Does emigration by itself improve birth weight? Study in European newborns of Indo-Pakistan origin
Maternal BMI is the most relevant parameter affecting fetal growth regardless of the place of residence
Tantra, Magic, and Vernacular Religions in Monsoon Asia
Roots of the Two Sides of Kamakhya
The shrine of Kamakhya (Assam) was supposed to be the eminent yogini-pitha. Inside the sanctum of Kamakhya a yoni (vulva) stone is concealed as the main cultic image of the Goddess, which Kaulism identified as the 'mouth of the yoginis'. This article analyses the symbolism related to the Tantric cult of the yoni and its historical evolution through the combined lens of History of Religions and Cognitive Science of Religions. Kamakhya thus emerges…
Yoni of Kamakhya
The mythology of the yoni of Sati was introduced in the early medieval Kalikapurana (ninth–eleventh century ce), a sakta text that linked the sexual symbol of the Goddess to the Kamakhya-pitha in Assam. This article will analyse the medieval Puranas and Tantras compiled in northeastern India—focusing on their mythological accounts of the cosmogony of the yoni pitha—in order to outline a historical evolution of the yoni symbol through the Middle A…
The Goddess Kāmākhyā
This article examines the cross-cultural influence that worked on the absorption process of the goddess Kāmākhyā (Assam) within the Brahmanic pantheon, through a correlation of textual and historical-religious pieces of evidence. 2 2 This article is an enlarged and revised version of a paper that I presented on 18 September 2015 during the sixth Coffee Break Conference (17–19 September) held at the Italian Institute of Oriental Studies of ‘Sapien…
The Yoni Cult at Kamakhya
In ancient Assam the mythology of Daksa's sacrifice and the consequent suicide of Sati was transformed, in order to incorporate the yoni (vulva) symbol in the Brahmanic context. According to the North-eastern Puranas the limbs of the dismembered goddess's corpse fell to the earth, originating the sakta pithas (seats of the goddess); in particular, the yoni of Sati fell on Kamagiri, a place that became well known as either the place where Siva and…
The Cross-Cultural Kingship in Early Medieval Kāmarūpa
Kingship in early medieval Kāmarūpa (Assam) was influenced by the collision of orthodox and heterodox Brahmanic traditions with various tribal cultures. Since the last part of the Śālastambha period (seventh-tenth century) the royal tutelary deity of Kāmarūpa was the menstruating Kāmākhyā, an ancient kirāta goddess. According to the Puranic tradition, the cult of Kāmākhyā was absorbed within Hindu religious folds by the mytho-historical king Nara…
