Mapping a Culture of Mindfulness: Lay Conceptions of Mindfulness and Why They Matter
Beyond Posture, Beyond Therapy: Spiritual Work and Cultural Adaptation in Dietary, Musical, and Breathing Practices of Global Modern Yoga
EMBODYING TRANSNATIONAL YOGA: EATING, SINGING, AND BREATHING IN TRANSFORMATION. By Christopher Jain Miller. London: Routledge, 2024. Pp. 184. Paperback $43.99. Modern yoga consists of more than physical postures (āsana) and meditation, yet these aspects of modern yoga traditions have received near-exclusive attention from scholars.

Definitions of meditation among lay people: A mixed method examination considering the roles of meditation experience, religion, and spirituality
The purpose of this mixed method interdisciplinary study was to investigate lay individuals’ (i.e., community members’ and college students’) perceptions and understandings of meditation.

We show how Ramji’s tantric ritual services – based firmly in mantras, yantras, and a “science” of vibrational resonance – trouble the conventional ways that religion …
Agradās and Rām Rasik Bhakti Community: The Politics of Remembrance and the Authority of the Hindu Saint
Bodies of Song: Kabir Oral Traditions and Performative Worlds in North India . By Linda Hess
The product of over a decade of research, Linda Hess's new book on oral-performative traditions of songs attributed to the fifteenth-century north Indian poet-saint Kabir is remarkable for the insight it brings to a wide range of important topics—among them, the relationship of textuality and orality, the question of “authenticity,” the embodied experience of oral-performative traditions, and the tension between “outer” sociopolitical struggles a…
