Mapping the chronology of bhakti: milestones, stepping stones, and stumbling stones
Valérie Gillet Ed. - Collection Collection indologie
Résumé
The chronology of the appearance, growth and development of this transformative movement is riddled with uncertainties, whether we consider literary or archaeological evidence. Each of the contributions to this volume addresses some aspect of the history of this movement in the South, and so, drawing on a wide range of disciplines - linguistics, philology, epigraphy, archaeology - they together contribute, each in its own way, to the mapping of the chronology of Bhakti. This volume is dedicated to our esteemed colleague Pandit R. Varadadesikan, a specialist of the Tamil sources of Vaisnavism, who recently retired after dedicating forty-four years of his life to a career in the Pondicherry Centre of the EFEO working to further understanding of Tamil and Manipravalam literature.
