Description
A collection of papers and articles by Mar Gregorios showing the spiritual-philosophical traditions of world's major religions especially South east-Asian Religions, viz. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
Religion as discussed in this book is not just one discipline among many, but rather all comprehensive realm of God-human and human-human relation.
The central message of Mar Gregorios' reflections on religion and Religious dialogues is his intuitions of Enlightenment which he envisages as having earth-shaking consequences, in all fields of life like education, medicine, economics, politics etc. a holistic life centered on a holistic perspective of religion continues to be the practical objective of all religious dialogues. This implies true complementary of true secularism and true religion, opening up immense possibilities for an integral world-view for the West and East..
