Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri Le Saux OSB) was a French Benedictine monk who went to India in 1948 and devoted his life to becoming a bridge between East and West, between Hinduism and Christianity. To mark the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of this great pioneer of interreligious dialogue, Monastic Interreligious Dialogue sponsored a symposium in January 2010 at Shantivanam, the ashram he and Abbé Jules Monchanin founded in 1950. This book charts the influence that Abhishiktananda had on Christianity in India, on other spiritual seekers engaging with Hinduism and Christianity, and the continuing importance of his work today.
 William Skudlarek is a monk of Saint John's Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota. He now lives and works in Rome as Secretary General of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue In addition to having taught homiletics and liturgy at the School of Theology/Seminary of Saint John's University, he served as an associate of the Maryknoll Mission Society in Brazil for five years and was a member of Saint John's Abbey's priory in Japan for seven.
