Book Description
Drawing on the long and arduous history between the Indigenous people of North America and the Christian church that colonists brought to them, the harmful relationship of the past must be addressed. To move forward so that Native American spiritual practices have much to offer the Christian world of spiritual living, a way, a spirit of respect and reverence must be established. For centuries, these two deeply spiritual worlds were told that they could not and would not coexist. Drawing deep attention to ways Native American spiritual practices have been misappropriated and trivialized over the years through a lack of reverence draws us into a deeper sense of respect and appreciation for non-Native persons and offers a new sense of hope and beginning for Native peoples that continue to struggle with the voices of the past telling them that being fully Native and fully Christian are incompatible. There is a new reality that these two worlds very much can and should coexist, and it is a good and joyful thing for all people to begin to explore where Native American cultures and faith intersect.

The Christ of the Indian Road
Author: E. Stanley Jones
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426719205
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Jones recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture where they are bringing Christ. Instead he makes the case that Christians learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.

Finding God in Everything
Author: Pandikattu Kuruvilla Sj
Publisher: Indian Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge
ISBN: 9788194759232
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Where do we find God? How do we experience Him? This book assumes that we begin our experience of God in a concrete person, event or word. From that we go to explore the larger dimensions of life and study the deeper values inherent in it. So, we move from the material to the spiritual, from the mundane to the perfect, without in any way sacrificing the material or the mundane. This book, therefore, is a modest attempt to show that we experience God in everything and nothing, in everyone and none. In our rivals and enemies, in our friends and admirers. In the good things that happen to us and in the evil ones!

Finding God through Yoga
Author: David J. Neumann
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469648644
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952), a Hindu missionary to the United States, wrote one of the world's most highly acclaimed spiritual classics, Autobiography of a Yogi, which was first published in 1946 and continues to be one of the best-selling spiritual philosophy titles of all time. In this critical biography, David Neumann tells the story of Yogananda's fascinating life while interpreting his position in religious history, transnational modernity, and American culture. Beginning with Yogananda's spiritual investigations in his native India, Neumann tells how this early "global guru" emigrated to the United States in 1920 and established his headquarters, the Self-Realization Fellowship, in Los Angeles, where it continues today. Preaching his message of Hindu yogic philosophy in a land that routinely sent its own evangelists to India, Yogananda was fueled by a religious nationalism that led him to conclude that Hinduism could uniquely fill a spiritual void in America and Europe. At the same time, he embraced a growing belief that Hinduism's success outside South Asia hinged on a sincere understanding of Christian belief and practice. By "universalizing" Hinduism, Neumann argues, Yogananda helped create the novel vocation of Hindu yogi evangelist, generating fresh connections between religion and commercial culture in a deepening American religious pluralism.
