Prof. Trilochan Sastry unravels shared threads of world religions in his latest book

Essentials of World Religions

‘The Essentials of World Religions’, Prof. Sastry’s second publication with Penguin Random House, offers an in-depth analysis of the convergence between global faiths 

4 October, 2024, Bengaluru:  IIMB faculty Prof. Trilochan Sastry, Decision Sciences area, has unveiled his latest book, ‘The Essentials of World Religions’, published by Penguin Random House. The book offers an in-depth exploration into the core tenets of the world's major religions, looking to uncover a deeper understanding of their shared philosophies and values. 

In a world where religious identity—its interplay and, at times, contention—seems convoluted, Prof. Sastry’s book stands out by shedding light on the surprising commonalities between different faiths. Through meticulous analysis of primary religious texts and scriptures, Prof. Sastry argues that the world’s great religions—despite their doctrinal differences—often converge on key spiritual and moral principles. By challenging long-held assumptions, the book opens new avenues for a nuanced perspective on global religious harmony.  

As stated by Prof. Sastry, "Religious beliefs, in all their richness, are a testament to human plurality. Yet, when we delve into the source texts, a different picture emerges—one where underlying themes of unity, shared values, and spiritual enlightenment come to the fore." The book highlights how shared mystical and spiritual practices can become a bridge between faiths, paving the way for greater acceptance and understanding.
