Book Description
Religious texts are not stable objects, passed down unchanged through generations. The way in which religious communities receive their scriptures changes over time and in different social contexts. This book considers religious reading through a study of the Pushtimarg, a Hindu community whose devotional practices and community identity have developed in close relationship with Vārtā Sāhitya (Chronicle Literature), a genre of Hindi prose hagiography written during the 17th century. Through hagiographies that narrate the relationships between the deity Krishna and the Pushtimarg's early leaders and their disciples, these hagiographies provide community history, theology, vicarious epiphany, and models of devotion. While steeped in the social world of early-modern north India, these texts have continued to be immensely popular among generations of modern devotees, whose techniques of reading and exegesis allow them to maintain the narratives as primary guides for devotional living in Gujarat-the western state of India where the Pushtimarg thrives today. Combining ethnographic fieldwork with close readings of Hindi and Gujarati texts, the book examines how members of the community engage with the hagiographies through recitation and dialogue in temples and homes, through commentary and translation in print publications and on the Internet, and even through debates in courts of law. The book argues that these acts of reading inform and are informed by both intimate negotiations of the family and the self, and also by politically potent disputes over matters such as temple governance. By studying the texts themselves, as well as the social contexts of their reading, Religious Reading and Everyday Lives in Devotional Hinduism provides a distinct example of how changing class, regional, and gender identities continue to shape interpretations of a scriptural canon, and how, in turn, these interpretations influence ongoing projects of self and community fashioning.

Book Description
અબ્રાહમ લિંકન, મહાત્મા ગાંધી, નેલ્સન મંડેલા, સ્ટીવ જોબ્સ. દરેક યુગને, દરેક જમાનાને, દરેક પ્રજાને એના હીરો મળે છે - એવા હીરો જે જાતે ઘસાઈને પોતાના સમયની પ્રજાને અને આવનારી પેઢીઓને ઊજળી બનાવે, ઈન્સ્પાયર કરે. ગુજરાતી પ્રજા માટે આવો જ એક મહાનાયક છે કરસનદાસ મૂળજી. ૨૮ વર્ષનો કપોળ યુવાન. મુંબઈમાં રહેતો. "સત્યપ્રકાશ' નામનું સાપ્તાહિક ચલાવતો. આ નવલકથા "મહારાજ લાયબલ કેસ' અને કરસનદાસ મૂળજીના જીવનની સત્ય ઘટનાઓ પર આધારિત છે. જે ઘટનાના પોત પર સમયના સળ પડી ચૂક્યા છે તેના પર કલ્પનાની ઈસ્ત્રી ફેરવીને નવલકથા લખવાની શું જરૂર હતી? જરૂર હતી. કારણ કે દોઢસો વર્ષ પહેલાંના એ જમાના પછી ઘણું બધું બદલાઈ ગયું છે. છતાં ઘણું બધું એમનું એમ જ છે. આજે પણ તમે છાપાંમાં ધર્માચાર્યોની લાલસાનો ભોગ બનતી કુમળી કન્યાઓના કિસ્સા વાંચો છો. શ્રદ્ધાની જ્યોત ડગમગતી હોય ત્યારે એને ફરી ઝગમગતી કરવાની કોશશિ "મહારાજ' નવલકથાના પાને પાને પ્રગટતી તમે જોઈ શકશો.
