No religion ever remains static: it affects and is in turn affected by material reality. In this book, Sharma examines the contours of this creative tension in contemporary Hinduism. Sharma attempts to raise self-awareness of this dimension of Hinduism to an unprecedented level. In this way, he hopes, that in the context of modernization and globalization, Hindus will be able to make conscious choices that will keep their religion at the cutting edge of the contemporary world instead of the periphery.
The agenda of this book is two-fold: to assess certain basic concepts of Hindu philosophy in the light of contemporary reality; and to reinterpret them in ways that seem appropriate for our times.
