Description

Bhakti and Embodiment: Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in K???a Bhakti explores the connections between bhakti and embodiment and is concerned with constructions of divine bodies and devotional bodies in K???a bhakti traditions in particular. It discusses the historical shift to post-Vedic bhakti traditions and the accompanying transformations. These reflections are grounded in an analysis of two case studies: the Bhagavata Pura?a, one of the most important scriptures in the Vai??ava bhakti canon, and the Gau?iya Vai??ava tradition, an important bhakti movement inspired by the sixteenth-century Bengali leader Caitanya.
