Rituals Mantras and Science- An Integral Perspective
Jayant Burde
Rituals Mantras and Science- An Integral Perspective - 1st eed. - Delhi Motilal Banarsidass Publishers 2004 - 246
In this book the author discusses the places of science in rituals and mantras. Using structural analysis he shows that rituals in general, whether religious, political, social or otherwise have common structural patterns. These patterns are shared by poetry- music-dance and gymanastics- but not by language. Consideration of animal rituals and pathological rituals leads him to propose a general theory which unifies all rituals-like activities.
