Description
The Religion of the Brahmo Samaj is a comprehensive study of one of India’s most influential religious movements. Hem Chandra Sarkar provides an in-depth examination of the Brahmo Samaj’s foundational principles, which emerged as a reformist response to traditional Hinduism in 19th-century India.
The work explores the theological framework of the Brahmo Samaj, including its monotheistic approach to Hinduism and its rejection of idol worship. Sarkar delves into the spiritual practices, social reforms, and philosophical contributions of the movement, particularly through the teachings of Ram Mohan Roy and Debendranath Tagore.
This scholarly work serves as an essential reference for understanding how the Brahmo Samaj attempted to reconcile Hindu philosophy with modern rationalism and ethics. It remains a vital resource for students of religious history, Indian spirituality, and the broader context of 19th-century social reform movements in India.
