Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This volume, which inaugurates a series of anthologies on religion, is unique in its focus on vernacular sources rather than classical Vedic lineage texts. Representing Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Muslim, Sufi, and Sikh religious expressions, the categories include household rites, folklore, omens, alchemical and oracular practices, temple dedications, hagiographical odes, mantras, and pujas. Editor Davis (religion, Yale) provides the historical introduction to Indian religion, while each of the 30 contributors gives a preamble to his or her chosen text. Suggestions for further reading follow each selection. The volume is arranged thematically, not by religion, and most of the works have never before been translated. Overarching themes suggest a unity that the editor leaves readers to syncretize. Many of the selections convey the rapture of devotion, celebrating sacred love toward guru, saint, or God. The complex array of doctrines and contesting ideologies is like the murmur of a mighty river providing fascinating reading for both scholar and general reader.

Review
