Amiya P Sen

Chaitanya

A Life and Legacy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a short but critical attempt at historically reconstructing the life and times of the Hindu-Vaishnava mystic, Chaitanya, as also of the ways in which posterity perceived and appropriated him and his message in a variety of ways. It is thus that I try and link a life to its complex but enduring legacy.
