>> Dear colleagues and friends,

>> I’m pleased to announce the publication of my first monograph: *Gāyatrī:

>> “The mantra known as Gāyatrī or Sāvitrī (Ṛgveda III 62.10) is one of the
>> most frequently recited texts of mankind. Over the course of time it has
>> not only been personified as the mother of the Vedas – the oldest religious
>> literature of South Asia –, but has even come to be venerated as a goddess.
>> Today many consider it the most important, most efficacious, or holiest
>> mantra of all.
>>
>> In *Gāyatrī: Mantra and Mother of the Vedas*, Dominik A. Haas
>> reconstructs the history of the Gāyatrī-Mantra for the first time, tracing
>> it from 1000 BCE to 1000 CE. He shows how an inconspicuous verse became an
>> emblem of Brahminical Hinduism and presents the processes that led to its
>> deification. To this end, he not only subjects passages from more than one
>> hundred source texts in Vedic and Sanskrit to philological-historical
>> analysis, but also draws upon perspectives and insights from religious
>> studies.
>>
>> The Gāyatrī-Mantra plays an important role in contemporary Hinduism as
>> well as in modern yoga and alternative spiritual currents around the globe.
>> This book therefore not only contributes to South Asian studies and
>> religious studies, but is also of interest to a wider readership.”
>>
>> I hope you enjoy reading it!
