual transformation of Hindus' rituals and the reorganization of their lives--they fabricated a "world religion" called Hinduism.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Hinduism written by Denise Cush and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 1130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Hinduism contains over 900 entries reflecting recent advances in scholarship which have raised new theoretical and methodological issues as well as identifying new areas of study which have not been addressed previously. The debate over the term 'Hinduism' in the light of post-Orientalist critiques is just one example of how once standard academic frameworks have been called into question. Entries range from 150-word definitions of terms and concepts to 5,000-word in-depth investigations of major topics. The Encyclopedia covers all aspects of Hinduism but departs from other works in including more ethnographic and contemporary material in contrast to an exclusively textual and historical approach. It includes a broad range of subject matter such as: historical developments (among them nineteenth and twentieth century reform and revival); geographical distribution (especially the diaspora); major and minor movements; philosophies and theologies; scriptures; deities; temples and sacred sites; pilgrimages; festivals; rites of passage; worship; religious arts (sculpture, architecture, music, dance, etc.); religious sciences (e.g. astrology); biographies of leading figures; local and regional traditions; caste and untouchability; feminism and women's religion; nationalism and the Hindu radical right; and new religious movements. The history of study and the role of important scholars past and present are also discussed. Accessibility to all levels of reader has been a priority and no previous knowledge is assumed. However, the in-depth larger entries and the design of the work in line with the latest scholarly advances means that the volume will be of considerable interest to specialists. The whole is cross-referenced and bibliographies attach to the larger entries. There is a full index.
