N. Bhattacharyya to understand the principles which led to the emergence of the rites of the life-cycle and their functional role in different spheres of human thought and eneavour. Analysis and correlation of the basic conceptual aspects as gleaned from the puberty rites and their derivative customs and institutions have been utilized to understand certain features of ancient Indian social and religious life. The facts derived from ancient literature, especially from the \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/book\/Hindu\/sanskrit\"\u003eSanskrit\u003c\/a\u003e sources, have been studied in the light of what is known of the surviving tribal and popular customs and institutions. Like other works of Dr. Bhattacharyya, the present volumes is also expected to evoke much interest among the readers and to become effectively helpful for those who are working in the field of Indian social history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dr. Narendra Nath Bhattacharyya (b. 1934) is the well known author of \u003ci\u003eIndian Mother Goddess (1970, 1977), History of Indian Cosmogonical Ideas (1971), History of the Sakta Religion (1974), History of Indian Erotic Literature (1975), Ancient Indian Rituals and Their Social Contents (1975), and Jain Philosophy: Historical Outline (1976)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Dr. Bhattacharyya teaches social and religious history in the Department of Ancient Indian History and Culture, Calcutta University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col type=\"1\" start=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eINTRODUCTION \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE MENSTRUAL BLOOD: SACRED AND ACCURSED\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMENSTRUAL RITES \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE CEREMONIAL DEFLORATION \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTHER FORMS OF PUBERTY RITES\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE TABOOS AND KEEPING OFF EVIL SPIRITS\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPANAYANA: INIATION OF THE TWICE-BORN \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEDUCATION AND STUDENTHOOD\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRELIGIOUS INITIATIONS\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE IDEA OF REBIRTH\u003cp\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Occultnthings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44633983844653,"sku":"ISA14","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/2117\/products\/indian_puberty_rites_isa14.jpg?v=1677868711","url":"https:\/\/occultnthings.com\/fr\/products\/indian-puberty-rites-isa14","provider":"Occult-N-Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
