SANGAM OF RELIGIONS IN THE UNKNOWN CHRIST
Keywords:
SANGAM, RELIGIONAbstract
The present article deals mainly with one of the main insights of Raymond
Panikkar. A tribute to a great scholar Raymond Panikkar who passed away on
26th August 2010 at the age of 91, at his home in Tavertet, is befitting, I
thought, perhaps by attempting to understand the deep insight in one of his
main contributions: meeting of religions in the ‘Unknown Christ’. As if his
farewell message in a statement from his residence in Tavertet dated January
26, 2010, Panikkar has expressed as one of his desires that other people may
continue “to spread my message and the sharing of my ideals, even without
me.”
