  • Self-Mortification and Self-Discipline in the Indian Wrestler As Discussed
    Self-Mortification and Self-Discipline in the Indian Wrestler As discussed in Chapter Ten of Introducing Anthropology of Religion, Hindu society traditionally valorized self-mortification and asceticism not only for the religious “professional” like the monk or yogi but also for all males, who could and ideally should enter into the role or life-stage of samnyasa in later life. A Sanskrit word that means “abandonment” or “renunciation” (literally, “laying down everything”), it was a time for the sannyasin (male renouncer) and occasionally the sannyasini (the female renouncer) to “develop a categorically asocial attitude and style of life: he must go through life naked, alone, wandering, celibate, begging, fasting, and silent” (Alter 1992: 318). While we might profitably think of the religious ascetic as a sort of spiritual athlete, it is also worth considering that the athlete may be a sort of ascetic and renouncer. In pursuing with singular focus their goal, both may “lay down everything” in their quest for discipline and control, on the common premise of “No pain, no gain.” According to Joseph Alter, the practitioner of wrestling (pahalwani) in India “seeks to integrate ascetic values into the practice of everyday life by drawing a direct line between ascetic values, wrestling discipline, and the moral duty of the common citizen” (319). Like athletes in other societies, the “spatial, social, and substantive locus of a wrestler’s life is his akhara (gymnasium)”; unlike athletes in many societies, “Hindu akharas are dedicated to Hanuman, the wrestler’s patron deity” (319). In addition to the famous monkey-god, the gyms also feature “smaller shrines dedicated to Shiva, other gods and goddesses, and local saints.

    Religion and Gender 9 (2019) 27–49 brill.com/rag A Female Shankaracharya? The Alternative Authority of a Feminist Hindu Guru in India Antoinette E. DeNapoli Texas Christian University [email protected] Abstract This article examines the practices through which a female religious leader (guru) in India by the name of Trikal Bhavanta Saraswati (in shorthand, “Mataji”) constructs women’s alternative authority in a high powered lineage of male Hindu gurus called Shankaracharyas. Mataji’s appropriation of the Shankaracharya leadership demon- strates an Indic example of “dharmic feminism,” by virtue of which she advocates the female as normative and, through that radical notion, advances a dharmic platform for gender equality in institutions in which women rarely figure among the power elite. Through narrative performance, Mataji reshapes the boundaries of religious lead- ership to affirm new possibilities for female authority in a lineage that has denied women’s agency. Exploring her personal experience narratives and the themes they illuminate can shed light on why her leadership intervenes in an orthodox lineage of male authority to exercise alternative authority and exact transformation of contem- porary Hinduism.

Anthropology - Dissertations. 93. https://surface.syr.edu/ant_etd/93 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagawan Ram Ji, a well-established saint of the holy city of Varanasi in north India, initiated many changes into the erstwhile Aghor tradition of ascetics in India. This tradition is regarded as an ancient system of spiritual or mystical knowledge by its practitioners and at least some of the practices followed in this tradition can certainly be traced back at least to the time of the Buddha. Over the course of the centuries practitioners of this tradition have interacted with groups of other mystical traditions, exchanging ideas and practices so that both parties in the exchange appear to have been influenced by the other. Naturally, such an interaction between groups can lead to difficulty in determining a clear course of development of the tradition. In this dissertation I bring together micro-history, hagiography, folklore, religious and comparative studies together in an attempt to understand how this modern day religious-spiritual tradition has been shaped by the past and the role religion has to play in modern life, if only with reference to a single case study.
