In Praise of Holy Men: Hagiographic Poems by and about Hariram Vyas

Heidi Pauwels

4.9/5 (11080 ratings)

Description:This book is a contribution to understanding the formation of religious communities as revealed by the rhetoric of hagiographical works. It studies how religious groupings legitimize themselves by affiliation with holy men, and how they go about magining this affiliation in songs and stories in praise of holy men. The focus of the book is on the influential North Indian Krishna bhakti (devotional) movement of Hinduism and its multiple hagiographical strategies. It presents a case study of hagiographical works by and about Harir m Vy s, a sixteenth-century Hindu holy man or bhakta. The book includes a new scholarly edition and first-time translation of an important set of poems by Vy s in praise of several holy men, including the famous Kab r. It also provides an edition and translations of selected hagiographical material about Vy s himself. The analysis of this little-studied material has implications for the history of Krishna devotion in particular and Hindu devotion in general, and has broader relevance for the history and phenomenology of religion."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
