Publisher's Synopsis

This is the third thematic volume of Brill's Encyclopedia of Hinduism, which deals broadly with Hindu society. Readers will find articles on caste, family, age, and gender, as well as on religious specialists such as gurus, sadhus, healers, and astrologers. Religious traditions, presented in alphabetical order from Aghoris and Bauls to Vaikhanasa and Varkari Sampraday, feature prominently as one of the anchor sections. Another major section presents a thorough examination of Hindu philosophical traditions, including history, branches, and contemporary aspects.
