The Vatican II was an event of a new facelift for the entire edifice of the Catholic ecclesiology. It called for the renewal in the universal Catholic Church. This book deals with the question: How can the Catholic Church in India accept the council's challenge for renewal and become truly Indian in its being and essence? Undertaking a systematic examination of the post-conciliar ecclesiological development in the Indian Catholic Church, in its existential multi-religious and multi-cultural context, the author attempts to develop an ecclesiological reflection for the Indian context.

Abhishiktānanda (also known as Henri le Saux OSB) is among the most studied Roman Catholic expatriates in India. His life and work have been investigated mainly in the fields of spirituality and interreligious dialogue. While his search for the spiritual awakening is well known, however, less known is his effort to reawaken the sacramental sensibility within the Roman Catholic Church. No scholar has, in fact, extensively analyzed Abhishiktānanda’s understanding of issues surrounding nature and the supernatural. In this book, the focus is primarily on Abhishiktānanda’s concern for the sacramental character of all created existence in terms of the connection between the ecclesial character of his spiritual search and the underlying theme of his theological and literary writings. While the scope of this study is limited, it nonetheless subjects Abhishiktānanda to an interpretative turn by proposing a reinterpretation of him as primarily a product of mid-twentieth century French Roman Catholicism in transition from the reigning neo-Scholasticism to the theology of ressourcement.

The chapters in this volume explore narratives of both real and imagined journeys and examine their religious, psychological, psychoanalytical, philosophical, educational, and historical implications. What emerges is an understanding of narratives of journeys across cultural borders as powerful educational tools that can model and contribute to meaningful dialogue with other states, cultures, and civilizations.

Our story takes place in British India around the first half of the twentieth century when great political changes were sweeping the globe. The two world wars were exposing inhabitants of the world’s secluded regions to modernity, creating cultural conflicts. The mighty British Empire, after reaching its zenith, was crumbling. Gandhi was emerging as a national leader and teaching his followers that freedom from foreign domination can be attained by nonviolent means and that the inhumane treatment of outcastes in India is evil and must end. Father Gambino, twenty-eight, reaches India in 1920 from Italy. He mission is to spread Christ’s love to the pagans who worship idols and believe in many gods instead of his one true God. His goal is to save souls and open churches, schools, and orphanages. He refuses to learn or benefit from the experiences of other Catholic priests in India. He suspects many of his Christian beliefs were diluted, or even defiled, by exposure to Eastern thoughts. After a few years, however, his provincialism lessens when he meets and hears a scholarly British commissioner with in-depth knowledge of Hinduism and Buddhism. When the Japanese army reaches the Indo-Burmese border, Gambino moves from central India to the northeast to work in the Assam Mission. Here, the year after America enters World War II, he rescues an orphan from certain starvation and takes him to a Catholic orphanage. Krishna Swamy was born in the Deccan in 1885, the grandson of a temple priest who believes that everyone shouldn’t read or even hear the Vedas. He accepts the caste system as a natural order. His son secretly resents him and spends the last years of his life with the untouchables, defiantly teaching them the forbidden Vedas. When he masters the Sanskrit grammar his grandfather teaches, Krishna accompanies two of his friends on a pilgrimage. During the journey, the precocious seventeen-year-old observes the strength and confidence of Westerners and the fatalism and superstitions of his countrymen. At Banaras and Sarnath, they expand their horizons by attending many theological discussions. After relinquishing his priestly birthrights, he assumes the nonsectarian name of Bir Dharma and proceeds alone to Calcutta University to become “modern” by studying Christianity, English, and Western values. Professor Das and Brother Curren offer him a scholarship as a Sanskrit grammarian. Bir and Curren become close friends. They discuss commonalities between Hinduism and Catholicism. Bir soon discovers that studying other faiths develops respect for all religions. In 1911, Bir meets Nongrim Hilly in Calcutta who later joins the priesthood to spread Christ’s love to the remote northeast regions. Hilly asks Bir to convert and join him in spreading Catholicism. But Bir declines. He fears organized religions. After six years at the university, Bir goes to Delhi to work in the construction of the new imperial capital. There, a Sikh befriends him and invites him to a gurdwara where he learns about Guru Nanak’s teachings and Sikh history. Construction slows during World War I. Unemployment grows, and the future looks bleak. A cult member offers human sacrifice for early rain. While reporting this monstrosity to a newspaper, Bir meets a foreign war correspondent who introduces him to American and Indian papers as a Westernized guru and freelancer. His fame spreads. Colleges and universities invite him to lecture. Commissioner Gait requests him to speak about Hinduism to his new Indian Civil Service officers. Here Bir meets Gambino. When Bir visits the temples of Bhubaneswar, a cyclone devastates the coastal regions of Orrisa. Gambino joins the Catholic Relief Mission and shows Bir the importance of organization in undertaking large projects. Gambino next visits Father Kenny in Calcutta who advises him to meet Father Hil

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.

Based on 10 months of ethnographic fieldwork, this book presents a social history of Sat Tal Christian Ashram (STA), an Ashram in the Kumaon foothills of northern India. This book explores how some Christian missionaries have sought to inflect Christianity with Advaita Vedantic undertones in a number of Indian contexts; it then analyses how STA draws upon, but also differs from, existing practices of inculturation. In demonstrating the distinctions of STA, this book offers new ethnographic data on the topics of Indian Christianity, Christian missiology and Hindu-Christian relations. This book also contributes to emergent discussions of multiple religious orientation, existential belonging and the negotiation that occurs as individuals and communities seek to invite or belong alongside individuals whose proclaimed faiths are different than their own. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for undergraduate students, while also offering specialists new qualitative data and insightful theoretical reflections.

A collection of Raj’s groundbreaking ethnographic studies of “vernacular” Catholic traditions in Tamil Nadu, India. Finalist for the 2018 Best Book in Hindu-Christian Studies presented by the Society for Hindu-Christian Studies At the turn of the twenty-first century, Selva J. Raj (1952–2008) was one of the most important scholars of popular Indian Christianity and South Asian religion in North America. Vernacular Catholicism, Vernacular Saints gathers together, for the first time in a single volume, a series of his groundbreaking studies on the distinctively “vernacular” Catholic traditions of Tamil Nadu in southeast India. This collection, which focuses on four rural shrines, highlights ritual variety and ritual transgression in Tamil Catholic practice and offers clues to the ritual exchange, religious hybridity, and dialogue occurring at the grassroots level between Tamil Catholics and their Hindu and Muslim neighbors. Raj also advances a new and alternative paradigm for interreligious dialogue that radically differs from models advocated by theologians, clergy, and other religious elite. In addition, essays by other leading scholars of Indian Christianity and South Asian religions—Michael Amaladoss, Purushottama Bilimoria, Corinne G. Dempsey, Eliza F. Kent, and Vasudha Narayanan—are included that amplify and creatively extend Raj’s work. Reid B. Locklin is Associate Professor of Christianity and the Intellectual Tradition at St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto. He is the author of Spiritual But Not Religious? An Oar Stroke Closer to the Farther Shore and Liturgy of Liberation: A Christian Commentary on Shankara’s Upadeśasāhasrī, as well as the coeditor (with Mara Brecht) of Comparative Theology in the Millennial Classroom: Hybrid Identities, Negotiated Boundaries.
