The book then proceeds to notice: the cult of Vashinavism; the intolerance of Vashinavs; the Gowd Saraswat Brahmins (this includes a short history, historical anecdotes, peculiarities of the worship, and brief notice of their beliefs). The book ends with a few Konkani folktales: the story of the Jamboo fruit; the cupidity of a Brahmin; the bran maid; the cruel step mother; the tale of the wax doll and the cow dung girl; the last folk tale is Ravalo Shenai and his shrew of a wife.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46194830180503,"sku":"9788121241915","price":91.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788121241915.webp?v=1769299149","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/vaishnavism-of-the-gowd-saraswat-brahmins-and-a-few-konkani-folklore-tales-9788121241915","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
