The sensuous human form-elegant and eye-catching-is the dominant feature of premodern Indian art. From the powerful god Shiva, greatest of all yogis and most beautiful of all beings, to stone dancers twisting along temple walls, the body in Indian art is always richly adorned. Alankara (ornament) protects the body and makes it complete and attractive; to be unornamented is to invite misfortune. In The Body Adorned, Vidya Dehejia, who has dedicated her career to the study of Indian art, draws on the literature of court poets, the hymns of saints and acharyas, and verses from inscriptions to illuminate premodern India's unique treatment of the sculpted and painted form. She focuses on the coexistence of sacred and sensuous images within the common boundaries of Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu "sacred spaces," redefining terms like "sacred" and "secular" in relation to Indian architecture. She also considers the paradox of passionate poetry, in which saints praised the sheer bodily beauty of the divine form, and nonsacred Rajput painted manuscripts, which freely inserted gods into the earthly realm of the courts. By juxtaposing visual and literary sources, Dehejia demonstrates the harmony between the sacred and the profane in classical Indian culture. Her synthesis of art, literature, and cultural materials not only generates an all-inclusive picture of the period but also revolutionizes our understanding of the cultural ethos of premodern India.

This book examines three closely related questions in the process of canon formation in the Sikh tradition: how the text of the Adi Granth came into being, the meaning of gurbani, and how the Adi Granth became the Guru Granth Sahib. The censure of scholarly research on the Adi Granth was closely related to the complex political situation of Punjab and brought the whole issue of academic freedom into sharper focus. This book addresses some of these issues from an academic perspective. The Adi Granth, the sacred scripture of the Sikhs, means ‘first religious book’ (from the word ‘adi’ which means ‘first’ and ‘granth’ which means ‘religious book’). Sikhs normally refer to the Adi Granth as the Guru Granth Sahib to indicate a confession of faith in the scripture as Guru. The contents of the Adi Granth are commonly known as bani (utterance) or gurbani (the utterance of the Guru). The transcendental origin (or ontological status) of the hymns of the Adi Granth is termed dhur ki bani (utterance from the beginning). This particular understanding of revelation is based upon the doctrine of the sabad, or divine word, defined by Guru Nanak and the succeeding Gurus. This book also explores the revelation of the bani and its verbal expression, devotional music in the Sikh tradition, the role of the scripture in Sikh ceremonies, and the hymns of Guru Nanak and Guru Arjan.

Massimo suonatore di sitar e ambasciatore della cultura indiana nel mondo, Ravi Shankar ha trascorso gli anni dell’adolescenza come danzatore nella Parigi e nella New York glamour degli anni Trenta. Dopo aver studiato con il maestro di musica indostana Allauddin Khan, la prima parte della sua carriera è culminata nel tour del 1954 nella Russiva sovietica. Nel 1956, la decisiva incursione in Occidente lo ha reso il primo artista indiano a colmare il gap tra le due culture e a incoraggiare l’apprezzamento e la conoscenza della musica indiana in Europa e in America. Da affermato artista internazionale, Shankar ha poi continuato a vivere in India spostandosi frequentemente all’estero per incisioni, concerti e festival. L’incontro con George Harrison nel 1966 ha dato il via a una lunga amicizia e a una collaborazione dalla quale è nata l’idea di questo libro autobiografico. Raga Mala contiene una vasta collezione di immagini e documenti provenienti quasi interamente da archivi privati e presenta preziosi contributi di una grande varietà di amici, tra cui Yehudi Menuhin, Zubin Mehta e Philip Glass. I folli tempi dello stardom degli anni Sessanta – di Monterey, di Woodstock, del Concerto per il Bangladesh – sono narrati al contempo con gusto e distacco. In questo appassionato e schietto resoconto personale, Ravi Shankar, una delle stelle più luminose della musica del Ventesimo Secolo, mette in scena le stesse qualità in contrasto che distinguono la sua natura di uomo e di musicista: una miscela di fascino e candore, decoro e umiltà, profonda spiritualità e spontanea irriverenza.
