Recenzii
Excavating the massive archive of the heretofore unexplored writings of the late nineteenth-century South Indian visionary Sri Sabhapati Swami, Keith Cantú's magisterial work opens vast new horizons in the field of Modern Yoga Studies. Essential reading for both scholars and practitioners.
A work of exceptional scholarship, this carefully crafted exploration of Sabhapati Swami's life and work demonstrates deft historical and linguistical detective-work. Cantú provides a transparent map of this Swami's previously under-appreciated reach and influence, an exemplary model for future explorations of vernacular transmissions of yoga. Sabhapati's legacy has both 'deep roots and far out branches' relevant to anyone interested in the development of yoga traditions as well as processes of knowledge transmission.
The book will be of much use to anyone interested in yogic studies, the history of modern Western esotericism, Tamil religion, and colonial Hinduism.
Bringing Sabhapati's literature into scholarly discussionthrough previously unanalyzed works, this book is an innovative approach to this lesser-known figure. This work may be of interest to linguists, historians of religion, and scholars ofcomparative religion and new religious movements.
