| 520 | |a "The Meeting of Rivers reconstructs the prehistory of India's newest religion, Vīraśaivism or Liṅgāyatism, from its own voices, drawing on unstudied and unpublished archival sources in several south Indian languages. By radically reframing our understanding of the origins of Vīraśaivism, it provides a counterpoint to inherited models of both Hindu devotional traditions as well as the history of vernacularization in South Asia. According to conventional wisdom, Vīraśaivism was a strictly monolingual, vernacular devotional (bhakti) movement, restricted to the Kannada language, born in the twelfth century as a social protest against caste and the retrogressive Sanskrit language. The voice of the archive, however, tells a different story: Vīraśaivism was a multilingual religion from its inception. Its rejection of caste never entailed the rejection of Sanskrit; rather, its Sanskrit inheritance is pivotal to understanding the tradition's enduring legacy of anti-caste sentiment"-- Provided by publisher | ||
