KESHUB CHUNDER SEN (KESHAVA CHANDRA SENA) (1838-1884) , See also:Indian religious reformer, was See also:born of a high-See also:caste See also:family at See also:Calcutta in 1838. He was educated at one of the Calcutta colleges, where he became proficient in See also:English literature and See also:history. For a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

Hamilton, See also:Hugh See also:Blair, See also:Victor See also:Cousin, J. H. See also:Newman and R. W. See also:Emerson were among his favourite authors. Their See also:works made the deepest impression on him, for, as he expressed it, " Philosophy first taught me insight and reflection, and turned my eyes inward from the things of the See also:external See also:world, so that I began to reflect on my position, See also:character and destiny." Like many other educated See also:Hindus, Keshub Chunder Sen had gradually dissociated himself from the popular forms of the native See also:religion, without abandoning what he believed to be its spirit. As See also:early as 1857 he joined the Brahma Samaj, a religious association aiming at the See also:reformation of See also:Hinduism. Keshub Chunder Sen threw him.. self with See also:enthusiasm into the See also:work of this society and in 1862 himself undertook the See also:ministry of one of its branches. In the same See also:year he helped to found the See also:Albert See also:College 'and started the Indian See also:Mirror, a weekly See also:journal in which social and moral subjects were discussed. In 1863 he wrote The Brahma Samaj Vindicated. He also travelled about the See also:country lecturing and See also:preaching. The steady development of his reforming zeal led to a split in the society, which See also:broke into two sections, Chunder Sen putting himself at the See also:head of the reform See also:movement, which took the name " Brahma Samaj of See also:India," and tried to propagate
its doctrines by missionary enterprise. Its tenets at this time were the following: (1) The wide universe is the See also:temple of See also:God. (2) See also:Wisdom is the pure See also:land of See also:pilgrimage. (3) Truth is the See also:everlasting scripture. (4) Faith is the See also:root of all religions. (5) Love is the true spiritual culture. (6) The destruction of selfishness is the true See also:asceticism. In 1866 he delivered an address on '' Jesus See also:Christ, See also:Europe and See also:Asia," which led to the false impression that he was about to embrace See also:Christianity. This helped to See also:call See also:attention to him in Europe, and in 187o he paid a visit to See also:England. The See also:Hindu preacher was warmly welcomed by almost all denominations, particularly by the Unitarians, with whose creed the new Brahma Samaj had most in See also:common, and it was the See also:committee of the See also:British and See also:Foreign Unitarian Association that organized the welcome soiree at See also:Hanover Square Rooms on the 12th of See also:April. Ministers of ten different denominations were on the See also:platform, and among those who officially bade him welcome were See also:Lord See also:- LAWRENCE

Lawrence and See also:Dean See also:Stanley. He remained for six months in England, visiting most of the See also:chief towns. His eloquence, delivery and command of the See also:language won universal admiration. His own impression of England was somewhat disappointing. Christianity in England appeared to him too sectarian and narrow, too " See also:muscular and hard," and See also:Christian See also:life in England more materialistic and outward than spiritual and inward. " I came here an Indian, I go back a confirmed Indian; I came here a Theist, I go back a confirmed Theist. I have learnt to love my own country more and more." These words spoken at the fare-well soiree may furnish the See also:key to the See also:change in him which so greatly puzzled many of his English See also:friends. He See also:developed a tendency towards See also:mysticism and a greater leaning to the spiritual teaching of the Indian philosophies, as well as a somewhat despotic attitude towards the Samaj. He gave his See also:child daughter in See also:marriage to the See also:raja of Kuch See also:Behar; he revived the performance of mystical plays, and himself took See also:part in one. These changes alienated many followers, who deserted his See also:standard and founded the Sadharana (See also:General) Brahma Samaj (1878). Chunder Sen did what he could to reinvigorate his own See also:section by a new infusion of Christian ideas and phrases, e.g. " the New See also:Dispensation," " the See also:Holy Spirit." He also instituted a sacramental See also:meal of See also:rice and See also:water. Two lectures delivered between 1881 and 1883 throw a See also:good See also:deal of See also:light an his latest doctrines. They were " The Marvellous See also:Mystery, the Trinity," and " Asia's See also:Message to Europe." This latter is an eloquent plea against the Europeanizing of Asia, as well as a protest against Western sectarianism. During the intervals of his last illness he wrote The New Samhita, or the Sacred See also:Laws of the See also:Aryans of the New Dispensation. He died in See also:January 1884, leaving many See also:bitter enemies and many warm friends.
