A God at Play? Reexamining the Concept of Līlā in Hindu Philosophy and Theology
Līlā , as a concept and term, has a long and complex history in Sanskritic Hinduism, yet, irrespective of context, it has routinely been translated by words signifying “play,” “sport,” and “game” in English and other languages. Focusing mainly on the term’s philosophical and theological connotations in Sanskritic Hinduism, this article challenges these facile and often misleading renderings. It analyzes the semantic functions and nuances of this …
Rāmakṛṣṇa
s n a was a figure of singular importance, not only religiously, but also for social and political reasons, for middle-class Bengal in the nineteenth century. Ayon Maharaj refers to him as Sri Ramakrishna (somewhat analogous to calling Thomas Aquinas, Saint Thomas) throughout his book, Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality: Sri Ramakrishna and Cross-Cultural Philosophy of Religion (2018; henceforth, IPIR
The Truth of Dharma and the Dharma of Truth
This article discusses what it might mean to characterize traditional Hinduism as a dharmic faith in relation to the concepts of truth ( satyam ) and its opposite ( anṛtam ), without however expatiating on supposed contrasts between Hinduism and the “Abrahamic” faiths. The argument is conducted by recognizing two senses to anṛtam , namely, “non-truth” and “falsehood,” in contrast to satyam ; and the method used is inductive in that a historically…

A Figure of Paradox
The Fruits of Our Desiring
India's Agony over Religion
Ancient Banyan
This paper suggests, against a comparative horizon and in broadly philosophical context, a fresh approach to the study of Hinduism. After indicating how religion in general and ‘Hinduism’ in particular are plural phenomena both internally and externally, the paper goes on to define a (if not, the) distinguishing property of Hinduness (or hindutā ) in terms of an approach that is based on a re-centring system of equilibrating and interactive polar…
Seeking Others in their Otherness
That we live in a world of all manner of racial, cultural and ideological difference, of profound specificities and contingencies, is a trite fact of existence. Such awareness is nothing new. Indeed it was a containing feature of Aquinas’ intellectual perspective. The title of one of his major works —Summa Contra Gentiles —indicates as much. What is new in our time is a growing if still somewhat grudging appreciation of this fact of difference, a…

The Face of Truth
The World as God's ‘body’
In this essay I propose to offer some observations in due course on how Christian thought and practice in general (though some reference will be made to the Indian context) might profit from a central theme in the theology of Rāmānuja, a Tamil Vaisnava Brahmin whose traditional date straddles the eleventh and twelfth centuries of the Christian era. The central theme I have in mind is expressed in Rāmānuja's view that the ‘world’ is the ‘body’ of …

Does Copernicus Help? Reflections for a Christian Theology of Religions
I want to consider in this paper a question that is looming large in the theology of most world religions, not least in the Christian tradition. The following discussion will be confined to the Christian standpoint, though I hope mutatis mutandis the main points will be seen to apply to other religious perspectives as well. Specifically then, this question can be ex–pressed in two ways. We may ask, (i) in the context of the contemporary dialogue …

Truth-claims and inter-religious dialogue
The debate continues concerning the nature of religious truth-claims and their role in dialogue: a seemingly vexatious topic not only in discussions between religious persons and those who question the value of accredited religion, but also within the camp of differently aligned believers themselves. Indeed the present interest in inter-religious understanding has tended to make this problem even more acute. In Part I of this paper I wish to disc…
