ABHISHIKTHANANDA A Christian Advaitin
Keywords:
Advaitasamadhi, MysticismAbstract
Three decades and seven years have passed since Abhishiktananda who inspired a generation of Indian Christian theologians attained his ever cherished Advaita Samadhi. His arrival in India and the path he dared to choose generated powerful currents in the Indian subcontinent as well as around the world. During 1960s and 70s Bangalore became the epicentre of much theological discussions and experimentations. It was the staff members of Dharmaram College, St Peters Seminary, and NBCLC, who took daring steps to develop, promote and propagate an Indian Christian theology. However, at present, after four decades, the state of affairs has changed.
