Regional Bhakti Scholars Network

Bhakti Virtual Archive

(BHAVA)

The Bhakti Virtual Archive (BHAVA) is a freely accessible online platform for exploring scholarship on bhakti and discovering connections across regions and languages. At the project’s core is a database with thousands of bibliographic references, each of which was cataloged by a curator with relevant expertise, using a closed vocabulary that enmeshes all references in a single search matrix.
