Universal salvation only happens through the name "Jesus" (Acts 3:12). For obvious reasons, only Christians can call on the name "Jesus" to be saved. What about people of other religions who do not know the name "Jesus"? Universal salvation is through the Mediator. To save all of humanity, the divine person manifested himself in history, Jesus of Nazareth. People of other religions seeking salvation invoke the name of the mediator they know. Do they have to wa
Universal salvation only happens through the name "Jesus" (Acts 3:12). For obvious reasons, only Christians can call on the name "Jesus" to be saved. What about people of other religions who do not know the name "Jesus"? Universal salvation is through the Mediator. To save all of humanity, the divine person manifested himself in history, Jesus of Nazareth. People of other religions seeking salvation invoke the name of the mediator they know. Do they have to wait for salvation until they invoke the name "Jesus"? Panikkar analyses the question in the categories of person, name, myth, symbol and history. Without relativising the belief that the name "Jesus" stands for universal salvation, Panikkar explains the value of the other names of the one mediator to whom the various religions refer. These considerations have implications for the question of salvation not only for people of different religions but also for all ETIs throughout the universe. It may take millions of light years for the name ‘Jesus’ to reach the ETIs.

Christology in a multi-religious context can help realise a Christology in the intergalactic consciousness of ETI civilisations. Israel-centred ‘salvation’ turned to the world, now to the ETIs in the millions of galaxies. Panikkar's inter-religious context: the mystery CHRIST, whose symbol is the historical Jesus, will help to represent Jesus in galactic consciousness, to have a galactic Christophany that goes beyond the ecumenical Christophany that Panikkar had envisioned.
The Mediating Mystery CHRIST, although unknown, present in all religions, is Deo ignoto. Rigvedic expression ‘what God’ (kasmai devāya) (RV 10, 121, 1-9) is not a question but naming the unknown Mediator, the cosmotheandric principle, the prajāpati (RV 10, 121, 10). Athenians had an altar reserved for the unknown God, Agnostos Theos. Perceiving that the altar was for the unknown Mediator of the Athenians, St Paul preached Christ in Areopagus (Act
The Mediating Mystery CHRIST, although unknown, present in all religions, is Deo ignoto. Rigvedic expression ‘what God’ (kasmai devāya) (RV 10, 121, 1-9) is not a question but naming the unknown Mediator, the cosmotheandric principle, the prajāpati (RV 10, 121, 10). Athenians had an altar reserved for the unknown God, Agnostos Theos. Perceiving that the altar was for the unknown Mediator of the Athenians, St Paul preached Christ in Areopagus (Acts 17:22 ff.). The unknown CHRIST, which Christians call Jesus Christ, is unknown both to Hinduism and to Christianity. The Unknown God of Rigveda and of Athenians, the second book of the series, Panikkar’s Christological prayāṇa, deals more about Panikkar’s explication of the principle of Mediation of an Absolute Brahman with the world analysing the Brahmasutra. Īśvara of Hindu scriptures is not explicitly about Christ. The Christ of Christians cannot be equated with Īśvara. Still, if one analyses the `sensus plenior', a fuller sense of humanity's philosophical and theological texts, one arrives at the `res significata', the intended thing of the advaitic Īśvara leading to the philosophical possibility of a Christ.
Christ, according to Raimundo Panikkar, must not be limited to the Christian context, a saviour in history, in the context of world religions. As Hinduism experiences a transhistorical mediator with ten thousand echoes, it will be more appropriate to describe Christ as a ‘cosmotheandric mystery’.

Christ, according to Raimundo Panikkar, must not be limited to the Christian context, a saviour in history, in the context of world religions. As Hinduism experiences a transhistorical mediator with ten thousand echoes, it will be more appropriate to describe Christ as a ‘cosmotheandric mystery’. Panikkar's Christological Prayāṇa series presents the insights that are particular to the understanding of the Christ-mystery in Hindu religious experience. Saṃgama of Religions: Panikkar’s Christological prayāṇa 1, the first book in the series, deals more with Panikkar's semantics to understand his Christological insights. A comprehensive bibliography of Panikkar is included, also with a view to the forthcoming books in the series.

'പൂജ്യത്തിലൂടെ പൂർണ്ണത: യേശുവചനമനനം’, മറ്റ് ഭാഷകളിൽ പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിച്ച എന്റെ പുസ്തകത്തിന്റെ വിവർത്തനം. ഈ പുസ്തകത്തിൽ ക്രമരഹിതമായ ക്രമത്തിൽ വ്യത്യസ്ത വിഷയങ്ങളും അടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്നു. "'പൂജ്യത്തിലൂടെ പൂർണ്ണതയിലേക്ക്," എന്നതാണ് ആദ്യത്തെ വിഷയം.
മനുഷ്യരാശിയിലെ കാര്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള ശരിയായ വീക്ഷണം ലഭിക്കുന്നതിന് ലോകത്തിൽ നിന്നും സഹജീവികളിൽ നിന്നും ശേഖരിച്ച അനുഭവങ്ങൾ ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്ന ഒരാള് സ്രഷ്ടാവിനെ കണ്ടുമുട്ടാൻ തന്നിലേക്കുതന്നെ ആഴത്തിൽ പ്രവേശിക്കുന്നു. തച്ചനായ യേശുവിന്റെ ഭാഷയിൽ, മനുഷ്യത്വത്തിന്റെ വാക്യഘടനയോടെ, ദൈവശാസ്ത്രപരമായ ചിന്തകൾ സാധാരണക്കാർക്ക് പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കുന്നത് വലിയ ഉത്തരവാദിത്തമാണ്. ദൈവശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞർക്ക് വേണ്ടി മാത്രമല്ല, സാധാരണക്കാരിലേക്ക് എത്തിച്ചേരാനും ഞാൻ ബാധ്യസ്ഥനാണ്.
God's Chosen People: Engaging the Words of Jesus contains 12 themes in random order. The first theme, “Humanity as the Chosen Race and the People”, places the ‘chosennes’ in the context of all cultures and religions, as a rethinking of the ‘Chosen People’ is urgently needed.

God's Chosen People: Engaging the Words of Jesus contains 12 themes in random order. The first theme, “Humanity as the Chosen Race and the People”, places the ‘chosennes’ in the context of all cultures and religions, as a rethinking of the ‘Chosen People’ is urgently needed. Some ‘chosen races’, with the support of their racist ideology for hate crimes and the ‘holy apocalyptic war’, try to dominate and rule others by taking and misinterpreting elements even from the Israeli and Christian religions. The search for a correct understanding of divine chosenness is not to declare it a myth, but to reject a dangerous exclusivism. Created in the image of God, with the consciousness of being chosen and especially loved by God the Father, the humanity hears a divine call not to have privileges but to take responsibility. All are chosen to work with God to create a new heaven and a new earth (Rev 21). Chosen-ness is a ‘project’ that God has entrusted to all. Humanity is on the pilgrimage to the eschatological fulfilment of the chosennes through acts of love, service and suffering.
The book contains different topics in random order. ‘New Horizons from Disasters’ is the first one. The present pandemic in the world has reached almost apocalyptic proportions in 2020. The book of Revelation, amidst the cosmic catastrophes, had a great vision of hope. So also, the present terrible disaster could lead to something new in the horizons of the world.

The book contains different topics in random order. ‘New Horizons from Disasters’ is the first one. The present pandemic in the world has reached almost apocalyptic proportions in 2020. The book of Revelation, amidst the cosmic catastrophes, had a great vision of hope. So also, the present terrible disaster could lead to something new in the horizons of the world. It is a great responsibility to express theological thoughts for the lay people. Entering deep into silence for reflection is not for a monologue. In the solitude of the heart one meets his Creator "day and night." (Ps 1:2). The thoughts wander through the experience one has gained with one's fellow human beings and also with nature. Engaging the Words of Jesus is the title of the series of books I am intending to publish. ‘Engaging’ rather than ‘contemplating’ or ‘meditating’: Apostle Peter heard the words of his Master, to let down the nets for a catch (Lk 5:4); ‘meditated’ and also engaged the words of Jesus. Ultimately he did what the Word inspired him to do.
All Lives Matter, Myopia of Humanity: Engaging the Words of Jesus contains different topics in random order. Black Lives Matter, Myopia of Humanity is the first one. The differences in the humanity are outside visual spectrum of some people. ‘Black Lives Matter’, or ‘I cannot breathe’ calls for attention from the nations.

All Lives Matter, Myopia of Humanity: Engaging the Words of Jesus contains different topics in random order. Black Lives Matter, Myopia of Humanity is the first one. The differences in the humanity are outside visual spectrum of some people. ‘Black Lives Matter’, or ‘I cannot breathe’ calls for attention from the nations. Slavery was to keep people as animals as the workforce. Aristotle and Plato viewed slaves had inferior souls. Anti-Semitism systematically annihilated Jews by the Nazis. Was not because slavery that, during certain ancient and later times, religious and cultural monuments and edifices ‘wonders of the world’ erected? But nobody cares or is even aware of the brutality meted out to the slaves behind each of these edifices. Is it not the slave force that made some nations super rich? Even the justice systems down the millennia were fashioned after the established systems of slavery and other discriminations. This mental pandemic of discrimination and oppression of minority cultures are continuing. Humans have to look at all the human beings in the world from a higher echelon, from a divine perspective from where God is seeing all human beings as His own children.
Jesus' Place in Marketing Strategy: Engaging the Words of Jesus, contains several topics in random order. "Jesus the Marketing Superstar" is the first topic. One in three people in the world is a follower of Jesus. Some 7Ps were applied by Jesus. Product, promotion, people, place and price: Jesus offered the product, the kingdom of God, to people at a very high price. Jesus knew the place where people were in need.

Jesus' Place in Marketing Strategy: Engaging the Words of Jesus, contains several topics in random order. "Jesus the Marketing Superstar" is the first topic. One in three people in the world is a follower of Jesus. Some 7Ps were applied by Jesus. Product, promotion, people, place and price: Jesus offered the product, the kingdom of God, to people at a very high price. Jesus knew the place where people were in need. The poor will not be on the radar of marketing strategists. Here lies the stark contrast to Jesus' strategy. He turned the entire marketing strategy on its head. Jesus' marketing strategy starts with the poorest. Although there are 7 P's, the marketing strategists are not aware of one important P, the person of Jesus, who gave himself so that the whole world could believe in him and form a community. The old Roman marketing principle of bread and circus was only superficial. Yes, Jesus fed the hungry, but he knew the basic spiritual needs of the people that they were not aware of. Here Jesus is telling the marketing strategists to keep in mind not only the material but also the basic spiritual needs of the people and to include this principle in their marketing strategy.
