Hinduism: sacred texts and revered writings Books
Hays (Nicolas) Ltd ,U.S. Svetasvataropanisad
Book SynopsisThe Svetasvataropanisad is considered to be the most beautiful of all the Upanisads, the philosophical texts of the Hindu religion. In this new translation, Devadatta Kali takes a fresh look and works from a new premise that the Svetasvatara represents a Saivite (one of the Hindu sects) point of view and works from this in his translation and commentary to allow its intended meaning to shine forth. The translation and commentary brings to life the seer Svetasvatara, who from time to time delights in provocation and word play, allowing the reader to share the joy of his liberated vision that all this world is an expression of the Divine. This translation aims to capture the seer''s ecstatic response to the wonders of creation while pointing the reader towards the even greater wonder of its source. Devadata Kali''s purpose in his translation and the commentary is to convey the vibrant immediacy of the Sanskrit original and strip away many centuries of exegetical accretions in order to ma

Cambridge University Press An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hindu Theology
Book SynopsisAn Introduction to Swaminarayan Hindu Theology provides a comprehensive doctrinal account of the Swaminarayan tradition's belief system, drawing on its rich corpus of theological literature, including the teachings of Swaminarayan himself and classical commentaries on canonical Vedantic texts.Trade Review'[This] is a ground-breaking book that will be widely appreciated by scholars and believers in India and the West. It is a welcome addition to the growing field of Swaminarayan studies, distinguished by its clear focus on the teachings of the tradition, with close attention to philosophical and theological foundations. Written by an erudite insider and practitioner, it is an excellent example of Hindu theology, as Swami Paramtattvadas speaks with the authority of his experience, practice, and with the benefit of many years of traditional learning. The book exemplifies constructive religious thinking, as he points to areas where new thinking is required, to understand ever more deeply the mysteries of God and scripture, the human and the world, as the tradition grows globally. This work will be prized by members of the Swaminarayan community, by scholars interested in contemporary Hinduism and in the self-representation of faith traditions with an increasing global presence, and by theologians of all faiths committed to the global interreligious conversation.' Francis X. Clooney, Director, Center for the Study of World Religions, Harvard University, Massachusetts'Swaminarayan Hinduism is rapidly becoming the most prominent form of Hinduism in many countries. This constructive presentation of Swaminarayan theology is an essential text for Swaminarayan and Hindu studies and a valuable resource for comparative theology and interreligious dialogue. Swaminarayan developed a theology, an ethical discipline and a reform movement in a time of rapid social and political change in the early nineteenth century that continues to inspire and guide Hindu followers in the twenty-first century. Contemporary migration movements expand his influence across strong transnational networks and through social media in cyberspace, making this book even more relevant in helping us understand what this dynamic global community believes. Swami Paramtattvadas' Western education at Oxford and classical Hindu studies in India enable him to present this important Hindu theology with academic rigor, depth and clarity. His introduction is an accessible and major contribution to the study of modern Hinduism.' Raymond Brady Williams, Wabash College, Indiana, author of An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hinduism'In this welcome introduction to Swaminarayan Hindu theology, Swami Paramtattvadas has succeeded in presenting the fundamental beliefs of his tradition in a lucid, meticulous and methodical exposition. This book, while standing within Swaminarayan Hinduism, seeks to engage with a broader, rational discourse and to stimulate discussion beyond the bounds of Hindu communities. The writing of this book has been a large scholarly task, aiming to systematise key themes from an extensive network of the tradition's authoritative texts in Gujarati and Sanskrit. As such it is an important contribution to theology and religion and, to my knowledge, is the first Hindu systematic theology written in English. It is also a welcome contribution to Hindu theology and to the emerging discussion of comparative theology. I am sure it will find a wide readership among both the academic and Hindu communities.' Gavin Flood, Senior Research Fellow, Campion Hall, University of Oxford and Visiting Yap Kim Hao Professor of Comparative Religious Studies, Yale-NUS, Singapore'This book provides a brilliant introduction to the theology of the Swaminarayan tradition, one of the most dynamic and visible forms of Hinduism in India and abroad. It comprehensively narrates the key doctrines and beliefs of the tradition drawing on canonical Hindu texts, original teachings of the tradition's founder, and exegetical works of other teachers of the tradition. After delineating the sources for his research, the author intelligibly expounds upon the five central entities of the tradition. It also opens vistas of mutual understanding and comparative studies with other religious traditions. The book stands as an essential tool for understanding the belief system of this vibrant Hindu tradition.' Diwakar Acharya, Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics, University of Oxford'In this engagingly written book, Swami Paramtattvadas looks at the complex ways in which the Swaminarayan tradition interpreted the critical and hallowed terminology of Vedānta, thereby developing its own unique system from the early modern period onwards. At the same time, by approaching the thought of the tradition from within, he also raises interesting questions about the relationship between the categories of theology, metaphysics, the philosophy of religion, and the practices of Hindu devotion. This book does an excellent job of bringing the Swaminarayan tradition into conversation not only with English-language studies of modern Vedānta, but with comparative theology more generally.' Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad FBA, Lancaster University'This monograph by Swami Paramtattvadas fills a longstanding need for a detailed and systematic exposition of the theology of the Swaminarayan tradition. It makes accessible the fundamental theological assumptions and claims of the tradition, while contextualizing and discussing these within the rich diversity of Hindu intellectual thought. The author brings to his exposition both the depth of traditional learning and practice as well as the tools of contemporary Western scholarship. This is an excellent contribution to the field of Hindu theology exemplifying the creativity of commitment and critical inquiry. It is a valuable resource for understanding and engaging with one of India's most visible and rapidly growing global religious traditions.' Anantanand Rambachan, Saint Olaf College, Minnesota'An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hindu Theology is a ground-breaking work which provides a comprehensive theological overview of the belief system of the Swaminarayan tradition, one of the fastest growing and most visible Hindu groups in India and in the West. The book indicates the author's deep immersion in traditional Hindu styles of theological reasoning and also his ability to situate the themes of God, humanity and the world within the wider frames of 'Hindu theology' and 'comparative theology'.' Ankur Barua, University of Cambridge'A key marker of a religious tradition's health is its ability to articulate, renew and reapply its doctrines and scriptures for each succeeding generation. This is the work of theology. There is still a great dearth of Hindu theological writing in English that takes into account our global, interreligious context. Not only does this book offer a superb example of such writing within the Swaminarayan tradition, it also issues a call for others to join the conversation and grow the field of Hindu theology. An Introduction to Swaminarayan Hindu Theology provides a thorough, balanced and incisive analysis of the tradition's key sources, doctrines and practices, written in a clear and accessible style. I commend Swami Paramtattvadas on this signature achievement.' Ravi Gupta, Charles Redd Chair of Religious Studies, Utah State UniversityTable of ContentsForeword Gavin Flood; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Caitanya Vaisnava Philosophy
Book SynopsisIn the sixteenth century, the saint and scholar Sri Caitanya set in motion a wave of devotion to Krishna that began in eastern India and has now found its way around the world. Caitanya taught that the highest aim of life is to develop selfless love for God Krishna, the blue-hued cowherd boy who spoke the Bhagavad Gita. Although only a handful of poetry is attributed to Caitanya, his devotional theology was expounded and systematized by his followers in a vast array of poetical, philosophical, and ritual literature. This book provides a thematic study of Caitanya Vaishnava philosophy, introducing key thinkers and ideas in the early tradition, using Sanskrit and Bengali sources that have seldom been studied in English. The book addresses major areas of the tradition, including epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, ethics, and history, and every chapter includes relevant readings from primary sources.Table of ContentsIntroduction, Kenneth R.Valpey; Chapter 1 Reading, Kenneth R.Valpey; Chapter 2 Epistemology and Ontology, Ravi M.Gupta; Chapter 3 Reading, KiyokazuOkita; Chapter 4 Epistemology and Ontology II, KiyokazuOkita; Chapter 5 Reading, Ravi M.Gupta; Chapter 6 Ethics and Practice, Joseph T.O’Connell; Chapter 7 Reading, Graham M.Schweig; Chapter 8 Aesthetics, RembertLutjeharms; Chapter 9 Reading, RembertLutjeharms;

State University of New York Press Hidden Lives of Brahman The Sankaras Vedanta
Book SynopsisUses both textual and ethnographic sources to demonstrate that in Sa?kara's vedanta, brahman is an active force as well as a transcendent ultimate. Finalist for the 2014 Best First Book in the History of Religions presented by the American Academy of ReligionSa?kara's thought, advaita vedanta or non-dual vedanta, is a tradition focused on brahman, the ultimate reality transcending all particular manifestations, words, and ideas. It is generally considered that the transcendent brahman cannot be attained through any effort or activity. While this conception is technically correct, in The Hidden Lives of Brahman, Joël André-Michel Dubois contends that it is misleading. Hidden lives of brahman become visible when analysis of Sa?kara's seminal commentaries is combined with ethnographic descriptions of contemporary Brahmin students and teachers of vedanta, a group largely ignored in most studies of this tradition. Du bois demonstrates that for Sa?kara, as for Brahmin tradition in general, brahman is just as much an active force, fully connected to the dynamic power of words and imagination, as it is a transcendent ultimate.

Lexington Books Three Pillars of Skepticism in Classical India
Book SynopsisBeginning with the earliest strata of Indian philosophy, this book uncovers a distinct tradition of skepticism in Indian philosophy through a study of the three pillars of Indian skepticism near the beginning, middle, and end of the classical era: Nagarjuna (c. 150-200 CE), Jayarasi (c. 770-830 CE), and Sri Har?a (c. 1125-1180 CE). Moving beyond the traditional school model of understanding the history of Indian philosophy, this book argues that the philosophical history of India contains a tradition of skepticism about philosophy represented most clearly by three figures coming from different schools but utilizing similar methods: Nagarjuna, Jayarasi, and Sri Har?a. This book argues that there is a category of skepticism often overlooked by philosophers today: skepticism about philosophy, varieties of which are found not only in classical India but also in the Western tradition in Pyrrhonian skepticism. Skepticism about philosophy consists of intellectual therapies for those afflicTrade ReviewEthan Mills has written a lovely book on Indian skepticism. It shows that skepticism is not merely a Greek phenomenon, but enjoys a long history in India. This book addresses skepticism both in the orthodox and Buddhist traditions, and enriches our understanding of the interaction between those traditions and the development of philosophical dialectics in India. The account is erudite, nuanced, full of good translation and exposition. It is philosophically sophisticated, and easy to read. Anyone interested in skepticism or in Indian philosophy should read it. -- Jay Garfield, Smith CollegeThis book offers thought-provoking interpretations of three major figures in Indian thought. With technical precision, careful translation, and most notably, insightful comparisons with Western discussions, Mills makes an impressive and persuasive case for 'expanding the history of philosophical skepticism', and leads us to think afresh about the purposes and limits of doing philosophy today. -- Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad, Lancaster UniversityEthan Mills makes a strong case for the skeptical positions of Nāgārjuna, Jayarāśi and Śrī Harṣa, which according to him should be appreciated as forms of "skepticism about philosophy" rather than epistemological skepticism. This is something any lover of philosophy should take seriously. -- Pradeep Gokhale, Savitribai Phule Pune UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction: Classical Indian Skepticism about Philosophy: Expanding the History of Philosophical Skepticism Chapter 1: Skeptical Roots in Early Indian Philosophy: Ṛg Veda, Upaniṣads, and Early Buddhist Texts Chapter 2: Nāgārjuna’s Buddhist Skepticism: From Emptiness to the Pacification of Conceptual Proliferation Chapter 3: Nāgārjuna and the Cause of Skepticism Chapter 4: Jayarāśi’s Cārvāka Skepticism: Irreligious Skepticism about Philosophy Chapter 5: Jayarāśi and the Delightful Destruction of Buddhist Epistemology Chapter 6: Śrī Harṣa’s Advaita Skepticism: The Critique of Realism and the Possibility of Mysticism Chapter 7: Śrī Harṣa on Knowledge, Existence, and the Limits of Philosophy Conclusion: The History of Indian Skepticism and Mitigated Skepticism about Philosophy

Rowman & Littlefield Valmiki's Uttara Kanda: The Book of Answers
Book SynopsisThe last and most intriguing book of the Ramayana, the Uttara Kanda is rendered here by noted Sanskrit scholar Arshia Sattar in vivid, sensuous detail. First composed around 500 BCE, it tells the story of an unjustly exiled prince, the abduction of his wife from the forest by a ten-headed demon king, his alliance with a band of magical monkeys, and the internal and external battles he must fight to win back his wife and keep her. India’s great Sanskrit epic brings to readers the classic dilemmas every individual faces: love versus duty, destiny and free will, the public and the private self, the pull of family, and the right to personal happiness. These universal problems are layered with the quintessentially Indian ideas of karma (action) and dharma (duty).The book explores what it means to be human in a complex and demanding world, considering the parameters and contexts in which we make the decisions that will determine the color and tenor of our lives, the choices that make us who we are. It also offers a great, albeit tragic, love story—a story of the demands and pressures of love and how we might fail those that we love most. Accompanied by Sattar’s thoughtful essays weighing the moral complexity of this most enduring of epics, this translation crystallizes her deep and intimate knowledge of the Ramayana in a way that is utterly compelling.Trade ReviewBoth a terrific read and a revolutionary contribution to our understanding of the Valmiki Ramayana—and of the many Ramayanas that followed. The translation is smooth, spirited, and accurate, and the seven essays brilliantly illuminate the text. Together they show why this largely unknown final book of the Ramayana is the answer to many of the enigmas in the rest of the text and the explanation of much of the worship of Rama that is to come. -- Wendy Doniger, University of ChicagoNo one has written with greater empathy about the Ramayana and about Rama than Arshia Sattar. In her translation and study of the epic's final book, she gets to the heart of the Ramayana dynamics as they come to their elegiac, contradictory, and transcendent conclusion. Her exploration of the sociopolitical, literary, and religious signifiers in the conclusion of India's preeminent romantic legend is both accessible and illuminating. Just as the Uttara is a discursive epilogue to the Ramayana itself, so Sattar's essays are a satisfying and stimulating coda to her vigorous translation of the text. -- David Gitomer, DePaul UniversityArshia Sattar’s lively and accessible new translation brings life to the often-overlooked but crucial final volume of Valmiki’s epic. This illuminating kanda portrays the history of Ravana, Hanuman’s mischievous childhood exploits, and two of the most controversial episodes in the entire epic. Sattar’s introductory essays provide readers with a cogent framework to appreciate and analyze the subtleties of the story. -- Paula Richman, Oberlin College

Rowman & Littlefield Valmiki's Ramayana
Book SynopsisOne of India’s greatest epics, the Ramayana pervades the country’s moral and cultural consciousness. For generations it has served as a bedtime story for Indian children, while at the same time engaging the interest of philosophers and theologians. Believed to have been composed by Valmiki sometime between the eighth and sixth centuries BC, the Ramayana tells the tragic and magical story of Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, an incarnation of Lord Visnu, born to rid the earth of the terrible demon Ravana. An idealized heroic tale ending with the inevitable triumph of good over evil, the Ramayana is also an intensely personal story of family relationships, love and loss, duty and honor, of harem intrigue, petty jealousies, and destructive ambitions. All this played out in a universe populated by larger-than-life humans, gods and celestial beings, wondrous animals and terrifying demons. With her magnificent translation and superb introduction, Arshia Sattar has successfully bridged both time and space to bring this ancient classic to modern English readers.Trade ReviewAn essential text for my Ramayana course. I've found nothing that comes near Arshia Sattar's abridged translation for students and general readers. -- Ed Yazijian, Furman UniversityOf all the many translations of the Ramayana into English, Arshia Sattar's is the only one that is both accurate and a pleasure to read. It is true to the Sanskrit but also true to the spirit of the original text, revealing meanings and overtones that other translators have missed or edited out for political reasons. The language is contemporary, bringing the moral complexities of the characters to life in ways that show how very relevant they still are to life in India today. -- Wendy Doniger, University of ChicagoThere are many Ramayanas in English, and some of them follow Valmiki’s narrative faithfully, but their English is wooden, unreadable, and opaque. Other texts are written in modern English but they deviate from Valmiki. Arshia Sattar’s retelling is a lone exception. Her one-volume abridged telling of the Ramayana brings Valmiki’s narrative faithfully and beautifully to the English audience. Dr. Sattar is a formidable Sanskrit scholar who writes expressive English prose, two qualities rarely combined in one person. Her reading of Valmiki is sensitively interpretive, but more significantly she hears the music of Valmiki’s text, which she effectively brings to her English prose—an extraordinary achievement indeed. Narrative faithfulness could easily be mechanical, but Sattar avoids it by close attention to the aesthetic liveliness of Valmiki’s text. This is the best Valmiki in English, and a most rewarding read for anyone who enjoys a superb story that has lasted centuries. -- Velcheru Narayana Rao, author of Text and Tradition in South IndiaArshia Sattar’s vibrant translation succeeds in drawing out the enchantment that this timeless story has held for countless audiences across centuries. With remarkable skill, Sattar navigates the challenge of making the text and sentiments of a nearly three-thousand-year-old story speak to a modern sensibility without losing the distinctive poetic flavor of the Valmiki text. Her critical introduction, written lucidly and beautifully, engages the major issues that come with translating a text that is also a diverse, living tradition. Arshia Sattar's insightful analysis of the salient features and themes of this text makes this edition itself a classic. -- Leela Prasad, Duke UniversityTable of ContentsGuide to Pronouncing Special Sanskrit Characters Translator’s Note to the Updated Edition Translator’s Note Introduction Childhood Ayodhya Wilderness Kiskindha Beauty War Epilogue Glossary Index

Earth Aware Editions Gita Wisdom: An Introduction to India's Essential
Book SynopsisJoshua M. Greene has taken one of the most venerable and revered texts of all times -The Bhagavad Gita, and presents it in a completely new way. Greene reveals that the GIta, which can easily be obtuse to the modern reader, is really a simple conversation between two friends about the meaning of life. This fresh new view helps the 21st century seeker relate to the Gita and offers new ways of understanding this essential wisdom. The Gita is a discussion between Krishna and his devoted friend Arjuna on a battlefield known as Kurukshetra, a sprawling tract of land two hours north of Delhi, India. Scriptural calculations put the date of this famous discussion at around 3000 BCE. Like all great literature the Gita explores the human condition: who we are, where we come from, and why we are here. And as with all great literature, the more we study the main characters the more real and human they become. From related works we learn that Krishna and Arjuna played together as children. They were close friends in youth and became family when Arjuna married Krishna’s sister. We learn that later in life they shared extraordinary adventures, including a journey through subtle pathways to places outside the known universe. Plainly put, India’s most revered scripture is a heart-to-heart talk between two men who were closer than brothers and were the best of friends. Above all, The Sacred Conversation is practical and features a very helpful glossary in the back for terms, names, and places. Whether you are an expert on The Bhagavad Gita or a first-time reader, this unique contribtion to spiritual literature offers deep knowledge in a highly accessible way.

Sounds True Inc Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate
Book SynopsisA Heart-Centered Spiritual Classic for Your Ever-Changing Life The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as the main hall of the fledgling Naropa Institute, some say that a minor miracle occurred: the reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass. With Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate Surrender, you are invited to experience these legendary gatherings. The tale of the warrior Arjuna and his divine friend Krishna serves as metaphor for the recurring dilemmas that we encounter as we spiral into the depths of our spiritual journey. In these sessions, Ram Dass illuminates the Gita’s essential verses with insights spanning many traditions, from Rumi's ecstatic poetry to Basho's koans, from devotional chant to monastic silence, from Sri Ramana's self-inquiry to Saint Paul's devotion to Christ. The destination? A new perspective on the crucial moments of contradiction and questioning that all spiritual seekers must face again and again: If it's all Divine perfection, why bother with the search at all? Is it possible to awaken without a teacher or guru? Why am I experiencing these strange spiritual "gifts”? Will I get lost in their power? If I'm conscious and kind, why not indulge in all of life's pleasures? Since everyone suffers and dies, will my compassion ultimately matter? With irrepressible love and intellect (and a good dose of skillful mischief), this epic meeting with Ram Dass yields new answers with every revisit, like a lifelong friend that comes to meet us at each turning of our journey.Highlights: A 12-hour odyssey with Ram Dass into his timeless Yogas of the Bhagavad Gita Naropa sessionsThree ways to enter the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita • Karma yoga—reincarnation, dharma, service, sadhanas • Jnana yoga—inquiry, the critical mind, the koan • Mind, illusion, and Brahman • Sacrifice and mantra—trappings and benefits of ritual and form • Renunciation and purification—ashtanga yoga, kundalini, the chakras, austerities, the "witness," desire, sexual energy • Devotion and the guru—bhakti ("devotion"), surrender, siddhis ("powers"), Maharajji • Death and dying—What is born, what dies?

Anthem Press Studies in Hindu Law and Dharmaśāstra
Book SynopsisThe main sources for an understanding of classical Hindu law are the Sanskrit treatises on religious and legal duties, known as the Dharmaśāstras. In this collection of his major studies in the field, Ludo Rocher presents essays on a wide range of topics, from general themes such as the nature of Hindu law to technical matters including word studies and text criticism. Rocher’s deep engagement with the language and worldview of the authors in the Dharmaśāstra tradition yields distinctive and corrective contributions to the field. This collection serves as an invaluable introduction to a leading authority in the field of Indology. Trade Review‘Donald Davis, Jr. and the Anthem Press are to be applauded for undertaking this massive project. Indologists who already know Rocher’s work will deeply appreciate that a ready means of accessing it now exists. For those unfamiliar with Rocher’s work, this volume provides a significant counterbalance for the general study of the Indian tradition, standing as a corrective for a field that has long been dominated by a one-sided focus on religion.’ —Herman Tull, ‘Journal of Hindu Studies’Table of ContentsForeword by Richard W.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Exploring Moral Injury in Sacred Texts
Book SynopsisMoral injury is a profound violation of a human being's core moral identity through experiences of violence or trauma. This is the first book in which scholars from different faith and academic backgrounds consider the concept of moral injury not merely from a pastoral or philosophical point of view but through critical engagement with the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and American Civil Religion.This collection of essays explores the ambiguities of personal culpability among both perpetrators and victims of violence and the suffering involved in accepting personal agency in trauma. Contributors provide fresh and compelling readings of texts from different faith traditions and use their findings to reflect on real-life strategies for recovery from violations of core moral beliefs and their consequences such as shame, depression and addiction. With interpretations of the sacred texts, contributors reflect on the concerns of the morally-injured today and offer particular aspects of healing from their communities as support, making this a groundbreaking contribution to the study of moral injury and trauma.Trade ReviewThis book is a powerful impetus to understanding the full spectrum of moral injury and moral rehabilitation. -- John Dominic Crossan, Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies, DePaul University, Chicago, IL.A highly valuable collection for those engaging with religion and trauma studies. -- Karen L.

Anthem Press Śambūka and the Rāmāyaṇa Tradition: A History of
Book SynopsisAccording to Vālmīki’s Sanskrit Rāmāyaṇa (early centuries CE), Śambūka was practicing severe acts of austerity to enter heaven. In engaging in these acts as a Śūdra, Śambūka was in violation of class- and caste-based societal norms prescribed exclusively by the ruling and religious elite. Rāma, the hero of the Rāmāyaṇa epic, is dispatched to kill Śambūka, whose transgression is said to be the cause of a young Brahmin’s death. The gods rejoice upon the Śūdra’s death and restore the life of the Brahmin. Subsequent Rāmāyaṇa poets almost instantly recognized this incident as a blemish on Rāma’s character and they began problematizing this earliest version of the story. They adjusted and updated the story to suit the expectations of their audiences. The works surveyed in this study include numerous works originating in Hindu, Jain, Dalit and non-Brahmin communities while spanning the period from Śambūka’s first appearance in the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa through to the present day. The book follows the Śambūka episode chronologically across its entire history—approximately two millennia—to illuminate the social, religious, legal, and artistic connections that span the entire range of the Rāmāyaṇa’s influence and its place throughout various phases of Indian history and social revolution. Trade Review“Drawing on classical and modern texts in six Indian languages as well as English and on contemporary ethnographic observation, this book presents an impressive diachronic study of a troubling, often elided, yet never wholly erased storyline within the pan-Indian Ramayana tradition. It persuasively shows not only the persistence and ubiquity of the tale of Śambūka—a low-caste man allegedly slain by King Rama in order to uphold dharma—but also its importance as a gauge of sentiments about a range of sensitive sociocultural issues, and thus offers a timely and important intervention in debates about India’s past and present.”—Philip Lutgendorf, Professor of Hindi and Modern Indian Studies, Emeritus, University of Iowa; Author: Hanuman’s Tale: The Messages of a Divine Monkey; Translator:Tulsidas: The Epic of Ram.“Caste has become the cornerstone of identity politics in India and Sherraden uses many versions of the story of Shambuka, told with its multiple intents and interpretations to map the larger Ramayana tradition anew. More importantly, he shows how the appropriation and dissemination of this story via Dalit and non-brahmin groups provides a counternarrative to the main (often elite and hegemonic) Ramayana tradition.”—Arshia Sattar, Author of Maryada: Searching for Dharma in the Ramayana.Table of ContentsList of figures; Acknowledgments; Foreword: Śambūka’s Story across Time and India’s Regions; A Note on Transliteration; Abbreviations; 1.
