This claim is based on a continuous reverence to the oldest strata of religious authority within the Hindu traditions, the Vedic corpus, which began to be composed more than three thousand years ago, around 1750-1200 BCE. The Vedas have been considered by many as the philosophical cornerstone of the Brahmanical traditions (āstika); even previous to the colonial construction of the concept of "Hinduism." However, what can be pieced together from the Vedic texts is very different from contemporary Hindu religious practices, beliefs, social norms and political realities. This book presents the results of a study of the traditional education and training of Brahmins through the traditional system of education called gurukula as observed in 25 contemporary Vedic schools across the state of Maharasthra. This system of education aims to teach Brahmin males how to properly recite, memorize and ultimately embody the Veda. This book combines insights from ethnographic and textual analysis to unravel how the recitation of the Vedic texts and the Vedic traditions, as well as the identity of the traditional Brahmin in general, are transmitted from one generation to the next in contemporary India.BrahmanismIndiaMaharashtraHinduism and educationIndiaMaharashtraHinduism, Vedic Schools, priestly education, Gurukula, Modern India, Ethno-Indology(DE-601)104409630(DE-588)4053474-1Schulegnd(DE-601)10558391X(DE-588)4146441-2Brahmanismusgnd(DE-601)106076426(DE-588)4078752-7Vedismusgnd(DE-601)106148036(DE-588)4058216-4StudiumgndRELIGION / Hinduism / GeneralbisacshElectronic books.Hinduism, Vedic Schools, priestly education, Gurukula, Modern India, Ethno-Indology.BrahmanismHinduism and educationHinduism, Vedic Schools, priestly education, Gurukula, Modern India, Ethno-Indology.SchuleBrahmanismusVedismusStudiumRELIGION / Hinduism / General.294.5/921071Larios Borayin, 978194Lubin Timothy, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996308826803316Embodying the Vedas2229169UNISA01113nam a2200325 i 450099100145521970753620020507193751.0951205s1994 us ||| | eng 0821841246b10849853-39ule_instLE01312510ExLDip.to Matematicaeng516.353AMS 14-06AMS 14JAMS 14P25AMS 57M25AMS 57RViro, Oleg537250Topology of manifolds and varieties /Oleg Viro, editorProvidence, R.
