  • ADVAITA VEDANTA: a SURVEY of the ROOTS and the FRUIT of a MOVEMENT by Bill Honsberger, Haven Ministry
    ADVAITA VEDANTA: A SURVEY OF THE ROOTS AND THE FRUIT OF A MOVEMENT By Bill Honsberger, Haven Ministry http://havenministry.com/home.html This paper will look at the origins and development of the particular Hindu school of thought known as Advaita Vedanta. I will first look at the medieval roots of Vedanta as founded by Sankara and later critiqued by Ramanuja. I will then show how Vedanta was transformed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by interaction with colonial and nationalist ideas and by interaction with the world at large. “I believe in Advaita; I believe in the essential unity of man and for that matter, for all that lives. Therefore, I believe that if one man gains spiritually, the whole world gains with him and if one man fails, the whole world fall to that extent…”(1) With these words the Father of modern India, Mahatma Gandhi, revealed the thoughts that were a major influence on him in 1924. However, the ideas he mentioned date back hundreds of years to the thoughts of an influential thinker named Sankara, and they also reflect the ideas of more modern Indian scholars who were shaping and adapting ancient ideas to a contemporary present. The terms Advaita, which means non-dualistic, and Vedanta, which literally means the end of the Vedas, together refer to a series of thinkers and ideas that go back to the eighth century C.E. The most notable scholar who is usually seen as the originator and systemizer of Advaita is Sankara (788 – 820 C.E.). The school of Advaita is described by some as theology and by others as a philosophy.

  • Sat-Chit-Ananda in the Upanishads
    JPJRS 11/1 ISSN 0972-3331, Jan 2008 6-17 Trinity as Sat-Chit-Ananda in the Thought of the Indian Theologian Brahmabandav Upadhyaya K. P. Aleaz Professor of Religions at Bishop’s College and Dean, North India Institute of Post-Graduate Theological Studies, Kolkata, k leaz@ satyam .n et.in Abstract: Many authors, including Julius Lipner, holds that Upadhyaya was interpreting Sat-Chit-Ananda and Maya of Advaita Vedanta in terms of the neo-Thomism of the day and therefore his originality in these matters was only lim­ ited for an Indian Christian theology. Taking a drasti­ cally different approach, our author studies Upadhyaya’s interpretation of Trinity as Sat-Chit-Ananda. First he traces the insights of authors like Keshub Chunder Sen (1838­ 1884), J. Monchanin (1895-1957), Swami Abhishiktananda (1910­ 1973), Bede Griffiths and Vandana Mataji. Keshub Chunder Sen is important because sixteen years before Upadhyaya, in 1882, he was the first one to interpret the Trinity as Saccidananda. For Sen Trinity was only a symbol and the three members of the symbol, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were just pointing to the reality of God in different ways; the three members do not represent three persons sharing the same essence but they are just three functions of the same person. Moreover, Sen gives only a very brief account of Trinity as Sat-Chit-Ananda. The author affirms that ilf Upadhyaya’s Saccidananda represented God in Himself as unrelated alone, for Abhishiktananda the concept signi­ fied the inseparable aspects of the mystery of God in Him­ self/Herself as well as the mystery of the divine presence in the innermost sanctuary of a person’s being.

  • Connecting Art with Spirituality Within the Indian Aesthetics of Advaita Vedanta
    1536-08_SIS18(2008)_02_Keating 30-10-2008 13:17 Pagina 25 Studies in Spirituality 18, 25-37. doi: 10.2143/SIS.18.0.2033281 © 2008 by Studies in Spirituality. All rights reserved. ROSS KEATING CONNECTING ART WITH SPIRITUALITY WITHIN THE INDIAN AESTHETICS OF ADVAITA VEDANTA SUMMARY — This paper presents an exploration of how aesthetic expe- rience could be interpreted along the lines of the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and how Western art could be viewed as an expression of a deeper spiritual reality, albeit defined in Vedantic terms. According to Advaita Vedanta every entity has five characteristics namely, existence, cognizability, inherent appeal, form, and name. Of these, the first three characteristics are seen as spiritual and the following two constitute the appearance of the entity in the world. Advaita Vedanta holds that it is specifically the characteristics of form and name that distinguishes one entity from another while it is the three former characteristics, which all entities have in common, that spiritually unites everything. Furthermore, within this philosophy, existence, cognizability, and inherent appeal are seen as stemming from Brahman, the Being of all beings, whose nature is Satcitanandna (Existence-Knowledge-Bliss). Religious or sacred art within this thinking is that art which has the potential to take the beholder, through an act of concentration on the work’s form and name – its appearance in the world, into a deeper experience, into a momen- tary ‘glimpse’ of Satcitanandna. This epiphanic experience is conjointly for the beholder an awakening experience of recognition to his or her own inherent spiritual depth, for the same mysterious nature of Satcitanandna that underpins the artwork underpins the beholder.

  • Participation, Metaphysics, and Enlightenment: Reflections on Ken Wilber’S Recent Work
    Transpersonal Psychology Review, 14(2), 3-24, 2011 Participation, Metaphysics, and Enlightenment: Reflections on Ken Wilber’s Recent Work Jorge N. Ferrer In memory of David Fontana (1934–2010), pioneer of British transpersonalism This paper discusses a number of key issues raised in the recent dialogue on the work of Ken Wilber between John Rowan and Michael Daniels, mediated by David Fontana and chaired by Malcolm Walley (Rowan, Daniels, Fontana, & Walley, 2009). First, it responds to Rowan’s defense of Wilber’s work in the wake of the participatory critique. Second, it addresses the question of the cultural versus universal nature of Wilber’s Kosmic habits in dialogue with Daniels’s contribution. Third, it offers a critique of Wilber’s integral post-metaphysics and contrasts this with participatory spirituality. Fourth, it discusses the nature of enlightenment, as well as meditation, integral practice, and spiritual individuation. The paper concludes with some concrete directions in which to move the dialogue forward. I am grateful to the editors of Transpersonal Psychology Review for the opportunity to clarify and develop aspects of my participatory perspective in view of the recently published dialogue on Ken Wilber’s latest contributions to transpersonal psychology (Rowan, Daniels, Fontana, & Walley, 2009). For the sake of focus, I limit my discussion to four key issues raised in the dialogue: (a) the participatory critique of Wilber’s work, (b) the cultural versus universal nature of Wilber’s Kosmic habits, (c) the question of (post-)metaphysics in spiritual discourse, and (d) the nature of enlightenment. The participatory critique of Wilber’s work: Response to Rowan After an account of his spiritual journey, Rowan defends Wilber’s model against critics who detect an Eastern bias in its allegedly universal spiritual map.

  • A Conceptual History of the New Age Concept of Enlightenment
    Numen 67 (2020) 373–401 brill.com/nu Getting off the Wheel: A Conceptual History of the New Age Concept of Enlightenment Bas J.H. Jacobs Faculty of Humanities, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract Although many new agers believe that enlightenment is the end goal of spiritual devel- opment, the importance of this concept has largely been overlooked by scholars until now. This article contextualizes the concept of enlightenment historically. After a de- tailed description of what the new age concept of enlightenment entails, it traces the origin of the concept to the late 19th-century “Oriental reaction” to Theosophy, when “missionaries from the East” like Vivekananda and Suzuki drew on transcendentalism, Theosophy, and recent innovations in psychology to articulate a paradigmatic expres- sion of Asian soteriology. It highlights the importance of models of enlightenment in the transmission of Asian ideas and follows the trajectory that starts with Vivekananda and Suzuki to figures and currents like Aldous Huxley, 1960s counterculture, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and neo-advaita. Thereby, it provides an account of the formation of the new age concept of enlightenment. Keywords enlightenment – transcendentalism – Theosophy – Vivekananda – Suzuki – Huxley – Osho What is enlightenment? In January 1992, spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen (b. 1955) published a journal dedicated to clearing up the confusion surround- ing the concept — appropriately titled What is Enlightenment? — and in the first issue he tried to answer that very question.

  • Advaita Vedanta
    Advaita Vedanta Advaita Vedanta is a school of Hindu philosophy and religious practice, and one of the classic Indian paths to spiritual realization. The term Advaita refers to its idea that the soul (true Self, Atman) is the same as the highest metaphysical Reality (Brahman). The followers of this school are known as Advaita Vedantins, or just Advaitins, and they seek spiritual liberation through acquiring vidyā (knowledge) of one's true identity as Atman, and the identity of Atman and Brahman. Advaita Vedanta traces its roots in the oldest Upanishads. It relies on three textual sources called the Prasthanatrayi. It gives "a unifying interpretation of the whole body of Upanishads", the Brahma Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita. Advaita Vedanta is the oldest extant sub-school of Vedanta, which is one of the six orthodox (āstika) Hindu philosophies (darśana). Though its roots trace back to the 1st millennium BCE, the most prominent exponent of the Advaita Vedanta is considered by the tradition to be 8th century scholar Adi Shankara. Advaita Vedanta emphasizes Jivanmukti, the idea that moksha (freedom, liberation) is achievable in this life in contrast to Indian philosophies that emphasize Videhamukti, or moksha after death. The school uses concepts such as Brahman, Atman, Maya, Avidya, meditation and others that are found in major Indian religious traditions, but interprets them in its own way for its theories of moksha. Advaita Vedanta is one of the most studied and most influential schools of classical Indian thought. Many scholars describe it as a form of monism, others describe the Advaita philosophy as non-dualistic.

  • Sri Dattatreya's 24 Gurus
    Sri Dattatreya’s 24 Gurus: Learning from the World in Hindu Tradition Martin Haigh, Oxford Brookes University, United Kingdom Abstract Sri Dattatreya, who Lord Krishna quotes in The Uddhava Gita, has been evoked as a guru for environmental education. Sri Dattatreya gained enlightenment by observing the world, which provided Him with 24 instructors. These taught Him the futility of mundane attachments, the benefits of contemplation and forebearance, and a path towards the spiritual self-realization of the Supreme. Sri Dattatreya, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, features in several Puranas where His teachings involve direct challenges to the pretensions and prejudices of the learner. His core message is “never judge by surface appearances but always seek a deeper Truth”: the Earth is sacred, an aspect of God, and a puzzle that challenges the spiritual self to awaken to its true nature. Résumé Sri Dattatreya, cité par le dieu Krishna dans The Uddhava Gita, a été qualifié de gourou en éducation écologique. Sri Dattatreya s’est instruit en observant le monde, qui Lui a fourni vingt-quatre moniteurs. Ces derniers lui ont enseigné l’inutilité de s’attacher au monde terrestre, les avantages de méditer et de connaître le passé ancestral, et une voie vers l’auto-réalisation spirituelle de Dieu. Sri Dattatreya, une incarnation du dieu Vishnou, figure dans plusieurs puranas où Son enseignement pose des défis directs aux prétentions et aux préjudices de l’apprenant. Son message fondamental est de « ne jamais juger selon les premières apparences mais de toujours rechercher une Vérité plus profonde » : la Terre est sacrée, elle est une représentation de Dieu et un casse-tête qui remet en cause le moi spirituel afin d’éveiller sa vraie nature.

  • In Fifteen Years Interreligious Relations Have Changed from a Field Of
    HENDRIK M. VROOM INTERRELIGIOUS RELATIONS Incongruent Relations and Rationalities Introduction In this article I will deal with the relations between religious traditions. People often think that the differences between traditions consist in their having differ- ent rituals and contradicting one another with respect to beliefs and ethical views on certain points and converging on others. That is not untrue, but the important differences lie on a deeper level, as I will show. Although we need “global” categories like “religion,” we must be aware of the structural differ- ences between traditions. I will show how these differences appear in the views that those traditions have of other religions. These views are not congruent—in the sense that they spring from different paradigms and entail differing valua- tions of reasonableness. First, I will describe the urgency for deepening our un- derstanding of the otherness of other traditions and the danger of an all too- easy acceptance that the “others” are “like us”—which comes down to an en- capsulation of the other and hinders a real understanding and the possibility of truly learning from other traditions. Second, I will describe the incongruent ra- tionalities that follow from three “types” of religions: theistic, acosmic and cosmic. Third, I will make some comments on the incompatibility of the three types. Religio-Cultural Differences Religious pluralism is one of the main cultural “problems” of global society, and neglect of the differences between cultures and religious traditions one of the main causes of serious conflict. These problems are very much apparent in societies in which many people from different cultural backgrounds and reli- gions live together.

  • D:\Study Material\IAEWP
    Please see the Cover and Contents in the last pages of this e-Book Online Study Materials on WORLD RELIGIONS 15 HINDUISM AND HINDU PHILOSOPHY: ELEMENTS AND DIMENSIONS HINDUISM Hinduism is a religious tradition that originated in the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism is often referred to as Sanâtana Dharma by its practitioners, a Sanskrit phrase meaning “the eternal law”. Hinduism is the world’s oldest major religion that is still practised. Its earliest origins can be traced to the ancient Vedic civilisation. A conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions, Hinduism has no single founder. It is the world’s third largest religion following Christianity and Islam, with approximately a billion adherents, of whom about 905 million live in India and Nepal. Other countries with large Hindu populations include Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. Hinduism contains a vast body of scriptures.
