Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mokashi is a Marathi novelist of the post-independence generation of "Realists." This is a vivid account of his day-by-day experience on the Warkari pilgrimage from Alandi to Pandharpur on foot. Pilgrimage is one of the most visible and pervasive features of Hinduism. Every year the Warkaris carry palanquins, called palkhis, bearing sandals representing the feet of their saints from various towns to Pandharpur in Maharashtra—to the Temple of Vitoba. Mokashi accompanied the oldest and most revered of the palanquin processions, the palkhi of Jnaneshwar Maharaj, on its two-week journey. His account is the only sustained view of the pilgrimage in any language.

Download or read book The Experience of Hinduism written by Maxine Berntsen and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents multi-faceted images of religious experience in the Marathi-speaking region of India. In addition to Irawati Karve's classic, "On the Road," about her pilgrimage to Pandharpur, there are three essays by Karve that appear in English for the first time. Here is possession by gods and ghosts, an actual sermon by an inspired saint in the traditional bhajan style, and an autobiographical account of the religious nationalism of the militant R.S.S. These are engaging, true-to-life accounts of the lives of individual Hindus. Essays and imaginative literature, a poem, and a short story interplay the ideas, concepts, personalities, practices, rituals, and deities of Hinduism in a surprisingly coherent manner.

Download or read book Dattatreya The Immortal Guru Yogin and Avatara written by Antonio Rigopoulos and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1998-04-02 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the multi-faceted Hindu deity Dattatreya from his Puranic emergence to modern times. This book presents the multi-faceted Hindu deity Dattatreya from his Puranic emergence up to modern times. Dattatreya's Brahmanical portrayal, as well as his even more archaic characterization as a Tantric antinomian figure, combines both Vaisnava Saiva motifs. Over the course of time, Dattatreya has come to embody the roles of the immortal guru, yogin and avatara in a paradigmatic manner. From the sixteenth century Dattatreya's glorious characterization emerged as the incarnation of the trimurti of Brahma, Visnu, and Siva. Although Maharastra is the heartland of Dattatreya devotion, his presence is attested to throughout India and extends beyond the boundaries of Hinduism, being met with in Sufi circles and even in Buddhism and Jainism via Nathism. The scarce attention which most Western scholars of Indian religions have paid to this deity contrasts with its ubiquitousness and social permeability. Devotion to Dattatreya cuts through all social and religious strata of Indian society: among his adepts we find yogis, Brahmans, faqirs, Devi worshippers, untouchables, thieves, and prostitutes. This book explores all primary religious dimensions: myth, doctrine, ritual, philosophy, mysticism, and iconography. The comprehensive result offers a rich fresco of Hindu religion as well as an understanding of Marathi integrative spirituality: precisely this complexity of themes constitutes Dattatreya's uniqueness. "I learned a great deal from this book. Although I had known about Dattatreya as an important figure in Hinduism, I had never realized the richness and complexity of this truly Protean deity. As Rigopoulos notes, Dattatreya has been largely neglected by scholars, and this book makes you wonder why, since he is so intriguing. I suspect that this will become a classic in its area, since there really is no comparable work which does so much relating to Dattatreya. In a way, to read the history of Dattatreya as presented by Rigopoulos is to engage the history of Hinduism! Virtually all of the major historical phases and issues are there, from the Vedic period up to the last decade." -- Glen Hayes, Bloomfield College

Download or read book Sufism in Maharashtra Perspective on Literature of Sufi Saints written by Kiran Paithankar and published by Classy Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we look at the history of the world, we find that the period of almost known history is full of various political upheavals and battles, the rise and fall of different religions and sects. However, during this period, thousands of scholars, and founders of religion as well as various known and unknown saints have contributed on earthly and material fronts with a view to make human life endurable and stable social life. The most close and familiar subject with social life is one's own religious beliefs. The book 'Sufism in Maharashtra' is an absolute encyclopaedia of Sufism and in all this, the ultimate goal of religion and faith is social unity, love, and brotherhood is stated. In the course of time, various ideas have become hybrids and new opinions have emerged. In everyday life, the transcendental life of the common man should be happy so that he can fully face the pleasures and sorrows that come with living a material life. It is for this purpose that the saints have come forward in which the Sufi system has a great deal to do, as well as the saints on this bhakti Marg (Varkari/a devotional path). The objectives of both these sects were so similar and goal-oriented that it is not known whether the Sufi saints followed the path of the local saints, and the supporters followed the path of the Sufi saints. Considering this unity, if you study the various literature works and compositions of the Sufi saints, you will find their influence on the local social life and the reflection of the customs of the society in their literature. For this, an attempt has been made in this book to show the place of some Muslim Sufi saints in the land of Maharashtra in the local life by presenting a detailed study of their compositions and literature. The writings of Muslim Marathi saints are of a very high standard. The number of followers of Sufi saints is huge in India especially Maharashtra. But even today, people do not pay much attention to the writings and philosophies of Muslim Sufi saints in Maharashtra. Their bibliography is new to the general public, with the exception of a few disciplines and curious scholars. The work of such great Sufi saints and their texts should be introduced. More than half of the general readership in Maharashtra is unaware of the origins of Sufi saints, their propaganda, etc., so that their work can reach the masses. This book deals with the origin, development, propagation, and propagation of Sufi faith as well as the traditions and writings of Sufi saints in Maharashtra. In order to provide useful information to the general readers and practitioners of the Sufi system in a single book, I have taken the approach here. In the first chapter of the book, I have described the concept of religion, in the second chapter analysed the Sufism in the Global concept and in the third section how Sufism spread in India is investigated. In the fourth chapter, Sufi and Varkari from Maharashtra and saints on the path of devotion are depicted. In the fifth chapter, a detailed account of the various prominent poetic compositions of the Muslim saint poets of Maharashtra is presented. It shows the influence of Muslim saints on the issue of social integration as well as spirituality which is another part of the society. In such a detailed book, a unique study of the Sufi faith of the Muslim saint poets of Maharashtra and their works is presented in this book. I think this book will definitely be useful for the general reader, curious, researcher, history student, etc. to satisfy their curiosity and research.
