| Sumario: | Calling on concepts of religious experiences and institutionalisation, this book explores the devotional movement of the enduring religious figure, Ānandamayī Mā, through the compelling question of what happens to a charismatic movement after the death (mahāsamādhi) of the guru. In her lifetime Mā Ānandamayī became arguably the most famous female religious leader in India, counting hundreds of thousands of followers, including Kamala Nehru, and her daughter Indira Gandhi, and was venerated in turn as a guru and avatar, incarnation of the Divine on Earth. |
