Monastic Wanderers (eBook, ePUB)

Nath Yogi Ascetics in Modern South Asia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book gives a detailed account of two pañcayati monasteries, the Kadri Mäh of Mangalore where its head's enthronement is spectacularly performed every twelve years, and the Caughera Mäh of Dang Valley in Nepal, the royal foundation of which gives a glimpse of the complex relationships that can exist between monasteries and kingdoms. It then focuses on three niji mähs: Amritashram in Fatehpur (Rajasthan), Ashtal Bohar in Rohtak (Haryana) and the Gorakhpur mandir (UP). Each of them shows a different mode of adaptation to a modern context and attests of the present importance and continuity of this pluri-secular tradition of asceticism.

Autorenporträt

Véronique Bouillier is a social anthropologist at the CNRS (Paris). Looking first at the social organization and history of Shaivite ascetic castes in Nepal, she turned to the study of monastic structures, as implemented by the N¿th Yog¿ sect in Nepal and in India, and devoted two books as well as several articles both in French and English to the interface between asceticism and society.
