For readers, it makes for a deeply enlightening journey. It also raises an interesting question: Is the reality of India powerful enough that it absorbs divergent expressions of religious tourism, making of them a common fabric? Here, so unusually, readers have the materials to decide. - John Stratton Hawley, author of A Storm of Songs: India and the Idea of the Bhakti Movement Author InformationAndrea Marion Pinkney is Associate Professor of South Asian Religions at McGill University.
