Abstract
Several recent studies have explored questions of mission and missiology in comparative, interreligious perspective. This essay also engages the possibility of an interreligious theology of mission, albeit with a narrow focus on the nondualist Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedānta. To this end, the author profiles four movements: the Ramakrishna movement, Ramanasramam, the Chinmaya Mission, and Transcendental Meditation. Each of these movements deploys distinctively Advaita concepts and method in a broadly missionary mode, and all aspire to transnational status. Finally, a few concluding reflections are offered on the new possibilities opened for Hindu-Christian theologies of mission in and out of an encounter—not with "Hinduism" or "world religions" in general but with this very particular missionary tradition.
