This book establishes that the accepted academic definition of bhakti is a modern construction; and that it was artificially formulated by certain Western Indologists of the 19th century with the aid of criteria which had no relevance in the context of Hinduism. The process of its formulation has been examined historiographically in this critique to show how it had gradually taken shape between 1846 and 1909. The reasons for its subsequent incorporation in modern Indian scholarship have also been made clear. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach in this book, Dr. Sharma has grappled with many vital issues related to the bhakti theme. This is a reprint of the 1987 classic.

Bhakti and the Bhakti Movement: A New Perspective

Krishna Sharma

This work seeks to study sufism as a psycho-historical phenomenon. The author finds it efficacious to combat social and political upheavals which are brought about by prolonged political revolutions, associated with autocratic oppression and economic deprivation. This second of two volumes starts with a brief discussion of the mystical philosophy of Ibn Arabi. The work then deals with the Qadiriyya, Shattariyya, Naqshbandiyya and the Chichtiyya orders. It also analyses the role of Indian sufis in the wider Islamic world.

<p>An attempt has been made to trace out the most popular and common term 'raga', its origin, techniques and also the course of its development from the Vedic period to this modern age of science. It also narrates raga in actual forms and its development though ancient and medieval times and as it is practised and performed by musicians of the present times. The style of expression is easy to understand and didactic.</p>
