His focus is a Buddhist text authored in China but made to look like a translation from Sanskrit. His study excavates what the winds of history and the biases of history-writers have covered up: the fact that Tantric Buddhism occupied a crucial position in medieval Chinese civilization. - Stephen F.

Siva in Trouble : festivals and rituals at the Paśupatinātha Temple of Deopatan (Nepal) (South Asia Research)
- Michaels, Axel
- Oxford U.P.
- xx,285p photos.
- 2008
- Deopatan (Nepal) -- Paśupatinātha-Tempel -- Hinduism rituals -- Fasts and feasts The town of Deopatan, three kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, is above all famous for its main sanctum, the temple of Pasupati, the "lord of the animals," a form of Siva and the tutelary deity of the kings of Nepal since ancient times. By its name alone, the temple attracts thousands of pilgrims each year and has made itself known far beyond the Kathamndu Valley. However, for the dominant Newar population the town is by no means merely the seat of Siva or Pasupati. It is also a city of wild goddesses and other deities. Due to this tension between two strands of Hinduism -- the pure, vegetarian Smarta Hinduism and the Newar Hinduism which implies alcohol and blood sacrifices -- Siva/Pasupati has more than once been in trouble, as the many festivals and rituals described and analyzed in this book reveal. Deopatan is a contested field. Different deities, agents social groups, ritual specialists, and institutions are constantly seeking dominance, challenging and even fighting each other, thus contributing to social and political dynamics and tensions that are indeed distinct in South Asia.

The Eminent Monk: Buddhist ideals in medieval Chinese hagiography.
- Kieschnick, John
- U. of Hawaii Pr.
- vii,218p. pap.
- 1997
- Buddhist priests -- China -- Buddhist monks -- Biographies In an attempt to reconstruct an elusive aspect of the medieval Chinese imagination, The Eminent Monk examines biographies of Chinese Buddhist monks, from the uncompromising ascetic to the unfathomable wonder-worker. The book treats representations of asceticism in biographies of Chinese monks, focusing particularly on attitudes toward sex, food, and clothing. It analyzes the image of the Buddhist thaumaturge in these biographies, including the monk's relationship to supernormal powers, spells, and miracles. Finally, it mines the hagiography for clues to monastic attitudes toward scholarship, including a discussion of education in the monasteries, debate, and the constraints on intellectual exchange within the monastic community. Ch. 1. Asceticism -- Ch. 2. Thaumaturgy -- Ch. 3. Scholarship

Karma. (Dimensions of Asian Spirituality)
- Bronkhorst, Johannes
- U. of Hawaii Pr.
- vi,129p.
- 2011
- Karma -- Brahmanism -- Buddhism In lucid and accessible prose, this book presents karma in its historical, cultural, and religious context. Initially, karma manifested itself in a number of religious movements-most notably Jainism and Buddhism-and was subsequently absorbed into Brahmanism in spite of opposition until the end of the first millennium C.E. Philosophers of all three traditions were confronted with the challenge of explaining by what process rebirth and karmic retribution take place. The doctrine of karma was confronted with alternative explanations of human destiny, among them the belief in the transfer of merit. It also had to accommodate itself to devotional movements that exerted a major influence on Indian religions. The book concludes with some general reflections on the significance of rebirth and karmic retribution, drawing attention to similarities between early Christian and Indian ascetical practices and philosophical notions that in India draw their inspiration from the doctrine of karma. I. Orthodox Karma Origins and religious use Karma in and after Greater Magadha Karma in Brahmanism Karma and philosophy II. Variants of Karma Transfer of merit Competitors of karma From one life to the next Devotion

Law and Muslim Political Thought in Late Colonial North India.

- Law -- Political aspects -- India -- History -- 20th century -- Iqbal, Muhammad, Sir, 1877-1938 -- innah, Mahomed Ali, 1876-1948 During the 1930s, much of the world was in severe economic and political crisis. This upheaval ushered in new ways of thinking about social and political systems. In some cases, these new ideas transformed states and empires alike. Particularly in Europe, these transformations are well-chronicled in scholarship. In academic writings on India, however, Muslim political and legal thought has gone relatively unnoticed during this eventful decade. This book fills this gap by mapping the evolution of Muslim political and legal thought from roughly 1927 to 1940. 1: Introduction 2: In Search of Vulnerabilities Lost 3: Shahidganj and the Burden of Time 4: Jinnah: A Thinker of Existential Survival 5: Iqbal and Combative Constitutionalism 6: Conclusion

- India -- Civilization -- 1200-1765 -- Bakti -- Sufism -- History In The Foundations of the Composite Culture in India, the focus of the author is the process of establishment of Hindu-Muslim unity as a result of historical, social and cultural factors over a period of ten centuries. Traversing this era, he reveals how the Muslim rulers contributed to such harmony and how the two cultures exchanged and accepted each other's tenets to enrich and formulate a composite Indian culture. To explore the foundations on which the complex culture of India rests, the author examines the contribution of Sufism which inherently connotes syncretism and tolerance, as well as the simultaneous rise of the Bhakti movement in medieval India.

- India -- Civil religion -- Religion and state -- History Many of ancient India's religious traditions are alive in modern India, and many of these religious traditions are in conflict with one another regarding the future of India. Even the so-called "secular state" is deeply pervaded by religious sentiments growing out of the Neo-Hindu nationalist movement of Gandhi and Nehru. A careful analysis of the current religious scene when placed in its proper long-term historical perspective raises interesting questions about the nature and future of religion not only in India but elsewhere as well.

This debate took place within the traditional discourses of Vedic Hermeneutics, or Mīmāṃsā, and its increasingly influential sibling discipline of Vedānta, and its proponents among the leading intellectuals and public figures of the period.

- Jaina philosophy -- Anekāntavāda In 'Jain Approaches to Plurality' Melanie Barbato offers a new perspective on the Jain teaching of plurality ('anekantavada') and how it allowed Jains to engage with other discourses from Indian inter-school philosophy to global interreligious dialogue. Jainism, one of the world?s oldest religions, has managed to both adapt and preserve its identity across time through its inherently dialogical outlook. Drawing on a wide range of textual sources and original research in India, Barbato analyses the encounters between Jains and non-Jains in the classical, colonial and global context. 'Jain Approaches to Plurality' offers a comprehensive introduction to 'anekantavada' as a non-Western resource for understanding plurality and engaging in dialogue.

The Bhagavad Gita: a biography. (Lives of Great Religious Books)
- Davis, Richard H.
- Princeton U.P.
- x,243p.
- 2015
- Bhagavadgītā -- Criticism, interpretation, etc -- History Davis highlights the place of this legendary dialogue in classical Indian culture, and then examines how it has lived on in diverse settings and contexts. He looks at the medieval devotional traditions surrounding the divine character of Krishna and traces how the Gita traveled from India to the West, where it found admirers in such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Aldous Huxley. Davis explores how Indian nationalists like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda used the Gita in their fight against colonial rule, and how contemporary interpreters reanimate and perform this classical work for audiences today.

- Great Britain -- Colonies -- World War, 1914-18 -- History The British Empire played a crucial part in the First World War, supplying hundreds of thousands of soldiers and labourers as well as a range of essential resources, from foodstuffs to minerals, mules, and munitions. In turn, many imperial territories were deeply affected by wartime phenomena, such as inflation, food shortages, combat, and the presence of large numbers of foreign troops. This collection offers a comprehensive selection of essays illuminating the extent of the Empire's war contribution and experience, and the richness of scholarly research on the subject. Whether supporting British military operations, aiding the British imperial economy, or experiencing significant wartime effects on the home fronts of the Empire, the war had a profound impact on the colonies and their people.

The Oriental, the Ancient and the Primitive: systems of marriage and the family in the pre-industry societies of Eurasia. (Studies in Literacy, Family, Culture and the State)
- Goody, Jack
- Cambridge U.P.

- Asia -- Social life and custoims -- Families -- Kinship -- History -- Cross-cultural studies Goody examines the transmission of productive and other property in relation both to the prevailing political economy and to family and ideological structures, and then explores the distribution of mechanisms and strategies of management across cultures. He concludes that notions of western 'uniqueness' are often misplaced, and that much previous work on Asian kinship has been unwittingly distorted by the application of concepts and approaches derived from other, inappropriate, social formations, simple or post-industrial.

Virtuous Bodies: the physical dimensions of morality in Buddhist ethics. (American Academy of Religion)
- Mrozik, Susanne
- Oxford U.P.
- vii,184p.
- 2007
- ́Śāntideva -- Śikṣāsamuccaya -- Human body -- Buddhism. Virtuous Bodies breaks new ground in the field of Buddhist ethics by investigating the diverse roles bodies play in ethical development. Traditionally, Buddhists assumed a close connection between body and morality. Thus Buddhist literature contains descriptions of living beings that stink with sin, are disfigured by vices, or are perfumed and adorned with virtues. Taking an influential early medieval Indian Mahāyāna Buddhist text-Śāntideva's Compendium of Training (Śikşāsamuccaya) -as a case study, Susanne Mrozik demonstrates that Buddhists regarded ethical development as a process of physical and moral transformation. Mrozik chooses The Compendium of Training because it quotes from over one hundred Buddhist scriptures, allowing her to reveal a broader Buddhist interest in the ethical significance of bodies. The text is a training manual for bodhisattvas, especially monastic bodhisattvas. In it, bodies function as markers of, and conditions for, one's own ethical development. Most strikingly, bodies also function as instruments for the ethical development of others. When living beings come into contact with the virtuous bodies of bodhisattvas, they are transformed physically and morally for the better.
