Āyurveda and Mind-Body Healing
Health and Popular Psychology
This article examines a small selection of popular anglophone publications on ayurveda, authored by three well-known US-based writer-practitioners: Robert Svoboda, Deepak Chopra and David Frawley. It argues that these individuals' interpretations of ayurveda's principles and practices are deeply influenced by popular psychology, and by the therapy culture that it has spawned in Euro-American contexts. These writers draw upon some key tenets of po…
Theory and Practice of Yoga
The following article attempts to bring together two complementary methods of reading the Rg-Veda, that of close textual analysis and that of historical, comparative linguistics. I will offer first a brief survey of the background from which the hymns derive, in terms of reconstructed linguistic ancestors, and then look into the early collection of the hymns. Thereafter a commentary is offered, making special reference to points of interest in hi…
Modern Ayurveda in Transnational Context
Ayurveda, the ancient system of Indian medicine rooted in Hindu and Buddhist cosmologies, remained relatively under-researched in the humanities and social sciences until the 1970s. It is only in the last four decades that it has received significant scholarly attention, from Indologists and Sanskritists, as well as historians, anthropologists and sociologists. In recent times, the volume of research on modern and transnational Ayurveda has grown…
Experiencing Divine Love

It focuses on a fast-growing and high-profile contemporary Hindu guru faith originating in India and attracting a transnational following. The organisation is led by a vastly popular female guru, Mata Amritanandamayi, whom devotees worship as an avatar and a healer of the ills of the contemporary world. By drawing upon multi-sited eth…

Modernity and its imbalances
This article explores the orientations towards 'modernity' among devotees of the popular female guru in contemporary India, Mata Amritanandamayi. It examines the understanding of modernity popularised by this guru and shows how this understanding informs the world views and lifestyles of her Indian followers. These followers, most of them educated, middle-class urbanites, are exposed to modernity in their everyday lives. The understanding of mode…

Guru choice and spiritual seeking in contemporary India
Processes of Secularization in Contemporary India
The perceived resurgence of Hindu nationalist sentiments in India, particularly since the 1990s, occupies centre-stage in much of the current academic writing on contemporary Hinduism. This preoccupation with politicized Hinduism has meant that other developments in contemporary Hindu society, which run contrary to the dominant trend, have tended to go relatively unnoticed in recent academic literature. One such development has to do with religio…
