Friends Event: Theism and Atheism in the Bhagavad-gita

Leicester Friends Event
Saturday, 25 June 2011 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Jalaram Community Centre,
Narborough Road,
Leicester LE3 0LF

A talk by Shaunaka Rishi Das of the Oxford Centre For Hindu Studies

In recent years a new brand of evangelical atheism has emerged in Britian, and its High Priests are articulate, literate, and media savy. Coupled with what many religious people see as an increase in the exclusion of religion from public sight and discourse, traditional religion in the UK feels under attack. Where do Hindus stand in this national debate? Although we don't hear much from the Hindu community in the UK  we can explore the ideas of theism and atheism, and the rational behind them as discussed by Krishna and Arjuna.
