An Observer’s Reflections on a Constructive Śrīvaishnava Response to Pluralism

Abstract

Clooney explores how the Śrīvaishnava tradition, though grounded in strong theological commitments, exhibits openness toward religious dialogue. Through texts like the Śrīmad Rahasya-trayā-sāra, he suggests that Śrīvaishnavism values truth wherever found, making space for learning and interfaith respect without compromising core beliefs.
