The book provides an in-depth look at the rituals, deities, and daily observances that define these unique communities, offering a comprehensive view of India's complex religious landscape during the early 20th century.By focusing on the lives of those living 'without the pale,' Stevenson captures a side of Indian spirituality often overlooked by more formal colonial-era scholarship.

With its careful observation and respectful inquiry, the work remains a vital contribution to the understanding of the vast plurality of faiths that coexist within India, highlighting the richness and diversity of the region's spiritual heritage through its detailed investigation of folk religion and marginalized group practices.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Format 155 x 215 mm, couverture représentant la cérémonie de la remise du cordon sacré au jeune prince Jam Saheed, 403 pages, que sui une bibliographie générale sommaire, important index glossaire(379-403). - 1. Histoire de la vie d'un brahmane : Naissance et pr…emière enfance - Le Cordon sacré - Fiançailles et préliminaires au mariage - Le mariage - Après le mariage - Le désir d'un fils - Offrandes funéraires - Le code pénal hindou - 2.

Adoration au temple : Adoration de Siva - Adoration de Visnu et autres cérémonies de temple - La fin de la route - Index-glossaire des mots sanskrits - Dans l'hindouisme, un Dvija (« deux-fois-né » en sanskrit) est un des membres des trois plus hautes castes ou varnas. Les brahmanes, kshatriyas et vaishyas sont inclus dans les Dvijas. Dvija est aussi un synonyme de brahmane. Un dvija est celui qui a accès à la connaissance du Véda. "Une personne née dans l'une de ces castes est supposée naître une seconde fois lors de l'Upanayana, quand elle est initiée à l'ultime quête de la vie Brahmopadesha (enseignement en ce qui concerne la nature du Brahman - l'ultime réalité). Dvija est la seconde étape que traverse un disciple védique (ou Brahmane). Un Dvija est gouverné par son Karma (à prendre dans le contexte d'actions disciplinaires). Sa conduite est une conduite cultivée. Sa vie est gouvernée par Dharma-Adharma (vrai et faux), Charya-Acharyam (bons et mauvais actes) et Vidhi-Nisheda (actions prescrites et proscrites) tels que fixés par les textes sacrés. Un Dvija fait ce qu'il doit faire plutôt que ce qu'il veut faire. Il ne fuit pas ce qui lui déplaît, mais il évite ce qui doit être évité. Les « étapes de la vie d'un homme deux-fois-né », ou Ashramas, sont traitées dans les Lois de Manu (Manusmriti) hindou. Selon ce concept, un membre des castes du Dvija (Brahmane, Kshatriya et Vaishya) doit subir quatre périodes dans sa vie : premièrement, en tant qu'étudiant Brahmacharya ; puis, en tant que maître de maison Grihastha ; puis il devrait vivre une retraite Vanaprastha ; et finalement, en tant qu'ascète Samnyasi. La Manusmriti précise certains détails, concernant ce qui est attendu de la part de l'individu lors d'un chaque étape". ( Wikipedia) Mise à jour du Samedi 27 Juin 2026.
