About the Book
This volume brings together eleven insightful essays that explore South Indian primary sources related to the phenomenon of Bhakti—personal devotion between a devotee and their god. Bhakti, broadly defined, plays a central role in shaping religious practices and spiritual expressions in South India, and these essays offer a deep dive into this devotion, its texts, and its cultural significance.
The book is dedicated to Pandit R. Varadadesikan, a specialist in the Tamil sources of Vaishnavism, whose work has greatly contributed to the understanding of Bhakti in the South Indian context. The essays in this volume offer a scholarly examination of the historical, theological, and literary aspects of Bhakti, with a focus on Tamil Vaisnavism and its devotional traditions.
