Taylor & Francis Hinduism
Book SynopsisThe study of Hinduism is fragmented among many disciplines. Early academic study of Hinduism was overwhelmingly a study of texts, and while a strong philological tradition continues to characterise much work on Hinduism (in particular in Indology), very different materials and questions animate debates among anthropologists, sociologists, historians, philosophers, and others. The result is that Hindu institutions such as temples are understood quite differently by those who focus on their political, economic, religious, or aesthetic dimensions. Valuable contributions are also beginning to appear in emergent fields as diverse as cognitive science and constructive Hindu theology. While many works in these fields are published in Europe or North America, significant work appears in journals and books published in India which remain hard to access elsewhere. The collection is fully indexed and supplemented with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Is This Yoga Concepts Histories and the Complexities of Modern Practice
This book provides a rigorously researched, critically comparative introduction to yoga. Is This Yoga? Concepts, Histories, and the Complexities of Contemporary Practice recognizes the importance of contemporary understandings of yoga and, at the same time, provides historical context and complexity to modern and pre-modern definitions of yogic ideas and practices. Approaching yoga as a vast web of concepts, traditions, social interests, and embodied practices, it raises questions of knowledge, identity, and power across time and space, including the dynamics of East and West. The text is divided into three main sections: thematic concepts; histories; and topics in modern practice.This accessible guide is essential reading for undergraduate students approaching the topic for the first time, as well as yoga teachers, teacher training programs, casual and devoted practitioners, and interested non-practitioners.

Equinox Publishing Ltd Thinking in Āsana: Movement and Philosophy in
Book SynopsisThinking in Asana is an exploration of three popular lineages of modern postural yoga - Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga. The book describes in detail the different styles of yoga practice advocated within the three lineages, and traces the influence of this practice on the corresponding yoga philosophies. While Viniyoga, Iyengar Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga name the yoga of Patanjali as the source of their teachings, the interpretations of Patanjali's system differ significantly between the three lineages. A careful examination suggests that these differences can be accounted for by referring to the differences in the kinds of movement experienced during yoga practice. Linguistic theories of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson provide methodological groundwork for such examination. By deconstructing the experience of movement specific to modern postural yoga practice, and by juxtaposing it to a linguistic analysis of a textual corpus, Thinking in Asana argues that there is a systematic relation between how yoga is practiced and how yoga philosophy is understood. In doing so, the book not only gives a detailed, insightful look at modern postural yoga in practice and theory, but it also emphasises the role of movement in human meaning-making activity.

Archaeopress Light of Devotion: Oil Lamps of Kerala
Book SynopsisLight of Devotion: Oil Lamps of Kerala, an in-depth study of the medieval oil lamps of Kerala and beyond, contributes a new chapter to the history of Indian art. These art objects are primary sources for a broader discussion of the ritual use of Hindu oil lamps, their related and unique cultural history, their motifs, style and subject matter. From an understudied region, they include miniature masterpieces in bronze of figural and mythic representations. Many of the pieces presented are previously unpublished. Hindu traditions and the underlying philosophy of these votive offerings to temple deities represented by the flaming oil lamps will interest those who study history of religions, art history and South Asian studies. The author has included oil lamps found not only in Kerala but also examples discovered in an international array of museums and collections. These lamps and their inscriptions offer a key to unlock the problem of the dating of Keralan bronze sculpture.Table of ContentsList of Figures ; Acknowledgements ; Note on names of towns ; Art of Devotion ; Collections ; Festivals ; Bibliography ; Inscriptions ; Dating difficulties ; Classification ; Names of Some Oil Lamps ; Suspension Lamps ; Stationary Lamps ; Portable Lamps ; Suspension Lamps ; Gaja/elephant-shaped lamps ; Archaeological Museum, Dadigama, Sri Lanka, elephant-shaped oil lamp ; CSMVS, Mumbai, elephant-shaped lamp found at Jogeshvari, Maharashtra ; Thrissur State Museum elephant-shaped oil lamp from Thripunithura, Kerala ; Kuthira Maliga Museum, Thiruvananthapuram, elephant-shaped oil lamp ; Vimana vilakku/ Temple model-shaped lamps ; Gaja Lakshmi ; Mythic Depictions ; Non-mythic suspension lamps ; Stationary Lamps ; Mada vilakku/wall niche lamps ; Vriksha vilakku or Tree-shaped lamps ; Kavara vilakku, branching lamp ; Nila or Kuthu vilakku or stambha ; Lakshmi Deepa/Fortune Lamp ; Kindi, ritual water pot lamp ; Portable Lamps ; Arti/prayer ; Changalavatta ; Vanchi vilakku, boat-shaped processional torch ; Extra Parts ; Conclusion ; Characteristics ; South Indian bronze imagery ; Production features of style ; Iconography ; Dynastic arts ; Bibliography ; Index
