• W2004995087 abstract "The course in non-Christian religions is always a difficult one to teach for it is usually added to the load of a professor who has had his training in some other field. Rarely has the teacher had the opportunity to travel in Asia or to know intimately people who as Buddhists, or Hindus, or Muslims live in a culture shaped by their faith. Even the books which we have available have usually been written by western Christians, describing other faiths from the Christian point of view. As we sat around listing the difficulties which we face in teaching religions other than our own we began to dream of the materials we should like to have. We decided that we should like to have a book written by devout followers of each non-Christian faith, but edited by a westerner so that it could be used with understanding by our undergraduates. Then, to help the student to realize that the religion is a vital contemporary force, we decided that we should like to have a recording of typical religious music and a collection of colored slides showing the practices which are followed today. I was asked to draw up a plan for such a project, and chose to work first with Hinduism since I had once lived in Hindu ashrams in India and felt strongly the need for materials which would present Hinduism as I had known it there. The plan was submitted to The National Council on Religion in Higher Education, and a generous grant from The Edward W. Hazen Foundation made it possible to undertake the task of gathering these materials. We drew up an outline of the material which we thought should be covered in a book describing Hinduism. When I got to India I made a tour of the chief cities and pilgrimage places, showing the outline to p ofessors, business men, swamis, and holy men, asking them if a book written to such an outline would be fair and representative. Many of their suggested additions and changes of emphasis were incorporated in the plan for the book. Then I pointed out that the book seemed to fall in seven sections and asked them who, in their opinion, w re the best people in the country to write the different parts. I stressed the fact that we wanted men who were recognized as devout Hindus as well as competent scholars. I i terviewed over a hundred suggested writers and finally chose seven who wrote he chapters requested. They turned out to be professors because I found that of the people I interviewed only those who had had the experience of teaching could hold themselves to an outline and could explain in simple terms the complex ideas of Hinduism." @default.
