9780950868028 - Gurus Rediscovered: Biographies of Sai Baba of Shirdi and Upasni Maharaj of Sakori von Shepherd, Kevin R.D. (3 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. The pages are lightly tanned. Two distinctive saints of Maharashtra are here portrayed. The author contends that Shirdi Sai Baba (d. 1918) was a Muslim Sufi, and can be linked associatively with the majazib trend of Bijapur and other places in earlier centuries. This approach is in contrast to the "Hinduising" interpretations formerly dominant. Shepherd controversially presents Shirdi Sai and Upasni Maharaj (d. 1941) as a continuum, thus supporting the Hindu dimension to events discussed. This book was the genesis of the author's later work Investigating the Sai Baba Movement. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
