About the Book
महाबोधि मंदिर और बोधगया मठ: साझा धर्म साझी विरासत बोधगया के महाबोधि मंदिर और बोधगया मठ के बीच दीर्घ और जटिल ऐतिहासिक संबंध का अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करती है। विशेष रूप से यह शैव गिरि महंतों की उस संरक्षक भूमिका की पड़ताल करती है, जो महाबोधि मंदिर और उसके व्यापक पवित्र परिसर के साथ ऐतिहासिक रूप से जुड़ी रही है। पुस्तक आधुनिक काल में मंदिर की धार्मिक पहचान को लेकर उत्पन्न विवादों को एक व्यापक ऐतिहासिक परिप्रेक्ष्य में रखती है और बोधगया को एक साझा पवित्र स्थल के रूप में देखने का आग्रह करती है।ऐतिहासिक अभिलेखों, विधिक और प्रशासनिक दस्तावेजों, शिलालेखों, औपनिवेशिक विवरणों और आधुनिक काल से संबंधित स्रोतों के आधार पर कर्मतेज सिंह सराओ बौद्ध परम्पराओं, शैव संस्थाओं, औपनिवेशिक प्रशासकों, भारतविदों, राजनीतिक व्यक्तित्वों और अनागारिक धर्मपाल जैसे सुधारकों की भूमिकाओं का विश्लेषण करते हैं। बोधिवृक्ष, मंदिर परिसर, अनुष्ठानिक स्थल, स्वामित्व और संरक्षकत्व, तथा बोधगया की आधुनिक पहचान को आकार देने वाली राजनीतिक और वैचारिक प्रक्रियाएँ इस अध्ययन के प्रमुख विषय हैं।पुस्तक का केंद्रीय तर्क यह है कि महाबोधि मंदिर के इतिहास को केवल किसी एक धार्मिक परम्परा के अनन्य अधिकार के रूप में समझना पर्याप्त नहीं है। बोधगया का इतिहास बौद्ध, शैव, वैष्णव और अन्य धार्मिक परम्पराओं के सहअस्तित्व, अंतःक्रिया और कभी-कभी प्रतिस्पर्धा से निर्मित एक बहुस्तरीय पवित्र विरासत की ओर संकेत करता है। इस दृष्टि से यह पुस्तक महाबोधि मंदिर और बोधगया मठ को एक जटिल, साझा और ऐतिहासिक रूप से विकसित धार्मिक विरासत के रूप में पुनः समझने का प्रयास करती है।
