Hindu Images and their Worship with special reference to Vaisnavism (eBook, PDF)

A philosophical-theological inquiry

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on Hindu images and their worship with special reference to Vai¿¿avism, a major strand of Hinduism. Concentrating largely, but not exclusively, on Sanskritic source material, the author shows in the course of the book that Hindu image-worship may be understood via three levels of interpretation: the metaphysical/theological, the narratival or mythic, and the performative or ritual.
