| Summary: | Rammohun Roy and Debendranath Tagore : between Advaita critique and devotional theism -- Rajnarayan Basu : between religious intuition and ecstatic Vaiṣṇavism -- Bijoy Krishna Goswami : between Caitanya Vaiṣṇavism and Brahmo universalism -- Sitanath Tattvabhushan and Bipin Chandra Pal : between Hegelian universalism and Vaiṣṇava devotionalism -- Sivanath Sastri and Pratap Chandra Mozoomdar : between the social gospel and Brahmo devotionalism -- Bankim Chandra Chatterjee : between Brahmo rationalities and Vaiṣṇava affectivities -- Competing visions of Hindu universalism. "In The Brahmo Samaj and its Vaiṣṇava Milieus: Intersections of Hindu Knowledge and Love in Nineteenth Century Bengal, Ankur Barua offers an intellectual history of the motif of religious universalism in the writings of some intellectuals associated with the Brahmo Samaj (founded in 1828). They constructed Hindu worldviews that were simultaneously rooted in some ancient Sanskritic materials and orientated towards contemporary universalist visions with western hues. These constructions were shaped by their dialectical engagements with three groups: members of the Bengali middle classes with sceptical standpoints ('Young Bengal'), Christian missionaries, and Hindu Vaiṣṇava thinkers. In this genealogy of religious universalisms, Barua indicates how certain post-1900 formulations of the universalist compass of Hinduism were being enunciated across Brahmo circles from the 1820s"-- |
