    This volume, Beyond Mother Goddesses: Mothers, Motherhood and Mothering at the Intersection with Religions, results from a collaborative project designed to provide the grounding for a reorientation of the study of motherhood and religions.

    Open AccessarkarARTICLECurrent Sociology2021Referências: 6

Breastfeeding is both glorified and strictly regulated in Ayurvedic texts. Several Vedic texts describe a range of ritual…
