RLST 012 CM - Devotional Worlds of South Asia


This course introduces three major South Asian religious traditions-Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism-focusing on devotional movements and practices within each. We will consider medieval-to-modern South Asia as a site of rich literary and religious dialogue and exchange, and devotional expressions and practices (poetic, musical, visual, performative, meditative) as products of both the distinct traditions that claim them and the diverse religious landscapes in which they take place. Topics include the esoteric or “mystical”; place and community; saints and gurus; and reform, debate and dissent.

Course Credit: 1.0
