There is a steady and growing scholarly, as well as popular
interest in Hindu religion - especially devotional (bhakti)
traditions as forms of spiritual practice and expressions of divine
embodiment. Associated with this is the attention to sacred images
and their worship. Attending Krishna's Image extends the discussion
on Indian images and their worship, bringing historical and
comparative dimensions and considering Krishna worship in the
context of modernity, both in India and the West. It focuses on one
specific worship tradition, the Chaitanya Vaishnava tradition of
the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, as it develops and sustains
itself in two specific locales. By applying the comparative
category of 'religious truth', the book provides a comprehensive
understanding of a living religious tradition. It successfully
demonstrates the understanding of devotion as a process of
participation with divine embodiment in which worship of Krishna's
image is integral.
