What does the Christian Logos share with the Dao and Brahman?

In this carefully reasoned work of comparative theology, Nilanjana Bhadra—a Vedanta-trained physicist who became a Christian—explores the resonances between three of the world’s deepest spiritual traditions. Without collapsing their differences, she illuminates family resemblances in their understanding of ultimate reality, human suffering, salvation, and the path to inner peace.

Drawing on scripture, the Upanishads, the Dao Te Ching, and mystical writers from Meister Eckhart to Ramana Maharshi, Logos, Dao and Brahman offers a model of interfaith dialogue that is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually generous.

Key themes include:
The Trinity and non-duality: unity without erasing distinction
Grace and Wu Wei: surrender as the heart of transformation
The Kingdom within and the Self as Brahman: awakening to what has always been present

With a preface clarifying her interpretive framework and a final section on what this book does not claim, Bhadra invites readers—whether Christian, Daoist, Vedantin, or simply seekers—into a conversation that honors tradition while opening it to the wider wisdom of humanity.

“Not all paths are the same. But they all lead up the same mountain.”
Nilanjana Bhadra holds graduate degrees in physics and education. She writes from the crossroads of her Hindu heritage, Christian faith, and deepening affinity with Daoist thought.
