Christinanity
is the most widely followed religion in the world . Jesus did not come
to explain suffering or to take it away: He came to fill it with His
Presence. To give to the world the concepts of charity compassion
and liberation.
In India, The Christian Ashram is a unique development, as it is a
synthesis of the East and the West. It is open to the lay community
and to people of all faiths.
It looks at a more universal idea of God, it encourages solitude,
meditation and sacraments, has Hindu elements like the aarti, flame
the hymns of bhajans and the placing of the tilak. In its simplicity
and emphasis on prayer life it is closer to the early Desert Fathers
whose spirituality bore little relation to the later institutions of
the Western Church.
