The Christian Ashram Movement in India Stipl Zdeněk
This book is one of the first to present a definitive history of the Christian Ashram Movement. It looks at how the Movement grew out of the colonial encounter and how it evolved through the years, which was contingent on developments within Christian churches outside India. It offers insights into the development of the Movement, Europe's Orientalist view of Eastern mysticism and how the concept of the ashram spread beyond the borders of India.Drawing extensively from ashram literature and the author's field research, the book critically analyzes the notions of inculturation in the encounter between Christianity and Hindu spirituality and ritualism.
The volume also discusses the reinterpretation of the idea of the ashram by Christian theologians, the introduction of elite Brahmanical concepts within the Movement and the unique theological perspectives which were nurtured in
