Abstract | In Hinduism Advaitā Vedānta conceptualises God as ekam eva advityam: one-only-without-a-second. In such a characteristically monistic paradigm the tripersonal God of Christianity appears as unacceptable and absurd before the perspective of an impersonal God ? God without attributes (nirguna Brahman) - that enjoys a level higher than a personal God - God with attributes (saguna Brahman). Nonetheless, the impersonal God, presumed as the highest God, Brahman (Parabrahman), is positively affirmed by Sankara, the greatest proponent of Advaitā Vedānta, as Sat-Cit-Ānand (Being-Consciousness-Bliss). This affirmation of Sankara convinces Brahmabandhab Upādhyāy, the founding father of Indian Christian theology, to propose a Tripersonal God to Advaitā Vedānta, thanks to his theological and philosophical formation in Thomism. |
