Book Summary
About the Book: G?hastha: The Householder in Ancient Indian Religious Culture
For scholars of ancient Indian religions, the wandering mendicants who left
home and family for a celibate life and the search for liberation represent an
enigma. The Vedic religion, centered on the married household, had no place for
such a figure. Much has been written about the Indian ascetic but hardly any
scholarly attention has been paid to the married householder with wife and
children, generally referred to in Sanskrit as g?hastha: "the stay-at-home." The
institution of the householder is viewed implicitly as posing little historical
problems with regard to its origin or meaning.This volume
