In 1839 a diverse group of Hindu leaders began gathering in
Calcutta to share and propagate their faith in a non-idolatrous
form of worship. The group, known as the Tattvabodhini Sabha, met
weekly to worship and hear discourses from members on the virtues
of a rational and morally responsible mode of worship. They called
upon ancient sources of Hindu spirituality to guide them in
developing a form of modern theism they referred to as "Vedanta."
In this book, Brian Hatcher translates these hitherto unknown
discourses and situates them against the backdrop of religious and
social change in early colonial Calcutta. Apart from bringing to
light the theology and moral vision of an association that was to
have a profound influence on religious and intellectual life in
nineteenth-century Bengal, Hatcher's analysis promotes reflection
on a variety of topics central to understanding the development of
modern forms of Hindu belief and practice.
