BACHRACH, E., Religious Reading and Everyday Lives in Devotional Hinduism. Oxford University Press, 2023. 264p. Hardback. Series: AAR RELIGION IN TRANSLATION. Bachrach sensitively guides the reader into the contemporary life of the Pushtimarg's varta traditions with the vibrance of the satsang gatherings she portrays. While never losing her analytical distance, she insinuates herself into the performances of these texts so the reader cannot fail to gauge the emotional tenor of what these stories mean to their devotees. The boundary between text and auditor in the satsang dissolves in the act of reading and commenting, an embodied improvisation that transforms the vartas into a living canon. Tony K.
