SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Sri Sabhapati Swami and the "Translocalization" of Sivarajayoga
DESCRIPTION:Keith Cantú’s talk will center on the life and yogic literature of the Tamil yogi Sri Sabhapati Swami (Capāpati Cuvāmikaḷ\, 1828–1923/4). The first part of the talk will consist of an overview of Sabhapati’s life and historical context\, including his interactions and falling out with the founders of the Theosophical Society\, his literature and visual diagrams in numerous prestige and Indian vernacular languages\, his Śaiva yogic cosmology and perspectives on Hindu traditions and other religions\, and his network of “admirers” and students across South Asia. Cantú will then shift to a more open-ended discussion about the theoretical framework of global “translocalization\,” including evidence for pan-Indian “mesolocalization\,” and will argue that in Sabhapati’s case this kind of framework is useful when analyzing the ways in which religious ideas travel and change when circulating between local\, mesolocal\, and translocal audiences in the modern period. \nKeith Edward Cantú will receive his doctoral degree in Religious Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, this spring (2021). A specialist in South Asian religions\, he is the co-editor of City of Mirrors: Songs of Lālan Sā̃i\, a volume of nineteenth-century Bengali songs translated by Carol Salomon. He is also the author of several peer-reviewed articles and book chapters\, including “Islamic Esotericism in the Bengali Bāul Songs of Lālan Fakir\,” a translation of the “Eighth Instruction” of a Sanskrit alchemical text called the Rasāyanakhaṇḍa about the alchemical wonders of Śrīśailam\, and “Sri Sabhapati Swami: The Forgotten Yogi of Western Esotericism.” \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Willing Ethnic-Nationalists\, Diffusion\, and Resentment: A Micro-Foundational Account
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND DISCUSSION \nUsing evidence concerning the consolidation of Hindu nationalism in India\, Aseema Sinha presents new ethnographic data about the variety of popular support for the Hindutva project and proposes an interactive theory of social identity. This framework helps us understand how Hindu nationalism becomes embedded in society. She argues that Hindu nationalism in India could be fruitfully analyzed by focusing on the processes through which ideas of exclusive nationalism spread among middle classes and are expressed in micro-level psychological changes at the individual level. The consolidation of Hindu nationalism in India is being authored not only by parties and the state but also by societal actors\, and more specifically ordinary middle-class Indians. Hindu nationalism has been spreading in micro-public spheres in times of apparent peace and between elections and with the participation of willing supporters\, bystanders\, and hardliners. Sinha suggests the need to focus on interlinked micro-level mechanisms such as diffusion and emulation of Hindu-centric beliefs and ideas\, mobilization by hardliners and organizations\, and impunity protected by state agencies. \nAseema Sinha is the Wagener Chair of South Asian Politics and George R. Roberts Fellow in the Government Department at Claremont McKenna College. Her research interests focus on the political economy of India\, India-China comparisons\, and the rise of India as an emerging power. Her publications include The Regional Roots of Developmental Politics in India: A Divided Leviathan (Indiana University Press\, 2005)\, which was awarded the Joseph W. Elder Prize in the Indian Social Sciences by the American Institute of Indian Studies. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group \nATTEND DISCUSSION
