| Summary: | Swami Abhishiktananda was not a regular Hindu swami but rather a French Christian monk who adopted that name upon entering the mode of the life of a sennvssin, his original name being Henri La Saux,O.S.B. The Swami had a strong Advaitic experience upon meeting Ramana Maharsi and he spent the rest of his life integrating it with his experience of being aChristian. In this process he developed a concept of faith which shows an astonishing similarity to the definition of Bhakti attributed to Sankara. As Swami Abhishiktananda did not belong to the Hindu religious tradition or even, in the usual sense, to the orders of sannyasa founded by Sankara, his confirmation of Sankera's definition must be taken seriously into account.' |
