Description

No religion ever remains static: it affects and is in turn affected by material reality. It is the creative tension embodied in this dynamic which makes the world of religion rich with possibilities. This book examines the contours of this creative tension in the context of Hinduism in our own times. For Hinduism, a religion of unknown antiquity, is also, in several ways, surprisingly modern. Hinduism for Our Times is an attempt to raise this dimension of Hinduism to an unprecedented level of self-awareness. Thus the choices that Hindus must make in the context of modernization and globalization become conscious as opposed to random choices, choices which will place Hinduism at the cutting edge of the contemporary world instead of consigning it to the periphery. This book will appeal to all those interested in giving religion a modern agenda.
