Beyond Posture, Beyond Therapy

Kabir and Pedagogy
This essay discusses the virtues of hagiology-driven teaching and the pedagogical value of the saint in the religious studies classroom, focusing on how a series of class assignments and activities centered on the Indian devotional saint Kabir function in an undergraduate introductory-level religious studies course to effectively engage student learning, and develop students' understanding of the politics of religion and the crucial interplay of …
The Value of Tantra
This article examines the vibrant presence of tantric religiosity in contemporary India through a case study of a Mumbai-based tāntrika, whom we call Ramji Pandit, and of the ways in which his Tantra is co-constitutive of contemporary business practices and global market economies. We show how Ramji’s tantric ritual services – based firmly in mantras, yantras, and a “science” of vibrational resonance – trouble the conventional ways that religion …
Ascetics, kings, and the ‘triumphs’ of Vaiṣṇavism in Mughal India
This paper interrogates popular narratives regarding the spread of Vaiṣṇavism in early modern North India through an examination of the memory of the Rāmānandī ascetic and bhakti saint Krishnadās Payahārī. Payahārī is remembered as a pious, Nāth Yogi-defeating wonder worker as well as a powerful figure in the political sphere, directly responsible for the conversion of kings from Śaiva-Śākta tantric religion to Vaiṣṇava devotion. Examining oral t…
A Genealogy of Devotion
In this book, Patton E. Burchett offers a path-breaking genealogical study of devotional (bhakti) Hinduism that traces its understudied historical relationships with tantra, yoga, and Sufism. Beginning in India’s early medieval "Tantric Age" and reaching to the present day, Burchett focuses his analysis on the crucial shifts of the early modern period, when the rise of bhakti communities in North India transformed the religious landscape in ways …
Agradās and Rām Rasik Bhakti Community
Bodies of Song
The product of over a decade of research, Linda Hess's new book on oral-performative traditions of songs attributed to the fifteenth-century north Indian poet-saint Kabir is remarkable for the insight it brings to a wide range of important topics—among them, the relationship of textuality and orality, the question of “authenticity,” the embodied experience of oral-performative traditions, and the tension between “outer” sociopolitical struggles a…

Bhakti Rhetoric in the Hagiography of ‘Untouchable’ Saints
The 'Magical' Language of Mantra
This paper aims to illuminate the phenomenon of mantras and to critique the category of magic through an examination of mantra as magical language. Mantras have often been referred to as "magic formulas" or "spells," yet one searches the scholarly literature in vain for a worthy explanation of precisely why mantra should or should not be considered magical. This essay addresses this lack, (a) explaining how mantra's conflict with modern Western u…
