The Vedic context of religions of man

What is this project?

VCRM is a working catalog of religious, philosophical, and legal texts, organized across historical contexts.

This wiki is an evolving draft — many pages are stubs. Contributions and corrections are welcome.

The Formations

• Śrauta — Followers of what is heard
• Śramaṇa — Buddhist, Jain, and related heterodox traditions
• Smārta — Followers of what is remembered
• Bhakti — Devotion through form
• Sant — Devotion through immanence
• Philosophes — Early modern and global analogues
