Mario I. Aguilar is Professor of Religion & Politics and Director of the Centre for the Study of Religion & Politics at the University of St Andrews. He is also a poet, an eremitic Camaldolese Benedictine Oblate, and has published widely in his interests in the theology of contemplation, the history of religion and issues of interfaith dialogue.
Introduction. 1. Ashrams, Param??ruby??nanda and Shantivanam. 2. Advaita and Abhishiktananda. 3. Abhishiktananda, the Hindu pilgrim. 4. Dhayananda, Hospitality and Dialogue. 5. Francis Mahieu and Syro-Malabar Monasticism. 6. Raimon Pannikar and Multiple Belonging. 7. Silence, the Pro-Logos and the Monk in Raimon Panikkar. 8. The Postcolonial God and the Proto-Christ. Appendix 1. Appendix 2. Bibliography.
Mario subtly captures the struggle of multiple religious belonging in this unique work. The individual struggle (embedded in the spiritual journey of the ""five pioneers"") and the struggle of all humanity (embedded in the inter-religious dialogue between Hinduism and Christianity in the wake of Indian Independence). The ashram therein, becomes the nucleus of this struggle. A must read!
