In ancient Indian doctrine and legends, mantras perceived by .rishis .(seers) invoke deities and have transformative powers. Adopting a methodology that combines scholarship and practice, Mani Rao discovers a continuing tradition of visionaries (.rishis./seers) and revelations in south India’s Andhra-Telangana. Both deeply researched and replete with fascinating narratives, the book reformulates the poetics of mantra-practice as it probes practical questions. Can one know if a vision is real or imagined? Is vision visual? Are deity-visions mediated by culture? If mantras are effective, what is the role of devotion? Are mantras language? .Living Mantra. interrogates not only theoretical questions, but also those a practitioner would ask: how does one choose a deity, for example, or what might bind one to a guru? Rao breaks fresh ground in redirecting attention to the moments that precede systematization and canon-formation, showing how authoritative sources are formed. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | mantra; tantrism; religious practice; Hindu deities; gurus; seers; visionary experience; Andhra-Telengana; I | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96391-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-07184-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-96391-4Series ISSN 2946-3475 Series E-ISSN 2946-3483 | | issn_series | 2946-3475 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
