This book is one of the first to present a definitive history of
the Christian Ashram Movement. 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. 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. 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 these ashrams. The
book offers an alternative perspective to the generally perceived
history of Christianity in India. It will be of interest to
scholars and researchers of religious studies, Christianity,
sociology, social anthropology and religious history.
