The Lord as Guru
New York: Oxford University Press, 1987. first edition. hardcover. 8vo 256pp. from front flap: "...In The Lord as Guru, Daniel Gold explores the dynamic between holy men and tradition among the sants of North India. Yogis and devotees who expressed themselves in verse, the sants emerged in an epoch that had seen the impact of Islamic rule on Hindu India. They invoked a Lord transcending the orthodoxies of both religions yet still accessible through the guru, who is portrayed ambiguously as both an inner spiritual principle and an outer living master."
