Kozah concludes that a process of Islamisation is employed through a meticulous systematization of Hindu beliefs into one “Indian religion”, preceding by almost a millennium the earliest definitions of Hinduism by nineteenth-century European Orientalists. This formulation of Hinduism draws on Bīrūnī’s interpretation of Yoga psychology articulated in the Kitāb Bātanjal , his Arabic translation of the Yoga-Sūtra of Patañjali. Bīrūnī’s Islamic reading of Hinduism relies on certain common denominators that he identifies as being of fundamental importance. In the case of Hinduism he identifies metempsychosis as its unifying banner.Islamic philosophy, theology, and science ;Volume 97.YogaHistoryPhilosophy, IndicIndiaCivilizationStudy and teachingIslamic EmpireYogaHistory.Philosophy, Indic.181.452Kozah Mario1976-1622844MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811357203321The birth of indology as an Islamic science3956923UNINA
