Description
Summary:Fellowship in Religious Experience (FIRE) is a programme organised by the Centre for the Study of World Religions, Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram, Bangalore, promoting understanding among religions and inter-religious harmony. It is a creative and fruitful response to religious pluralism in India, and serve as a model for cosmopolitan and metropolitan cities where peoples of different religions and cultures are learning to live together in harmony. FIRE fosters interest and understanding in the religious dimensions of societies and peoples in India, enabling the participants to understand and interpret the diverse religious beliefs and practices. Through a phenomenological and participative approach to the study of religion, the programme shows the uniqueness of each religion with similarities and differences with other traditions. The participants visit sacred places of various religious traditions and share in the spiritual and social life of believers, monks, and nuns. Besides listening to discourses and meditations given by Gurus and Mathas, the participants observe rituals and participate in festivals of these religious and cultural centres.
