Dear colleagues,

This is just a reminder CFP, first announced in May, for a special issue of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies on the theme of Krishna and Govardhana Mountain. I extend my thanks in advance for forwarding the CFP to those whom you know working on this topic or who might take an interest in the theme. I am particularly keen on drawing in papers which treat the mountain's significance in:

•     sectarian Vaishnava traditions
•     renderings in kavya
•     plastic and performing arts
•     pilgrimage traditions
•     ritual practices
•     treatment in Vaishnava commentarial literature

Papers should be double spaced, roughly 6000-8000 words, inclusive of notes (endnotes please, not footnotes) and references. Please submit in either Word or PDF format, along with a one-paragraph autobio statement. The deadline to submit is November 1st 2014 to christopher.austin@dal.ca.

Thank you very much,
Chris
