Abstract

La dette dans la société et la culture indiennes : tel est le thème du présent cahier. Quel est le type de dépendance que crée la dette entre les différentes catégories de créanciers et de débiteurs ? Selon quels processus la dette cesse-t-elle d’être une relation inter-individuelle pour affecter des groupes et des générations successives ? La dette comme relation sociale peut-elle être éclairée par la théorie de la dette constitutive de la nature humaine telle quelle est formulée par l’orthodoxie brâhmanique ? Selon quelles modalités, dans quelles circonstances passe-t-on de l’endettement traditionnel aux formes capitalistes du crédit ? Peut-on reconnaître un style proprement indien de l’endettement ?

Abstract

In this book, Patton E. Burchett offers a path-breaking genealogical study of devotional (bhakti) Hinduism that traces its understudied historical relationships with tantra, yoga, and Sufism. Beginning in India's early medieval "Tantric Age" and reaching to the present day, Burchett focuses his analysis on the crucial shifts of the early modern period, when the rise of bhakti communities in North India transformed the religious landscape in ways that would profoundly affect the shape of modern-day Hinduism. A Genealogy of Devotion illuminates the complex historical factors at play in the growth of bhakti in Sultanate and Mughal India through its pivotal interactions with Indic and Persianate traditions of asceticism, monasticism, politics, and literature. Shedding new light on the importance of Persian culture and popular Sufism in the history of devotional Hinduism, Burchett's work explores the cultural encounters that reshaped early modern North Indian communities. Focusing on the Ramanandi bhakti community and the tantric Nath yogis, Burchett describes the emergence of a new and Sufi-inflected devotional sensibility--an ethical, emotional, and aesthetic disposition - that was often critical of tantric and yogic religiosity. Early modern North Indian devotional critiques of tantric religiosity, he shows, prefigured colonial-era Orientalist depictions of bhakti as "religion" and tantra as "magic." Providing a broad historical view of bhakti, tantra, and yoga while simultaneously challenging dominant scholarly conceptions of them, A Genealogy of Devotion offers a bold new narrative of the history of religion in India.

Abstract

This book explains how Hindus think about divinity in its feminine aspect, as the supreme creative energy of the cosmos. That energy is a single abstract idea but manifests itself in many forms, each imagined as a goddess with particular powers and functions.
