Information - Love in the Time of Conflict: The Bonds of Bhakti in South Asia
Speaker: Dr. Ankur Barua
Ipswich Faith and Community Forum has partnered with the University of Suffolk to deliver our Annual Faith Open Lecture by Dr Ankur Barua. Central to many forms of Hinduism are ideas, imaginations, and institutions associated with bhakti.
One core dimension of bhakti is wholehearted love directed towards the divine reality — this has sometimes operated as a synthetic tissue across the borderlines of Hinduism and Indian Islam, as well as Hinduism and Indian Christianity.
In this talk, Dr Ankur Barua will explore the symbolic power of bhakti to facilitate certain types of interfaith engagement.
