Description

"Bhakti, an influential religious perspective in India, has long been of interest to scholars; from the orientalists, who drew upon Sanskrit sources in their definition of bhakti as devotion to a personal deity, to modern scholars, who have explored bhakti poetry and the legends of its authors through sources in the regional languages of India. In this interpretive history of bhakti, both chronicle and comparison are used to identify and analyze bhakti as understood by various Tamil Siva-bhakti authors and authorities."--BOOK JACKET.
