| In Hinduism, yajna
has been at the centre of Vedic thought and practice, epic and Puranic
literature. The Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita add new dimensions to it
through their spiritualization and interiorization and raising tapas and
bhakti into sacrifice. The concept of sacrifice has been transformed into an
ethical, spiritual and political value by Tilak and Gandhi in modern
Hinduism. Christianity’s interpretation of the mission of Jesus as a true,
non-ritual sacrifice resulted in the gift of salvation to the world. The
volume presents a deep understanding of the concept of sacrifice which is a
central thought in Hinduism and Christianity. It studies the way the two
traditions have related sacrifice to the reality of the whole cosmos
including the material universe. The Vedic view is seen as the best example
of creation through divine sacrifice, and the Christian Cross as that of
redemption through divine sacrifice. The cosmic dynamism of the Eucharistic
sacrifice is revealed through a study of four theologians. In this
painstaking work sacrifice is examined as a complex universal phenomenon
which has many-sided and multifaceted religious connotations. Thus it
discovers the complementarity and interconnection between Vedism and
Christianity. The book presents a new approach to study of religions and
religious concepts. It would prove useful for scholars of religious
studies. |
