Vedic Practice, Ritual Studies and Jaimini’s Mīmāṃsāsūtras
Drawing on insights from Indian intellectual tradition, this book examines the conception of dharma by Jaimini in his Mīmāṃsāsūtras, assessing its contemporary relevance, particularly within ritual scholarship. Presenting a hermeneutical re-reading of the text, it investigates the theme of the relationship between subjectivity and tradition in the discussion of dharma, bringing it into conversation with contemporary discourses on ritual. The primary argument offered is that Jaimini’s conception of dharma can be read as a philosophy of Vedic practice, centred on the enjoinment of the subject, whose stages of transformation possess the structure of a hermeneutic tradition. Offering both substantive and methodological insights into the contentions within the contemporary study of ritual, this book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Hindu studies, ritual studies, Asian religion, and South Asian studies.
Jewels of Authority
The essays in this volume seek to introduce a level of theoretical analysis by means of close readings of situations in which women are given or denied authority in ritual and interpretive contexts. This approach encompasses not only how women are represented, but also particular strategies of debate about women, how women are depicted as negotiating certain kinds of authority; and how women might resist traditional authority in specific colonial and post colonial situations.
Stop Thinking
A fast-paced psychological thriller, this story will change the readers’ perspectives of the mechanisms of the world. While depicting technology as a double-edged sword, it transports you into the magical world of love, instinct and intuition. The bad guy in the story is invisible, but is a formidable force that is out to take control of the world in the most surreptitious way. (S)he is unstoppable and moves in a very fast and sophisticated manner. The protagonists, on the other hand are normal people who try hard to match the power of the antagonist. This book is not about the war between love and technology; rather it is a narrative of how technology and love coexist as the two most potent forces that drive modern human life. Every page of the book promises to be a cliffhanger with some spine-chilling moments. The endgame proves to be a breathtaking account of the coming together of primal powers to take on the might of the adversary that is growing in strength exponentially. Stop thinking… you are being heard!
