商品簡介
Most of the research on Hinduism in Britain has focused on Vaisnavism or Hindu-based religiosity transplanted to the West by Indian gurus, explains Geaves (religion, Liverpool Hope U.), and he intends to redress the imbalance by discussing Saivite Hindu traditions in the South Asian diasporas. He explores two manifestations of Skanda worship that came to the West with people who migrated from the Punjab in North India during the 1960s and 1970s, and with Tamil-speaking populations from Sri Lanka during the 1980s.
