Book Synopsis Seeking Mahādevī by : Tracy Pintchman
Download or read book Seeking Mahādevī written by Tracy Pintchman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2001-06-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Hindus recognize and revere a variety of different goddesses, they also tend to speak of one Great Goddess, Mahadevi, as a singular divine being who is the unity underlying all female deities. In this book, ten scholars reflect on both the diverse depictions of Mahadevi found in textual and devotional environments and the ways that the singularity and multiplicity of the divine Hindu feminine are negotiated. Seeking Mahadevicovers various geographical locations, from the Punjab and Bengal in North India to Kerala and Tamilnadu in the South, and makes use of evidence from ancient texts and contemporary interviews, male-authored documents and women's possession experiences, myth, ritual, and folklore. Arguing that Mahadevi has multiple, context-dependent identities that are constructed through human interpretive activity, this book highlights the great diversity of ways that those who worship Mahadevi conceive of and portray her. Contributors include C. Mackenzie Brown, Sarah Caldwell, Thomas Coburn, Elaine Craddock, Kathleen M. Erndl, Jeffrey J. Kripal, Usha Menon, Tracy Pintchman, Andhra Pradesh, and Mark Edwin Rohe.

Book Synopsis Blood In The Sea: The Dark History Of Hindu Oppression In Goa by : Dr Vinay Nalwa
Download or read book Blood In The Sea: The Dark History Of Hindu Oppression In Goa written by Dr Vinay Nalwa and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goa transcends its image as a mere its surface lies a history steeped in bloodshed and brutality, often conveniently brushed aside due to the discomfort it elicits. This book unveils these concealed truths, revealing a historical identity of Goa rooted in Sanatan Dharma -the authentic essence of the region. Tracing back thousands of years, the chronicle unfolds the relentless suppression of this identity by Islamic and Christian invaders., the book illuminates a seldom-addressed yet crucial topic-the deliberate and systematic persecution of Hindus, the original inhabitants of Goa, which remains under-discussed even after the liberation of Goa in 1961 from colonial rule.

Download or read book Devī written by John Stratton Hawley and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have severely limited the portrayal of the divine as feminine. But in Hinduism "God" very often means "Goddess." This extraordinary collection explores twelve different Hindu goddesses, all of whom are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. They range from the liquid goddess-energy of the River Ganges to the possessing, entrancing heat of Bhagavati and Seranvali. They are local, like Vindhyavasini, and global, like Kali; ancient, like Saranyu, and modern, like "Mother India." The collection combines analysis of texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these compelling essays, the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before--fascinating, contradictory, powerful.

Book Synopsis The Body in Asia by : Bryan S. Turner
Download or read book The Body in Asia written by Bryan S. Turner and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few decades have seen growing interest in the study of the body. However, the increasing number of exciting and influential publications has primarily, if not exclusively, focused on the body in Western cultures. The various works produced by Asian scholars remain largely unknown to Western academic debates even though Asia is home to a host of rich body cultures and religions. The peoples of Asia have experienced colonization, decolonization, and now globalization, all of which make the ‘body in Asia’ a rewarding field of research. This unique volume brings together a number of scholars who work on East, Southeast and South Asia and presents original and cutting edge research on the body in various Asian cultures.
