There is a steady and growing scholarly and popular interest in
Hindu religious - 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. This book 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 14th to 16th centuries, as
it develops and sustains itself in two specific locales. By
applying the comparative category of "religious truth," the author
provides a comprehensive understanding of a living religious
tradition. He successfully demonstrates the understanding of
devotion as a process of participation with divine embodiment in
which worship of Krishna's image is integral.
A presentation of a traditional north Indian Krishna temple, which
represents an "embodied community" and a western Krishna temple to
represent a "missionizing tradition" of the Hari Krishnas
(ISCON-The International Society of Krishna Consciousness),
completes this analysis.
This book offers an original contribution to comparative religious
studies.
