The political theology of bhakti
A special modus operandi in relationship with the deity and a multifaceted phenomenon in the religious and political life of India, in the last century bhakti has been interpreted as an integrating “movement” and an ideal of egalitarianism. It has been ascribed a huge role in democratizing the country and transforming the heterogeneous social groups comprising disparate ethnicities into a unified society and a nation. In the Marathi-speaking regi…
The political theology of bhakti
Bhakti is one of the most modern words in India, although it dates back to 2,000-year-old texts of Buddhism and Hinduism. In practical terms, bhakti is found in a variety of contexts, renewed with a change of historical milestones and embedded in a wide range of theological schemes. Since the nineteenth century it has been used as a tool resourcefully adapted to social and political needs. In either performance, bhakti remains in demand as a mode…
The Tool of Domestic Labour in the Iconography of Janabai’s Temples in Maharashtra
The article deals with a unique object of temple worship from Maharashtra, a Marathi-speaking region of Western India, represented by a tripartite structure having a grindmill as its middle section. The motives for such a layout are found in the poetry of the medieval maid-servant Janabai (13th – 14th centuries), who described in her hymns her love for the god Vitthal / Vithoba from Pandharpur and their special bonds, including his help in grindi…
South Asia
South Asia’ in its present meaning was coined in the late 1940s following a reinterpretation of previous approaches to the study of the (ancient) Orient, which proved to be ill-suited under the conditions of the Second World War. The author of the concept was the American Indologist W. Norman Brown (1892–1975) who thus designated almost the entire territory of British India and founded the Department of South Asia Regional Studies at the Universi…

Covid-19 in India. Mistress’ mango box and maid’s wages (a nethnographic experiment from self-isolation)
The article is part of a study of the position and role of domestic servants in South Asia and deals with the middle class practice established in modern India of using paid helpers to provide for household sustainability. Due to cheapness of such services and absence of the regulations and contracts between employer and employee, the relationship between masters and servants, despite their mutual dependence, remains largely unsettled. This aspec…

Janabai and Gangakhed of Das Ganu
The Varkari tradition of the Marathi-language area of Western India is characterised by devotion to the god Vitthal of Pandharpur as well as the medieval saint-poets who praised him in songs and longed for his company. Modern narratives present Janabai, a poetess who lived presumably during the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries, as one of the Varkari saint-poets. Her rise to fame started in the last decade of the nineteenth century, and by the 1…

The report of the regional conference (Dhaka, Bangladesh, June 2019) affiliated with the International Association for the History of Religions presents conceptual analysis of the papers brought together by the ‘river’ theme. Most of them focused on various aspects of the reciprocal connection and interdependence of rivers as natural water resource and religions as a socio-cultural construct. It also provides an analysis of the impact of religiou…
Bharata’s bibhatsa-rasa , Shudraka’s Mrcchakatika and Christian missionaries’ disgust
The ancient Indian aesthetic theory identifies bībhatsa , “disgust / aversion”, as one of the nine sensory states that determine the mood of dramatic and poetic works and by means of visual / verbal techniques affect a spectator/a reader. This term from Bharata’s Nāṭyaśāstra was adopted by Christian missions in India and used as an argument against the cultural traditions of the conquered subcontinent. The translation into Marathi (1864) of The L…

The Indian state Maharashtra is widely known for its god Vithoba / Vitthal / Pandurang, a regional incarnation of Krishna. The main temple of Vithoba located in the town of Pandharpur on the Bhima River is a sacred destination of a grand annual pilgrima…
