Despite the world-wide association of music and dance with religion, this is the first full-length study of the subject from a global perspective. The work consists of 3,816 references divided among 37 chapters. It covers tribal, regional, and global religions and such subjects as shamanism, liturgical dance, healing, and the relationship of music, mathematics, and mysticism. The referenced materials display such diverse approaches as analysis of music and dance, description of context, direct experience, observation, and speculation. The references address topics from such disciplines as sociology, anthropology, history, linguistics, musicology, ethnomusicology, theology, medicine, semiotics, and computer technology. Chapter 1 consists of general references to religious music and dance. The remaining 36 chapters are organized according to major geographical areas. Most chapters begin with general reference works and bibliographies, then continue with topics specific to the region or religion. This book will be of use to anyone with an interest in music, dance, religion, or culture.

Mandala Publishing Group was established in 1987 to increase awareness of and appreciation for the culture and philosophy of ancient India's Vedic tradition. The Vedas are the oldest and largest body of literature in existence. Although originally an oral tradition, its written language, Sanskrit, is known by linguists as the mother of all languages. The Vedas outline the natural role of individuals in harmony with both the metaphysical and spiritual worlds. Enlightening and inspiring us to progress toward a spiritual goal, Vedic wisdom reminds us of our true nature. Within the four Vedas, a divine conception of art, music, poetry, theology, medicine, and even economics describes a central aim of uplifting human society toward spiritual fulfillment. The mission of Mandala Publishing Group is to make this great knowledge accessible to today's readers. Mandala sponsors cultural dance performances, art exhibits, and work shops, and funds many architectural preservation projects in India's holy cities. Preserving diverse cultures and protecting the environment are synonymous in the Vedic tradition -- where consciousness is honored in all living things -- and throughout creation -- where the ultimate truth is beauty. We hope our readers will learn and benefit from this great tradition and apply its timeless wisdom in their daily lives. A unique contribution to studies in Indian dance.

The Celestial Dancers: Manipuri Dance on Australian Stage charts the momentous journey of the popularization of Manipur’s Hindu dances in Australia. Tradition has it that the people of Manipur, a northeastern state of India, are descended from the celestial gandharvas, dance and music blessed among them as a God’s gift. The intricately symbolic Hindu dances of Manipur in their original religious forms were virtually unseen and unknown outside India until an Australian impresario, Louise Lightfoot, brought them to the stage in the 1950s. Her experimental changes through a pioneering collaboration with dancers Rajkumar Priyagopal Singh and Ibetombi Devi modernized Manipuri dance for presentation on a global stage. This partnership moved Manipur’s Hindu dances from the sphere of ritualistic temple practice to a formalized stage art abroad. Amit Sarwal chronicles how this movement, as in the case of other prominent Indian classical dances and dancers, enabled both Manipuri dance and dancers to gain recognition worldwide. This book is ideal for anyone with an interest in Hindu temple dance, Manipur dance, cross-cultural collaborations and the globalizing of Indian Classical Dance. The Celestial Dancers is a comprehensive study of how an exceptional Hindu dance form developed on the global stage.
