Description

In Sivas Saints Gil Ben-Herut challenges common notions about the Virasaiva tradition in its nascent phases. By closely reading the saints stories in this text, Sivas Saints takes a more nuanced historical view than commonly-held notions about the egalitarian and iconoclastic nature of the early tradition, arguing instead that early bhakti (devotionalism) in the Kannada-speaking region was less-radical and more accommodating toward traditional religious, social, and political institutions than thought of today.
