Christian – Vaishnava Dialogue in the US : An action-research minor field study

Doherty, John January 2015 (has links)
Religious diversity is the inevitable corollary of globalization and with it comes the challenge and opportunities of greatly increased interaction with religious Others. The United States was founded on an Anglo-Saxon Protestant basis but has now become "the world’s most religiously diverse nation" according to one Harvard religious studies scholar. To deal with this development, American thinkers, mainly Christians, have devoted a good deal of scholarship in the past three to four decades construing strategies how to meet and interact with the religious Other. During the 70’s and 80’s, a typology of exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism was developed by Christians as a response to religious diversity. Many see today that it is a necessity to find an alternative to hostility and violence and therefore dialogue is the order of the day. Since Christians are still by far the largest faith-group, and the US has economic resources, US Christians have a natural predominance in dialogue. Is that good or bad from the stand point of the minority Other? One such minority is a major sub-division of Hinduism, namely Vaishnavism. Christian-Vaishnava dialogue in the US is a new phenomenon in the past two decades and an emerging minority representative is a globalized Vaishnava organization ISKCON, popularly known as the Hare Krishna movement, which has its Western roots in the counter-culture of the 1960’s. While ISKCON struggled for legitimacy in the 70’s and ‘80’s, it has in recent decades become a major factor in Hindu and especially Vaisnava representation. How American Christians respond today to Vaishnava dialogue and how this typology arose and functions as a theoretical basis for the on-going development of Christian-Vaishnava dialogue is the subject of this action-research minor field study.

Bhaktivedanta Swami's American Scripture

Lasher, Christa Marie 19 April 2010 (has links)
This essay explores ISKCON’s religious text A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, as an American scripture. This commentary expressed a philosophy which attracted ISKCON’s American converts and gave voice to the protest they had against the larger American culture. Using Thomas Tweed’s theory of dissent, I show how the Bhagavad Gita As It Is gave the American converts of the 1960s and 1970s a language of dissent in the larger American conversation and allowed them to create an alternative American identity. In this way, the Bhagavad Gita is an American text.

Den religiösa turismen i Gokarna : en analys av västerländsk nyandlighet i österländsk kontext

Mörk, Emil January 2005 (has links)
<p>Söder om Goas partystränder ligger den ganska fridfulla staden Gokarna. Gokarna har sedan början på 1980-talet varit en träffpunkt för både religiöst sökande västerlänningar och indier som insett att de kan tjäna pengar på de nyfikna turisterna. Turister som söker sig utanför sina trygga hem för att fylla andliga hål som den västerländska kulturen lämnat öppna. Jag fascinerades av den andlighet som uppstår bland turister som lever lata dagar på stränder där allt är serverat för en billig penning. Den andlighet som kommer av introspektion i en religiös omgivning.</p><p>Jag har själv sedan början av 2000-talet då jag genomförde min första resa till Indien varit en del av den växande ungdomskultur som kan kallas backpacker. Det är med mina egna erfarenheter av resande och religiös nyfikenhet jag nu har påbörjat min tredje resa i Indien som ska resultera i en uppsats om andligt sökande västerlänningar i Gokarna, Indien.</p><p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka kartlägga några av de tankar och handlingar rörande religion och ritual som mina informanter, backpackers i Gokarna, Indien har.</p>

Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka kartlägga några av de tankar och handlingar rörande religion och ritual som mina informanter, backpackers i Gokarna, Indien har.
