Poles apart? From Wrestling and Mallkhāmb to Pole Yoga
Mallkhāmb (malla-khāmba, “wrestler-pole”) is today popularly referred to as “Pole Yoga” and it is recognised as the so-called “Authentic Indian Sport.” However, its history is confusing to trace. Some speculate that the source of pole yoga is neither the Marathi mallkhāmb nor the similar Sanskrit mallastambha, or neither stambha-śrama (“pole-exercise”). Rather, myths of Śiva’s stambha are imagined across dissonant and dislocated biographies, whic…
Sanskrit-Speaking’ Villages, Faith-Based Development and the Indian Census
Over three sections, the 2001 and 2011 Indian censuses are scrutinised to locate, down to the sub‐district administrative and village levels, where L1‐L3 (first to third language) Sanskrit tokens were returned during census enumeration. First, there is a theo‐political discussion of Sanskrit’s imaginative power for faith‐based development. This includes a discussion on how ‘Sanskrit‐speaking’ villages signify an ambition toward cultural renaissan…

Changing Face of the Yoga Industry, Its Dharmic Roots and Its Message to Women
The X+Y+Zen of “Temple Yoga” in Japan
Holy Science
The particular cover of Banu Subramaniam’s book, Holy Science: The Biopolitics of Hindu Nationalism, is provocatively playful. A “Vedic” pundit sits at what appears to be the shoreline of the beach wearing several garlands of rudrākṣa and a sarong-like luṇgi. As well, his hair is worn with a typical top knot and a matching long beard. What makes this cover so delightful is that our pundit also wears a microphone/earphone head piece, as if he is i…
Sustainably Speaking Yoga
Sanskrit is considered by many devout Hindus and global consumers of yoga alike to be an inspirational, divine, ‘language of the gods’. For 2000 years, at least, this middle Indo-Aryan language has endured in a post-vernacular state, due, principally, to its symbolic capital as a liturgical language. This presentation focuses on my almost decade-long research into the theo-political implications of reviving Sanskrit, and includes an explication o…
Suggesting Śāntarasa in Shanti Mandir’s Satsaṅga
S atsaṅga is a public domain where ideas related to transcendence and culturallycontingent “Truth” are suggested. This paper combines a longitudinal study of Shanti Mandir’s ( www.shantimandir.com ) satsaṅga, with close reading of local and non-local literary theories related to the performativity of satsaṅga and the doctrine of appreciating tranquillity ( śāntarasavāda ). This leads to the possibility of framing satsaṅga as a rasavatkāvya (charm…
