Description

About The Book: A Defence of Hindoo Theism in Reply to the Attack of An Advocate for Idolatry, At Madras is a work by Ram Mohan Roy in which he defends Hindu theism against criticisms, particularly those targeting the practice of idol worship. Written in response to an attack by a British missionary, the text argues that Hinduism's monotheistic foundations, rooted in the Upanishads and Vedantic philosophy, are misunderstood. Roy emphasizes the unity of God, interpreting idols not as literal deities but as symbolic representations to aid in spiritual devotion. This work is part of his broader efforts to modernize Hindu thought and challenge colonial and missionary narratives.
