Editorial research project
वारकरी संप्रदाय
The Way of the Varkaris
A research project on the eight-century Varkari tradition of Maharashtra: the standing god at Pandharpur, the sants who carried the name, the abhanga as theological act, the road that walks itself each Ashadha.
Begin Here
The vow, the doctrine, and the standing god. What the Varkari sangha claims, and the figure on the brick at Pandharpur.
The Sants
The lineage of voices the tradition has preserved, in chronological order.
The Form
The abhanga as the carrier of this tradition's truth.
End Here
The Wari, walked each Ashadha for eight hundred years. What the body learns that the mind cannot.
A vow.
A road.
A song.
A god on a brick.
And the body that learns, by walking,
what cannot be told in any other way.
