Hindu-Christian Dialogue In The Making In Australia, Purushottama Bilimoria Jan 1994

Hindu-Christian Dialogue In The Making In Australia, Purushottama Bilimoria

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

It would not be an exaggeration to say at the outset that Hindu-Christian dialogue is still in its infancy in Australia when compared, for instance, to Buddhist-Christian, Jewish-Christian, Muslim-Christian, and even Muslim-Jewish dialogue. However, there have been some developments in recent times and there is something of a history, albeit discontinuous, of Hindu-Christian encounters in Australia.


The Dalits, Religions And Interfaith Dialogue, A.M. Abraham Ayrookuzhiel Jan 1994

The Dalits, Religions And Interfaith Dialogue, A.M. Abraham Ayrookuzhiel

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The Dalits of India who follow different religious traditions are beginning to come together these days as one people. While their main concern is to fight economic, political and cultural marginalization, what it means to the religions to which they belong is the question raised in this paper. In order to answer this, we should first have an idea of the kind of questions and problems they raise with respect to different religions. Thereafter we can proceed to some of the implications of this process for interfaith understanding and cooperation.

Reflections On Religious Pluralism In The Indian Context, Margaret Chatterjee Jan 1994

Reflections On Religious Pluralism In The Indian Context, Margaret Chatterjee

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Does pluralism in aesthetic and religious judgements necessarily lead to relativism? The writer takes the view that (a) religious pluralism does not only reveal itself in diversity of judgements but in other diversities as well; (b) such diversities suggest relativity rather than relativism. The pluralities invite not aggregation or toleration so much as understanding.

I want us to reflect on our religious diversity, and on the increasing religious diversity in North America, which Professor Diana Eck and her team of research students are now documenting and interpreting in the Pluralism Project.

Hindu-Christian Studies As A Necessary Luxury In The Context Of Today's Pluralism, Francis Clooney Jan 1994

Hindu-Christian Studies As A Necessary Luxury In The Context Of Today's Pluralism, Francis Clooney

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

During 1992-3 I had the good fortune to live in Madras and spend the year reading both Tiruvaymoli, the Tamil religious classic composed by Satakopan of Kurukur, and also large sections of the early commentaries on it, particularly the great Itu of Nampillai. For the purpose of this study I met regularly with several learned teachers of the Srivaisnava tradition, with one of them for about two hours a day. Though I had studied these texts on and off during the previous ten years, this period of prolonged and intense study immeasurably deepened my knowledge of the texts. The …

Viewpoint: Religious Fundamentalism And Pluralism In India, David C. Scott Jan 1994

Viewpoint: Religious Fundamentalism And Pluralism In India, David C. Scott

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Much has been written and said in recent months about religious fundamentalism and pluralism in India. However, in order to understand what is currently going on in India with regard to these two phenomena, a third really needs to be brought into the picture -- communalism. Indeed, one could well argue, though I have neither the time nor the space here, that the fundamentalisms of India -- whether Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, or Christian -- were conceived in communally perceived times of crisis. Basically fundamentalist movements in India are critiques of contemporary ways of life and look to a future, …

The Humanity Of God In Liberal Orthodox Theology, Paul Valliere Jan 1993

The Humanity Of God In Liberal Orthodox Theology, Paul Valliere

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

The purpose of this paper is to present some of the testimonies of liberal Orthodox theology in late Imperial Russia concerning the theology of Incarnation. Since it may come as a surprise to many people, even to many Orthodox, that a tradition of liberal theology existed in Russian Orthodoxy, the evidence I adduce may be of interest apart from the specific theological discussion to which it pertains.

Reflections On Swami Vivekananda's Speeches At The World Parliament Of Religions, 1893, Ronald Neufeldt Jan 1993

Reflections On Swami Vivekananda's Speeches At The World Parliament Of Religions, 1893, Ronald Neufeldt

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Much has been written about Swami Vivekananda's appearance at the World Parliament of Religions in 1893. On the whole, the assessments of his appearance from both academics and non-academics has been positive, emphasising Vivekananda's contributions to religious harmony in the world. Vivekananda was and remains an exemplary spokesperson for the enduring themes of the Ramakrishna mission, in particular for the idea that all religions are true inasmuch as they lead to the same goal.


The New Master-Paradigm: Ecology, Klaus Klostermaier Jan 1993

The New Master-Paradigm: Ecology, Klaus Klostermaier

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The thesis of this essay is that ecology, understood as concern for nature in the most comprehensive sense, is going to be the master paradigm of the science and politics of the future. It will not only be the focus of theoretical preoccupations aiming at halting, and possibly reversing the destructive tendencies inherent in modern industrial civilisation but also the focus of socio-political praxis: no government will be able to survive if it does not give concrete expression to the ecological concern of its citizens and the ecological focus will bring about a cooperation of people across the boundaries of …


Human Responsibility And The Environment: A Hindu Perspective, O. P. Dwivedi Jan 1993

Human Responsibility And The Environment: A Hindu Perspective, O. P. Dwivedi

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The World Commission on Environment and Development acknowledged that to reconcile human affairs with natural laws 'our cultural and spiritual heritages can reinforce our economic interests and survival imperatives'. But until very recently, the role of our cultural and spiritual heritages in environmental protection and sustainable development was ignored by international bodies, national governments, policy planners, and even environmentalists. Many fear that bringing religion into the environmental movement will threaten objectivity, scientific investigation, professionalism, or democratic values. But none of these need be displaced in order to include the spiritual dimension in environmental protection. That dimension, if introduced in the …


Ecology And Religion: Christian And Hindu Paradigms, Klaus Klostermaier Jan 1993

Ecology And Religion: Christian And Hindu Paradigms, Klaus Klostermaier

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Neither Hinduism nor Christianity had or have 'ecology' as their central focus. A contemporary Hindu or Christian ecology can be developed by rethinking and restructuring traditional teachings, amplifying seminal statements and linking these up with the dominating concern of the late 20th century, to 'save the earth'. In the context of a 'science and religion' seminar some years back one of my colleagues from the life sciences remarked: 'What we need today is an ecological messiah'. The task before us is that of the one preparing the way for such an ecological messiah, pulling together strands of Hindu and Christian …


Environmental Ethics: Ancient Traditions And Contemporary Dilemmas: A Hindu Perspective, Sehdev Kumar, Aaloka Mehndiratta Jan 1993

Environmental Ethics: Ancient Traditions And Contemporary Dilemmas: A Hindu Perspective, Sehdev Kumar, Aaloka Mehndiratta

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

According to an ancient Hindu myth the goddess Earth was once imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean, in the nether world, by a demon who had laid waste to the earth, causing havoc to the order of things. To rescue her from the demon, Lord Vishnu incarnated as a boar, as Varaha Avatar. He fought and killed the demon and released the goddess Earth by carrying her on his tusk to float free once more on the cosmic waters.


Viewpoints: The Human, The Environment: Sundry Questions, Murray Rogers Jan 1993

Viewpoints: The Human, The Environment: Sundry Questions, Murray Rogers

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

This piece is not authoritative, definitely not! It is all wonderments, the sharing of puzzles and questions and then, from time to time, of wonder. That is why the real vehicle of such an essay is worship, that mysterious activity within the human which is from the beyond.
