Editorial Reviews
“The book is good to think with.... The historical reality is often more complex than our scholarly categorizations allow for, and
Making a Mantra
makes an excellent case for critically engaging with them anew, by bringing the ascetic perspective into the heart of tantric studies and granting Jainism a place in it.”
—
Indo-Iranian Journal
“Her use of both textual and anthropological methodologies that connect the past and present is a welcome reprieve from the text-heavy focus of so many projects on tantra.... Gough makes a strong argument for studying the past and present together without making the mistake of assuming what happens today is what has always occurred.”
—
Material Religion
“[Gough] works to reorient decades of scholarship on Jainism that has intentionally painted the tradition as persistent and consistent over time. Instead, Gough both recognizes and prioritizes the dynamic, changing nature of Jainism from its inception to the current day, specifically with regard to one facet of broader Indian religiosity, namely, tantra.... An impressive, detailed, and forward-thinking piece of scholarship. It will become required reading for scholars of both Jainism and tantra, and rightly so.”
—
History of Religions
“Drawing on a rich knowledge of Jain canonical texts and ethnographic work, this work is a brilliant contribution to situate Jainism in the field of Tantric Studies. It is highly recommended for scholars of both Jainism and Tantra.”

Religious Studies Review
“In this pioneering study, Gough traces the long biography of a key Jain mantra from ancient times up to the present. By showing how medieval Jains came to ‘tantricize’ the mantra, she makes important contributions to the study of Tantra, Jainism, and, more broadly, our understanding of the history of religion in India. This is a work of wide and confident scholarship, conveyed in an accessible and compelling manner.”
—Richard Davis, Bard College
“In
Making a Mantra
, Gough combines fine-grained textual study with ethnographic fieldwork to persuasively demonstrate that a full and adequate understanding of Jain ritual and doctrine must take serious account of the role of mantras and mandalas throughout the tradition. This book marks a watershed moment in the study of both Tantra and Jainism—it is required reading for all students of Indian religions.”
—John E. Cort, Denison University
