“…In this context, highly spontaneous ritual practices take place, marked by the predominance of orality, bodily movements, and emotion (Poewe 1989;Mossière 2007), and these even acquire ecstatic connotations at times. Among the most characteristic ritual practices, we find speaking in tongues (glossolalia), healing by the laying on of hands (thaumaturgy), and exorcisms; however, testimonies, visions, prophecies, music, dancing, sacred songs, and public preaching are also seen as spiritual gifts (Cartledge 1998;Anderson 1999;Garma 2000aGarma , 2000bGuerrero 2000;Mary 2001;Mena 2003Mena , 2009Llera 2004Llera , 2005Lynn 2006;Campos 2008;Lucena 2008;Andrade 2008;Barrios 2009;Fancello 2009;Guerra 2009;Plaideau 2010).…”

Pentecostalism has been one of the most successful religious movements in Chile due to both its historical growth and its ascendancy in different spheres of society. Nevertheless, from its origins to the present day, it has also been the most stigmatised religious movement in the country. Studies have explained this phenomenon by referring to variables of social class or religious rivalry. However, they have forgotten a factor that is key to this problem and to Pentecostalism: its ritual dimension. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between the stigmatisation of the movement and its unusual ritual life. It is concluded from the analysis of documentary sources that the principal contexts in which Pentecostalism is stigmatised are those that feature the staging of ritual, and that the stigmatisation mainly attacks and disparages the most distinctive ritual practices of the movement.

“…This emphasis on 'experience' on the part of Mata Amritanandamayi's devotees bears comparison with the centrality of individual, personal 'experience' in popular charismatic and evangelical movements in north American, west European as also Latin American and African societies. SeeCartledge 1998, Percy 1998 This narrative is based on a typescript given to me by the narrator, a Tamilian settled in England. It had previously appeared in a local newsletter, Friends of Amma, produced by, and circulated among, Mata Amritanandamayi devotees in the UK.Devotees often refer to the Mata as Amma, which means 'Mother' in Malayalam, the Mata's native language.…”

The perceived resurgence of Hindu nationalist sentiments in India, particularly since the 1990s, occupies centre-stage in much of the current academic writing on contemporary Hinduism. This preoccupation with politicized Hinduism has meant that other developments in contemporary Hindu society, which run contrary to the dominant trend, have tended to go relatively unnoticed in recent academic literature. One such development has to do with religious belief and practice within some of the more popular modern guru organizations in India, many of which own and manage vast institutional and financial empires, command an international presence, and, within India, attract followers largely from educated, urban, ‘middle class’ sections of the country's population. Commentators in the past have tended to see the popularity of these guru organizations merely as a sign of intensified religiosity among urban middle class Indians. A closer look at these organizations and the place which many of them occupy in the lives of their followers, however, indicates that this apparently intensified religiosity also carries within it seeds of something quite different—trends towards the secularization of civil society.
