FYI

-----

This  is  an insightful, erudite, balanced  and lucidly written study.
 A rare, successful combination of the religious and Indian studies
approaches. It deserves to be read widely, in spite of the "exotic"
language in which it is written.

Giovanni Casadio

«Nothing beyond the Vedas». With these words Angelo Brelich opens the
section on literary sources of Hinduism in his handbook on the history
of religion to introduce the methodological difficulties encountered
in studying the history of ancient Hinduism. With the same words I
would introduce the methodological issues that arise when studying the
history of religions in ancient India through the sources at disposal.
It is a matter of fact that, as far as the study of ancient Brahmanism
concerns, any historian of religious texts has to face the same
problem: little or nothing beyond the Vedas. This is the framework in
which I will focus on the symbolical practice that has come to
represent the Vedic tradition: the yajña or more commonly the ‘Vedic
sacrifice’. On the one hand the yajña practice had been codified,
systematised, and then placed at the very center of the religious
discourse by different groups of specialists who were engaged in
teaching ritual practices and preserving transmission; at the same
time it has been qualified and re-qualified as ‘institute’, and
brought in the theological discussions that had been preserved in the
Vedas. On the other hand the yajña practice has been receipted,
interpreted, and re-interpreted by the scholarship in their academic
disciplines – first of all, anthropologists, philologists, and
historians of religion who considered the ‘sacrifice’ an adequate
category to interpret the historical complexity of the Brahmanical
institute. The ‘struggle for sacrifice’, that gives the title to this
volume, is therefore a paradigm to bring under the eyes of everyone –
specialists and not – the underlying debate within the Brahmanical
tradition and also the discussions arisen among the intellectual
producers of the religious discourse from the XIX century up until
today.
