About the Book
This book explores the religious order of the Dadupanth, which originated in Rajasthan around the 1600s, and the rich manuscript culture it produced. The manuscript codices of this tradition, created by sadhus (ascetics), served as both study manuals and homiletic tools. These codices represent a chorus of voices that reflect the intellectual and religious cosmos of their makers, documenting not only the validity of texts but also the broader spiritual traditions at play.
The book examines how these manuscripts simultaneously transmitted bhakti texts, vernacular works of yogis, and broader Vaishnava traditions, providing a deep insight into the dialogue between bhakti (devotional worship) and yoga (spiritual practice). The author reveals how the boundaries and commonalities between these two practices were negotiated, offering a unique perspective on the intermingling of spirituality, religious philosophy, and textual culture within the Dadupanth order.
This volume is a key resource for scholars of history, religion, and South Asian studies, offering an in-depth look at the development of manuscript culture in Rajasthan and the intellectual and religious dynamics of the Dadupanth tradition.
