Hindu Wisdom for All God's Children introduces readers to the spiritual riches of Hindu India. Jesuit author Francis Clooney brings a wealth of scholarship and personal immersion in the thought and life of India to a wide range of students and seekers. In seven chapters Hindu Wisdom draws on aspects of Indian religious life, both ancient and modern. They include the creation myths and the discovery of the self; the realization of the self in theology and meditative traditions; the "self-awareness" of Gautama; the quest for direct experience of God in devotions to Krishna; the mystery of God in the traditions of Shiva; the cult of the great Goddess; and the spirituality of Mohandas Gandhi and Mahasweta Devi. Clooney also offers insights into how people live out these traditions today, continually raising points for comparative reflection, inviting readers to bring their own spiritual texts and insights into consideration. Hindu Wisdom for All God's Children serves as a fascinating introduction to deep and ancient traditions that will challenge and enrich the quest for the spiritual self.
