Abstract

The author shares reflections on an approach to Hindu-Muslim dialogue based on his reading of the advice of theologian and Hindu reformer Bhaktivinoda Thakur. He relates his experience as a child of parents who are Hindu Indian immigrant where he grew up with an awareness of the Muslim as the most problematic and closest religious. It explores dialogue as frequently framed as the worship service's antipode, where worship evokes ideas of fidelity and rigidity to tradition.
