Hindu Bhakti Through Muslim Eyes: Islam and Caitanya Vaiṣṇavism in the Twenty-First Century

Hindu Bhakti Through Muslim Eyes puts the Caitanya Vaiṣṇava tradition of devotion to Krishna in scholarly conversation with Islam for the first time. It builds on a millennium of Muslim reflections regarding Hindu theology and practice, despite common assumptions that Hindus and Muslims are destined for misunderstanding and conflict.
