In the present work, the first of its kind in the field of Indian philology, Marc Tiefenauer outlines the history of representations of hell in Indian religious traditions. His study is based on primary sources in Sanskrit, Pali, Ardhamagadhi, Chinese, Braj, Persian and Hindi, extending over three millennia. He identifies the main ideological contributions to Brahmanical representations of the afterlife, particularly those stemming from Buddhism, Jainism, devotional currents (Bhakti) and Islam. He shows the utility of eschatological research to hermeneutics, especially in view of improving the understanding of the literatures of ancient India.

Élevé entre la fin du ixe et la première moitié du xe siècle au cœur du delta de la Kāvēri du pays tamoul, en l’honneur du « grand dieu de Tirukkaṭaimuṭi », le temple shivaïte de Tirucceṉṉampūṇṭi constitue l’assise de cet ouvrage. Maintenant abandonné, ce temple est l’un des exemples les plus anciens d’un art dit Cōḻa. L’analyse conduit à proposer qu’il fut construit en l’honneur d’une des divinités shivaïtes chantées dans l’anthologie poétique des premiers hymnes à Śiva du pays tamoul, le Tēvāram (VIIe-IXe siècles). La difficulté à cerner l’identité du plus important des patrons du temple, la reine Pallava Māṟampāvai, répond à la complexité d’un site où s’entrelacent différents corpus, poèmes, épigraphes, sculptures, monuments Pallava et manifestations artistiques de la période cōḻa. Tirucceṉṉampūṇṭi est ainsi exploré à travers trois directions de recherche principales : il s’agit de définir l’art Cōḻa en reconnaissant la contribution des temples royaux des Pallava et en s’interrogeant sur l’usage des labels dynastiques, d’explorer la relation entre le monde des textes et celui de l’archéologie à l’aide de deux corpus précis, l’un iconographique, l’autre épigraphique et, enfin, d’examiner la relation entre royal et local pour ce qui concerne le phénomène religieux connu sous le nom de "Bhakti". Femme active dans une région déterminée, se proclamant dans des inscriptions tamoules membre d’une famille des Pallava fameuse pour son épigraphie sanskrite, liée à une communauté de marchands plus qu’aux brahmanes, Māṟampāvai paraît cristalliser les rencontres entre plusieurs mondes. L’univers divin n’est pas le moins complexe d’entre eux : Viṣṇu The heart of this book is a temple built in the Tamil-speaking South in the late 9th or early 10th century CE, at Tirucceṉṉampūṇṭi, near Trichy. Now abandoned, that temple is one of the earliest known Śaiva temples of the Cōḻa period. The evidence gathered here suggests that this shrine, dedicated to Śiva as "the great god of…

This Special Issue of Religions brings together a talented group of international scholars who have studied and written on the Hindu tradition. The topic of religious experience is much debated in the field of Religious Studies, and here, we present studies of the Hindu religious experience explored from a variety of regions and perspectives. Our intention is to show that the religious experience has long been an important part of Hinduism, and should not be dismissed or considered as irrelevant. As a body of scholarship, these articles refine our understanding of the range and variety of religious experience in Hinduism. In addition to their substantive contributions, the authors also show important new directions in the study of the third-largest religion in the world, with over one billion followers.

The aim of this book is to create a space for contributions on religious freedom in the Global South. The contributions speak to diverse themes underscoring religious freedom in the Global South including the impact of religious freedom on majority and minority religious communities, the relationship between religious freedom and the state, and the relationship between religious freedom and other fundamental human rights. Through the adoption of inter- and multidisciplinary approaches, and with reference to various religions such as Islam, Hinduism, Sufism, Sikhism, and Christianity, contributors address the themes across several regions in the world including Africa, South Asia, South-East Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. Depending on the social, legal, and political context and by relying on diverse examples such as the Muslim call to prayer (adhan), domestic violence, animal sacrifice, religious conversions, abortion, the rights of LGBT persons, and religious education in the public sphere, the contributions illustrate how religious freedom can undermine or promote the rights of majority or minority religious communities, and how it can impact on the rights of marginalised members within minority religious communities.
