The History Of Medieval Vaishnavism In Orissa

About the Book:-The name of the book requires some explanation. The author has divided this book into three periods, early, medieval and modern. The history of early Vaishnavism in Orissa is obscure, and cannot be systematically traced. The medieval period begins from the eleventh century A.D., with the accession of Chodaganga on the throne of Kalinga. Vaishnavism not only predominated during this period, but it also absorbed certain ideas from the existing schools of faith in Orissa. This catholicity of spirit was the distinguishing feature of the Medieval Vaishnavism. In the sixteenth century A.D. the Chaitanya Movement spread in Orissa and the Medieval Vaishnavism decayed. The Modern Vaishnavism in Orissa is an offshoot of the Chaitanya Movement. This book carries our knowledge of a very interesting aspect of India’s religion history a long step forward. In this collection of studies the author has not only brought the fruits of former research together in a compact form but also directed a critical and attached mind to a fresh valuation of the evidence.
