Synopsis

Institutionalization is the focus of this volume. It refers to the means by which value orientations become operative in the interactions of people. Thirteen chapters document the institutionalization of devotional, reformist, radical or millenarian socio-religious value orientations in Shaiva, Shakta, Vaishanva, Arya Samaj, Satnami, Mahima Dharma, Sikh, Jain, Christian, Munda, Santal and Oraon context. The collection is organized into four sections each dealing with a paticular area of institutionlization, 1: the socio-cultural orientation and control of sacred spaces/ 2: the fuctioning of religious leadership/ 3: the formation of religions/ 4: the institutioal impact of sacred texts and rituals.
