Zusammenfassung:Religious Reading and Everyday Lives in Devotional Hinduism considers religious reading through a study of the Pushtimarg, a Hindu community whose devotional practices and community identity have developed in close relationship to a genre of prose hagiography written during the 17th century. Combining ethnographic fieldwork and close readings of Indian language texts, each chapter of the book showcases various ways in which devotees have performatively read and interpreted these hagiographies in ways that help them navigate between their roles as devotional caretakers of the Hindu deity Krishna and their social and familial obligations in the modern world.
