Borayin Larios, University of Vienna, Austria.
"Overall, this is a highly readable and informative study that
should interest anthropologists, historians of
religion, Indologists, and scholars of orality, literacy, and
knowledge systems in South Asia." Finnian M.M. Gerety in: Bulletin
of the School of Oriental and African Studies 2/2018, 374-376
"Embodying the Vedas is a rare book indeed, because few scholars
possess the interdisciplinary skills necessary to execute such an
ambitious project. Its rarity underscores its importance, however,
for despite well over a century of scholarly work on the Vedic
tradition, there has been precious little theorization of the very
thing which has allowed the tradition to survive three millennia:
its pedagogy." Caley Charles Smith in: Reading Religion, https:
//readingreligion.org/books/embodying-vedas (26.02.2021) "Fond�e
sur des observations pr�cises mais situ�es et interpr�t�es dans le
cadre g�n�ral de l'hindouisme, r�dig�e avec clart�, cette enqu�te
apporte du neuf. Il serait int�ressant de la rapprocher d'autres
formes de transmission de la Parole ou du Livre, en particulier
dans le juda�sme et dans l'islam. Plus largement, elle offre
mati�re � r�flexion sur les relations entre parole et rite,
�criture et communaut� croyante."
J. Scheuer in: Nouvelle revue th�ologique 140/3 (2018), 511 "La
combinazione di prospettiva etnografica e analisi testuale, che
Larios � in grado di proporre grazie alla sua duplice formazione,
rende il testo pregevole e in qualche modo unico, capace di
rispondere a domande centrali degli studi storico-religiosi
moderni: come il passato si combina con il presente e come questo
rapporto si sviluppa nella quotidianit� dell'induismo
contemporaneo." Pietro Chierichetti in: Humanitas 73(2/2018),
339-341 "With detailed ethnographic work and perceptive theoretical
discussions, Embodying the Vedas is essential reading for anyone
interested in the Vedas, modern Vedic practice, Brahmin
identity, and Hindu religious education." Charles S. Preston in:
International Journal of Hindu Studies 24/2020, 419-420
