Description

This volume is the result of the proceedings of a seminar and presents a deep exploration of the concept of God in various religious and philosophical traditions worldwide. The work focuses on the understanding of Brahman in Hinduism, highlighting the relationship between the unmanifest Brahman and the manifest Universe. The book also contrasts this with the perspectives of Semitic religions, which make an absolute distinction between God and Man.

Key Highlights:

• Brahman in Hinduism and its relationship with the manifest Universe
• The Semitic religions and their view of God as separate from man
• God's glory and the nature of the Supreme Being, alongside lesser denominations of God
• Modern views of God as a human creation and residing in the mind of Man
• In-depth exploration of Upanishadic thought, Tibetan views on God, Islamic attributes of Allah, Zoroastrian beliefs, and Christianity
• Comparative analysis of Buddhism, Jainism, and Shamanic cosmogonies among certain Adivasi groups of Eastern India
• Study of the syncretic folk deities of Sundarbans in West Bengal
• Scholarly interpretations of cosmological, teleological, and ontological proofs for the reality of God

This scholarly work is an invaluable resource for those interested in comparative religious studies, and it offers a comprehensive examination of divinity across different cultures and belief systems.
