Feel free to comment on things you read at these links and start a discussion, maybe it will inspire me!
since you are light on ideas .......have you heard of the bauls in india (mostly in bengal)?
ReplyDeletethere is a recent book by dalrymple - nine lives.
it narrates nine stories based on individuals from diverse religious traditions in modern india .
one of the chapters is about the bauls.
there is also a recent bengali movie - moner manush (dearest man - possibly alluding to god) . it is a kind of biographical film on the most famous baul - lalan fakir.
by the way, today is vivekananda's birthday. correct me if i am wrong - but i think he is the first person who took hinduism to west.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the thoughts. I will go do some reading and see what I find! :)
