When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu was touring South India, He spent the four months during the rainy season called Caturmasya in Shri Rangam at the house of Vyenkata Bhatta, the chief priest of the Ranganatha Temple. His son, Shri Gopala Bhatta, was then able to serve the Lord to his heart's con-tent. Being pleased by his devotion, Shri Caitanya gave him initiation and ordered him to go to Vrin-davana after the disappearance of his parents. There he should remain with Rupa and Sanatana doing bhajana and writing books. - At the age of thirty, after the death of his parents, Gopala Bhatta, left for Vrindavana. When Lord Caitanya heard that Gopala Bhatta Goswami had arrived in Vrindavana and had met Shri Rupa and Sanatana Goswami, He was very pleased. At that time Mahaprabhu had already visited Vrindavana. Although Rupa and Sanatana had gone to visit him in Puri, Gopala Bhatta never received any invitation to go. ...

Among the World religions Sikh religion comparatively is young. Numerically also the followers of Sikh religions are not large. According to the Census of India in the grand total of India's population i.e. 6659, 2879, 8491, the total number of Sikhs is 13,078. 146 out of which 8,937.210 are living in the Panjab province of India and the remaining 4,1409936 are scattered in the rest of the country.[1] These figures do not include the Sikhs living in other countries like the U.K., Canada, USA and other Western and Eastern countries. As these fig-ures show percentwise Sikhs are less than 2%, but they are having a special place among their country people an account of their special characteristics i.e. very hard workers, technicalminded, adventurous nature and willing to embrace all kinds of work. Because of their adventurous and enthusiastic nature, today they are found almost all over the world. On account, of visible insignia given by Sikhs' tenth Guru which includes uncut hair (and use of turban) makes the Sikhs' presence felt in any place. - In this brief study of Sikh religion I will be limiting myself only with one area. I will be looking from the historical perspectives how the Sikh religion came into existence and its growth during the period of 1469 AD - 1703 AD. This period is the most important, because - all the development of Sikh religion belongs to this era only. ...

Das Christentum in Kerala
(2000)
Nach der letzten indischen Volkszählung aus dem Jahre 1991 bekannten sich in Indien knapp 20 Mio. Menschen zum christlichen Glauben, was einem Bevölkerungsanteil von 2,34% entsprach. [1] Unter der Annahme, dass sich der Anteil der Christen an der Gesamtbevölkerung nicht signifikant verändert hat, liegt unter Berücksichtigung des allgemeinen Bevölkerungswachstums die Zahl der indischen Christen gegenwärtig bei etwa 23 Mio. Hinsichtlich der Verteilung der Christen gibt es erhebliche regionale Unterschiede. Über die Hälfte leben in den vier südlichen Unionsstaaten Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka und Andhra Pradesh, eine weitere Konzentration liegt im Nordosten Indiens (Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram und Manipur) vor, wo noch einmal gut 20% der Christen leben. In den anderen Landesteilen sind sie dagegen sehr viel weniger zahlreich vertreten. ...

Svami Vivekananda i buddizm
(2000)
Moderne Hindus verwenden die Bezeichnung Hinduismus in einem positiven Sinn. Sie gilt nicht mehr als lästige Fremd-, sondern als identitätsstiftende Selbstbezeichnung. Der historisch wirksamste Ideologe dieser neuen, man muß fast sagen genuinen Hinduismusbewegung, ist der in Kalkutta gebürtige Narendra Nath Datta (1863-1902). Dieser hochbegabte Sohn einer angesehenen Juristenfamilie wurde Schüler von Ramakrishna, dem glühenden Verehrer und Priester der Göttin Kali. Als Sannyasi erhielt er den Namen Swami Vivekananda und gründete den hochberühmten Ramakrishna-Orden. ...
