Book excerpt: This book deals with the rules of art. More specifically, it treats of the unwritten rules of Nepalese religious art as laid down in ‘model books’. These can be seen as manuals for the artists, in which they can find the correct way to represent, in visual art, any of some 2000 godly figures. The representation of these gods, all of them with their particular attributes, was (and is) subject to more or less strict rules. These books, the kind of which is also found in Europe in the early Middle Ages, have developed into a special tradition in Nepal, where a unique number of model books was found to be in existence, the oldest of them going back to the 15th century. The author of this study (the first in its kind) has traced the development in time of some 150 popular Hindu deities to determine the meaning of these model books for the artists using them, and also to see if the representation of these gods is in any way related to changes in society.

Book excerpt: Bhairava Ashtotthara Shatanama stotra ( hundred and eight names of bhairava) - the bhairava stavaraja is from rudrayamala tantra, the hymn is made of hundred and eight names of vatuka bhairava - the one who lifts us up from all kinds of troubles, dangers and calamities. There are various dangers, troubles and calamities in this world. One can even feel sometimes that the whole life is just a struggle. Until we realize our true self. Atman which is beyond every duality (heat and coldness, brightness and darkness etc.)We definitely need help and strength in crossing over the samsara (the cycle of birth and death) we surrender to the god in a form which we feel we can connect with easily. Bhairava is none other than Shiva, he manifested as bhairava the apaduddharana to bless us and guide us through the troubles and dangers and protect us from them and make it easier for us. Human life is very precious as it has everything required to become a seeker and realize the true self which is non dual to supreme absolute god. So in times of danger, we do our part to protect ourselves from calamities both internally and externally. We pray, we seek help from the higher power. Though our ultimate aim is self-realization, we simply seek help in handling the worldly situations which forms an obstacle in our quest of highest spiritual truth. For those who do not have self-realization as the aim or destination, chanting this hymn will slowly and gradually guide in that path while blessing the worldly needs which are righteous and harmless. Bhairava not only saves us from dangers but he guides us thoroughly in our spiritual path and leads us to the experience of self-realization, he is our guru, our god and our guardian. Because he is the one who grants success for the seekers say the sacred scriptures. This hymn is very powerful and is found in bhairavopasanadhyaya in the upasana stabhaka which is in dharma skanda of Brihad Jyotisharnava compiled by Harikrishna Vyankatarama. The hymn is also called bhairava stavaraja - the king of hymns of lord bhairava. There are various dangers, troubles and calamities in this world. One can even feel sometimes that the whole life is just a struggle. Until we realize our true self. Atman which is beyond every duality (heat and coldness, brightness and darkness etc.)We definitely need help and strength in crossing over the samsara (the cycle of birth and death) we surrender to the god in a form which we feel we can connect with easily. Bhairava is none other than Shiva, he manifested as bhairava the apaduddharana to bless us and guide us through the troubles and dangers and protect us from them and make it easier for us. The devotee who recites this hymn is blessed with health, wealth, prosperity, the enemies are pacified and is protected from all kinds of dangers and calamities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Hinduism is shaped, above all, by worship of a multitude of powerful divine beings--a superabundance indicated by the proverbial total of 330 million gods and goddesses. The fluid relationship between these beings and humans is a central theme of this rich and accessible study of popular Hinduism in the context of the society of contemporary India. Lucidly organized and skillfully written, The Camphor Flame brings clarity to an immensely complicated subject. C. J. Fuller combines ethnographic case studies with comparative anthropological analysis and draws on textual and historical scholarship as well. The book's new afterword brings the study up-to-date by examining the relationship between popular Hinduism and contemporary Hindu nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hindu sacred order is guarded by the very gods who violate it and the demons who oppose it. This book is a who's who of such transgressive figures, both familiar and unfamiliar, showing their place within the Hindu order that they violate. It is also a reflection of the serious scholarly debate over the nature and composition of this Hindu order. The chapters range from pan-Hindu deities such as Bhairava and Virabhadra to guardian gods of specific regions and lineages and of different goddess cults. Chapters cover violent themes in SAaivite hagiography, the position of Brahmans in relation to cultic carnivorism, guardian heroes in folk epic, the deified dead, the royal mythology of a "criminal caste," and a wide-ranging overview of transgressive sacrality.
