Product Description
This book explores the dynamic nature of pilgrimage, examining its evolution from spontaneous individual experiences to structured socio-political and religious systems. It investigates the complexities of ritual, meaning, and movement in pilgrimages worldwide, from India's sacred circuits in Varanasi, Bodh-Gaya, and Vijayanagara to Nepal, Japan, Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond. The author delves into the phenomenon of self-organization in pilgrimage traditions, tracing their transformation and resilience over time. Rich with case studies, this volume is essential for scholars, researchers, and those interested in the intersection of spirituality, culture, and history.
