A subset of these Indo--Guyanese Americans, particularly middle class women as well as the 1.5-- and second generation, believes Guyanese Hinduism, the forms of Hinduism adapted to the Guyanese context, must adapt again to continue to be relevant to the community in their new home. Central to their call is questioning the religious authority of pandits. As I will discuss, pandits occupy a powerful position in Guyanese Hindu community that extends beyond the religious sphere. The key to their authority lies in their ability and skill to read and interpret Hindu scripture. However, I argue the realities of migration have resulted in a questioning of religious authority and how pandits read these texts. With some Guyanese Hindus uncertain of the reliability of their pandit’s reading of scriptural text, there is a desire to engage in a Hinduism untainted by the biases of pandits. The presumed truth held within Hindu scripture has inspired some devotees to return to the text or rather to engage the text on their own for the first time. As a result, new reading practices are appearing within the community, which encourages Guyanese Hindus to craft a Hinduism that will serve them.","PeriodicalId":42357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hindu Studies","volume":"39 18","pages":"122-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/jhs/hiaa010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41267127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Where is the tantric mainstream? Discussions with a Bengali Brahmin god-maker in Kolkata","authors":"J. Bradbury","doi":"10.1093/jhs/hiaa011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jhs/hiaa011","url":null,"abstract":"The idea of Hindu Tantra as an esoteric, transgressive, or otherwise fringe practice has been revised to account for a ‘tantric mainstream’ in Indian religious life. However, this tantric mainstream has been faintly reflected in the ethnographic record, which would be otherwise well--suited to explore how religious categories are formed in broader social contexts. The religious world of the Bhattacharyas, a Śākta Brahmin family from East Bengal that now lives in suburban Kolkata, evinces some of the challenges in identifying ‘the tantric’ while suggesting alternative framings of ritual practices. Tapan Bhattacharya, a member of the family in his sixties, not only conducted pūjās to the tantric goddess Dakṣiṇā Kālī in their household shrine; he also sculpted the clay statues of deities (pratimā) that were used in local community rituals. Tapan’s nephew, Souvik, drew upon tantric classifications to explain the relations between mainstream household and community pūjās on one hand, and transgressive rituals on the other. Tantra, as understood by members of this household, encompassed a much wider set of relations than conventional binaries of tantra/not-tantra have allowed for. Taking their cue, I locate mainstream Śākta Tantra within the broader contexts of their religious world and the categories that make sense therein, while ultimately recognising that this family’s framings of contemporary religious culture will be matched by other, competing perspectives.","PeriodicalId":42357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hindu Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"172-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/jhs/hiaa011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42335469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there exist key disjunctures in how Nagaraja is known, experienced and worshiped in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand by jāgar performers—low--caste ritual specialists, storytellers, and musicians—on the one hand, and high--caste temple priests, on the other. Temple priests were generally dismissive of the practices of the jāgar performers, often re--directing my interest in regional narratives of Nagaraja to the Sanskrit--language Bhagavadgita and Bhagavata Purana (the Gita--Bhagavat), which they saw as authoritative and ‘original' sources of oral and vernacular traditions. This interpretation, however, was highly contested by jāgar performers who articulated a non--essentialist, ritually efficacious, rhetorical, oral and vernacular ‘textual ontology.' Jāgar performers not only critiqued Brahminical notions of textual purity and essentialism but also assumptions within the academic study of Hinduism about the relationship between vernacular religious practices and textual Hinduism, or the so--called Great and Little traditions of Hinduism. By ‘textual ontology,' I describe how different relations to textual authority and knowledge in turn reveal distinctive ways of creating, knowing, and interacting with deities and the world. In challenging priestly and western scholarly notions of text, this article offers a radically different view of textual production, transmission, and authority.","PeriodicalId":42357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hindu Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"101-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/jhs/hiaa009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45761851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
