Divine Relations: Jīva Gosvāmin and Thomas Aquinas on Acintya and Mystery
Examining Hindu Ethics: The Three Yogas in Bhāgavata Purāṇa Commentaries
The object of this article is pre‐colonial Hindu ways of distinguishing “the path of devotion” ( bhakti‐yoga ) from “the path of knowledge” ( jñāna‐yoga ) and “the path of work” ( karma‐yoga ). It highlights how a developing religious group in early modern India explained and justified its path—its ethics, its ritual, its theology—while in conversation with the larger Brahminical tradition out of which it was emerging. I argue that early authors …

Revisiting the Questions of Theological Hierarchies in Rāmakṛṣṇa and Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism
Cause of Devotion in Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Theology: Devotion (bhakti) as the Result of Spontaneously (yadṛcchayā) Meeting a Devotee (sādhu-saṅga)
Devotion (bhakti) is the defining religious practice and central theological concept of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava tradition, and this article is about the catalytic event that is said to instigate bhakti in the non-devoted. I examine how Jīva Gosvāmin (c. 1517-1608) and Viśvanātha Cakravartin (fl. 1679-1709), two important theologians in this tradition, argue that the cause of bhakti in the non-devoted is a meeting with a devotee. In this meeting, the…

Seeing in Eternal Return: Hermeneutical Perspectives on Karma and Rebirth
This article is a reflection on a conception of death, that of karma and rebirth, and its value in interpreting one's life. I have thought about this conception in two ways. The first is that I can see the circumstances of my life as the result of causes of which I was the agent, and the second is that I can see my life and the relationships in my life as part of a much larger narrative that began before this life. Through an examination of Vaish…
