Book Description:

This book was entirely conceived and developed by K. Ishwaran. The original concept was to combine two of Ishwaran's major interests: comparative studies of the monastic systems of South Asia, and criticism of Western anthropological and sociological assumptions of tradition and modernity being antithetical, especially with regard to traditional religions. Later he conceived of broadening this topic by including major religious traditions around the world.
