Book excerpt: The ascetic, devotional sect known as the Mahanubhavs - 'Those of the Great Experience' - arose in 13th century Maharashtra. The Mahanubhavs initially experienced a fairly rapid expansion, particularly across the northern and eastern regions of Maharashtra; however, by the end of the 14th century their movement went underground as they sought a defensive isolation from the larger Hindu context. This volume offers an overview of the origins and main religious and doctrinal characteristics of the Mahanubhavs, with a particular focus on the aspects that reveal their difference and nonconformity.
