More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Although it is seen throughout the world, the worship of a living person as a manifestation of the divine finds some of its clearest expressions among the sants or gurus of North India. This book - the first to study the phenomenon - provides a coherent understanding of the movement as a whole, places it in a broader historical and comparative context, and demonstrates the ways in which santism draws from both Indic and Islamic religious milieux. Readership: students of Eastern religions.
