- W4238476719 abstract "Calling on concepts of religious experiences and institutionalization, this book explores the devotional movement of the enduring religious figure, Ānandamayī Mā, through the compelling question of what happens to a charismatic movement after the death (mahāsamādhi) of the guru. In her lifetime Mā Ānandamayī, also called the “Human Kālī” in Bengal, became arguably the most famous female religious leader in India, counting hundreds of thousands of followers, including personalities like Kamala Nehru, and her daughter Indira Gandhi, and was venerated in turn as a guru and avatar, incarnation of the Divine on Earth. While this study fills a current lacuna, by bringing together different scholarly perspectives in a dialogue on death and guruship, it also adds to the existing corpus of work on holy women in the Hindu tradition. It highlights a new vision of holiness by revealing a different way of venerating female gurus: that of the tomb’s cult. Mā Ānandamayī then represents a shift to female leadership in the world of Hindu guruship, and her grave (samādhi) is, in this sense, a symbol of the affirmation of the Divine Feminine. In addition, this study is a reflection of the globalization of religion, in that it reflects the West’s growing interest in the holy figures of Hinduism. Based on interviews and research, this book affords important insights into the explorations of gurus and devotion, thereby contributing to a better understanding of a community’s attempt in modern and postmodern times to sustain and enliven the worship of a renowned guru." @default.
