"""The diversity of source material (combined with the alphabetical arrangement) provides for unexpected and sometimes delightful juxtapositions: entries from the Kama Sutra sit alongside Buddhist instructions for charnel ground meditations, and the sublime attitudes of the brahma-viharas are sandwiched between the malicious and the macabre. . . . Being fully aware of one’s own emotional experience is a wonder, a miracle. In this light, Words for the Heart offers the reader 177 entry points to wonder.""---Sarah Fleming, Tricycle ""An homage to the Sanskrit tradition. . . . A good sample of Sanskrit literature and philosophy that will, I am sure, whet many appetites for more writings from and about classical India.""---Sophus Helle, Marginalia Review of Books ""This book is an outstanding anthropological study of Indian Muslims who navigate their identity and space in a country where they have been historically alienated, stereotyped, ousted, and vilified.""---Alisha Saikia, Religious Studies Review"
