Description: Hanuman's Tale by Philip Lutgendorf Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Hanuman, the Hindu monkey-god, is best known in the west for his role in the epic "Ramayana". This book examines Hindu literature, art, and ritual, and shows that Hanuman is the most beloved deity in the Hindu pantheon. It offers a comprehensive examination of this figure, exploring the facets of his legend. Publisher Description Hanuman, the devoted monkey helper of Rama and Sita, has long been recognized as a popular character in Indias ancient Ramayana epic. But more recently he has also become one of the most beloved and worshiped gods in the Hindu pantheon - enshrined in majestic new temples, but equally present in poster art, advertising, and mass media. Drawing on Sanskrit and vernacular texts, classical iconography and modern TV serials, and extensive fieldwork andinterviews, Philip Lutgendorf challenges the academic cliché of Hanuman as a "minor" or "folk" deity by exploring his complex and growing role in South Asian religion and culture. This wide-ranging study examinesthe historical evolution of Hanumans worship, his close association with Shiva and goddesses, his invocation in tantric ritual, his physical immortality and enduring presence in sacred sites, and his appeal to devotees who include scholars, wrestlers, healers, politicians, and middle-class urbanites. Lutgendorf also offers a rich array of entertaining stories not previously available in English: an expanding epic cycle that he christens the "Hanumayana." Arguing that Hanumans roleas cosmic "middle man" is intimately linked to his embodiment in a charming and provocative simian form, Lutgendorf moves beyond the Indian subcontinent to interrogate the wider human fascination withanthropoid primates as boundary beings and as potent signifiers of both Self and Other.
