108 Names Of Sai Baba In Hindi

. There is still some coordinating inclusivism here with the vari-

108 Names Of Sai Baba Pdf

ous religions being homologized, and there is a subtle exclusivist subtext, for his

capitalized assertion does not take heed of the fact that several major sects

amongst the religions to which he refers do not view divinity in this manner. This

could thus still be seen as exemplifying the second of the types proposed by

Forsthoefel and Humes—the type with which they align Sathya Sai Baba. But, I

would argue, in this we also encroach upon the territory of hierarchical (rather

than horizontally coordinating) inclusivism, for the “other” religions are not so

much coordinated or even subordinated to a Hindu advaita viewpoint as subsumed

by it—as the imprints of smaller animals disappear in the footprint of an elephant.

In this understanding, as we saw Sathya Sai Baba put it at the head of this section:

‘Really speaking, there is no other system or faith. …The Aathma is one’.

As I noted earlier, Halbfass acknowledges that there is sometimes an overlap

between the two types of inclusivism that he posits, and this is perhaps in evidence

here, and, whilst Forsthoefel and Humes do not provide a similar disclaimer to

their typology, I would suggest that Sathya Sai Baba’s assertion here invokes their

other “type” of inclusivism as well—‘egalitarian inclusivism’. They cite Ramana

Maharshi (1879-1950) as the paradigm case for this view, and, as Forsthoefel

(2005:46) notes, Ramana Maharshi’s inclusivism ‘is entirely in keeping with his

non-dual metaphysic; we are the Self; differences are only circumstantial modifica-

tions’. The “same goal” of “all religions” is very much an advaitic goal (it is not

the typical bhakti goal of eternally worshipping Kṛṣṇa in heaven, nor is it the (exo-

teric) Christian or Islamic goal of eternal life in paradise as granted through inter-

cession by Jesus/Mohammed on the day of judgement). And this is a traditional

advaita understanding

; Halbfass (1988:356) writes:

Even the great Śaṅkarācārya himself explained that what the Vedānta regards as the

goal of its desire to know (jijñāsā), the one Brahman, the one Ātman, is also the ul-

timate intention of the other philosophies….

Of course, the adjectives “hierarchical” and “egalitarian” do not sit well together

(even if we were to see the latter as a sub-type—sans subordination), and we

might question whether there is any justification at all for the latter of these. But

NB It is also highlighted in Neo-Hinduism—see, e.g., Arvind Sharma (1979), who discusses this

and a number of subtle variations upon it (especially vis-à-vis Ramakrishna). Sharma takes a phi-

losophical tack, reifying Hinduism, but does makes some interesting points.
