This book is one of the first to present a definitive history of the Christian Ashram Movement. It offers insights into the development of the Movement, Europe’s Orientalist view of Eastern mysticism and how the concept of the "ashram" spread beyond the borders of India. Drawing extensively from ashram literature and the author’s field research, the book critically analyzes the notions of inculturation in the encounter between Christianity and Hindu spirituality and ritualism. It looks at how the Movement grew out of the colonial encounter and how it evolved through the years, which was contingent on developments within Christian churches outside India. The volume also discusses the reinterpretation of the idea of the "ashram" by Christian theologians, the introduction of elite Brahmanical concepts within the Movement and the unique theological perspectives which were nurtured in these ashrams. The book offers an alternative perspective to the generally perceived history of Christianity in India. It will be of interest to scholars and researchers of religious studies, Christianity, sociology, social anthropology and religious history.

In late 20th-century India, Christian-Hindu dialogue was forever transformed following the opening of Shantivanam, the first Christian ashram in the country. Mario I. Aguilar brings together the histories of the five pioneers of Christian-Hindu dialogue and their involvement with the ashram, to explore what they learnt and taught about communion between the two religions, and the wide ranging consequences of their work. The author expertly threads together the lives and friendships between these men, while uncovering the Hindu texts they used and were influenced by, and considers how far some of them became, in their personal practice, Hindu. Ultimately, this book demonstrates the impact of this history on contemporary dialogue between Christians and Hindus, and how both faiths can continue to learn and grow together.

Compiled and edited by Anne Mathews-Younes, the granddaughter of the founder of the Christian Ashram movement, this book traces the origin and development of Christians Ashrams in North America. "The Christian Ashram movement has been challenging participants to grasp these deep ponderings of the heart prayerfully, in community, and to the great blessing of many. May this volume on the history of the movement help to spark a new wave of renewed hearts and changed lives." - Rev. Dr. Stephen Rankin (University Chaplain, Southern Methodist University)."The Christian Ashram is a movement with a simple message in a complex world. In word, deed and experience it proclaims, "Jesus is Lord!" This message is just as relevant today as it was when the Ashram began in 1930. In fact, this same message is more needed today than ever. This volume is much more than a history book. I invite you to journey through these pages to discover the spiritual principles of the Christian Ashram, learn about E. Stanley Jones, the founder, and wonder at the transforming power of Jesus Christ at work in the world today!" - Lisa Chandler (UCA Administrative Executive).
