Nonviolence in Vaishnava Philosophy: Its relevance
Authors
Shiuli Kower
Abstract
This article discusses the origins and manifestations of nonviolence
within Vaishnava thought, exploring its scriptural foundations, philosophical
interpretations, and significance in modern society. It contends that
nonviolence is not a passive or secondary virtue; rather, it is a dynamic force
in Vaishnava practice that promotes compassion, justice, and spiritual growth.
Ahimsa, or nonviolence, is a fundamental tenet strongly embedded in India's
religious and philosophical traditions that significantly shapes ethical
behavior, social relations, and spiritual practices. Through critical study, it
elucidates how Vaishnava teachings on nonviolence continue to serve as a
significant source of guidance for individual conduct, communal unity, and the
quest for global peace.
