Abstract [en]

The book "Bhakti in Vaiṣṇava Traditions" provides a comprehensive exploration of the diverse dimensions of bhakti (devotion) within the Vaiṣṇava traditions of India. Vaiṣṇavism, a major pillar of India's spiritual heritage, is deeply rooted in the practice of bhakti, which signifies intense love and devotion towards the divine. The book is divided into three sections: Bhāgavata Purāṇa and Bhagavad Gītā, Bhakti in Vedanta, and Regional Traditions. The first section examines the foundational texts of bhakti—Bhāgavata Purāṇa and Bhagavad Gītā—which articulate the profound relationship between the devotee and the divine. Through themes such as divine līlās (cosmic plays), devotional aesthetics, and interpretative roles of commentators, this part illuminates the transformative power of unwavering devotion. The second section addresses bhakti within Vedāntic philosophy, with a focus on Śaṅkara's Advaita Vedanta and its evolution in the writings of Rāmānuja, Svāminārāyaṇa, Nimbārka, and Madhusūdana Sarasvati. It explores how each of these Vedāntic traditions conceptualizes and integrates bhakti, offering a nuanced view of the diverse philosophical frameworks within Vaiṣṇavism. The final section delves into the regional manifestations of Vaiṣṇava bhakti, covering traditions such as the Vārkarī movement, Caitanya Vaiṣṇavism, and Braj Vaiṣṇavism. This section captures the rich cultural and devotional expressions that vary across regions, further illustrating the dynamic and multifaceted nature of bhakti within Vaiṣṇava practice. Through its examination of scriptural texts, philosophical developments, and regional traditions, this book presents a vivid portrait of the role of bhakti in shaping the spiritual landscape of Vaiṣṇavism.
