"Devotional Spaces of a Global Saint focuses on the presence and contemporaneity of
Shirdi Sai Baba (d.1918), who has a vast following in postcolonial South Asia and
an ever-growing global diaspora. Essays consider the saint's influence on everyday
life and how visual, narrative, textual, sensorial, performative, political, social,
and spatial practices interpenetrate to produce multiple terrains of devotion. Contributions
by twelve scholars of several academic disciplines explore eruptions and circulations
of sacred materials, spatialities of devotional practices, visual and digital imaginaries,
transcultural narrativizations, and material affects and effects of Sai Baba. The
presentation transcends routine scholarly discussions about sainthood, cultures of
worship, religious objects, Hinduism and Islam. Shirdi Sai Baba's presence conveys
inspiration and healing energies and he accepted the entreaties of people of all castes
and creeds, offering an alternative to communal ideologies of his time - and the present.
Considerations of Shirdi Sai Baba's milieux of devotional praxis situate and localize
debates about the meaning of nation and religion, past and present, urbanization,
and class identity in transitions from colonial to postcolonial/global South Asia.
The book expands the boundaries of the study of Shirdi Sai Baba and makes important
contributions to South Asia Studies, Anthropology, Religious Studies, Global Studies,
Urban Studies, Indian Ocean Studies, Inter-Asian Studies, Visual and Media Studies,
and Cultural Geography"
