Bhakti and Yoga: A Discourse in Seventeenth-Century Codices

Meer over het boek

The Dādūpanth religious order, originating in Rajasthan around 1600, created significant manuscripts that reflect the voices and decisions of their compilers and copyists, primarily sadhus who also utilized these texts. These large codices served as study manuals and homiletic tools, encapsulating the intellectual and religious landscape of their creators. They simultaneously transmit bhakti texts and yogic vernacular works, documenting the intricate dialogue between bhakti and yoga while exploring their commonalities and boundaries.
