A Musalmāni Matron of Cholera in Bengal
While the story of Śītalā, the patron goddess of smallpox in India, has been reasonably well documented by historians of medicine and religious scholars alike,1 the more recent matron of cholera, Olābibī, is not so well-known or studied. As Mark Harrison argues, by the late 18th and early 19th c., Olābibī (literally ‘lady of the flux’) was distinctly associated with cholera by the residents of greater Bengal, but there is a dearth of published li…
Encountering the Smallpox Goddess: The Auspicious Song of Śītalā
Witness to Marvels: Sufism and Literary Imagination
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org . There is a vast body of imaginal literature in Bengali that introduces fictional Sufi saints into the complex mythological world of Hindu gods and goddesses. Dating to the sixteenth century, the stories- pir katha -are still widely read and performed today. The events that play out rival the fabulations of the Arabian Nights, which has led them to be dismiss…
Witness to Marvels: Sufism and Literary Imagination
There is a vast body of imaginal literature in Bengali that introduces fictional Sufi saints into the complex mythological world of Hindu gods and goddesses. Dating to the sixteenth century, the stories-pīr katha-are still widely read and performed today.

Encountering the Smallpox Goddess: The Auspicious Song of Śītalā
Fabulous females and peerless Pīrs: Tales of mad adventure in old Bengal
This book presents translations of eight closely related 18th- and 19th-century Bengali folk tales centered on Satya Pīr and the people he helps. While the worship of Satya Pīr is the ostensible motivation for the tales, they really demonstrate his miraculous powers, which authenticate him as a legitimate object of worship

The Unwilting Garland of Faithfulness, a Bengali folk tale translated into English, is presented

When Biographical Narratives Disagree: The Death of Krsna Caitanya
The conflicting death narratives of Krsna Caitanya (1486-1533), who was the inspiration for the Vaisnava movement of Bengal, provide insights into the way members of a believing community reveal historical information about themselves and the way that they think, rather than about their ostensible subject. According to the mainstrean theologians of this group, it is improper to speak of Caitanya's death because he is Krsna, svayam bhagavān, and a…
