Bhakti as a Basis for Religious Pluralism: A Theological Sketch of Chaitanya Vaishnavism

Abstract

Schweig builds a theology of pluralism rooted in bhakti (divine love and sharing). He argues that since bhakti means participation, it opens a path to true pluralism that is both relational and devotional. Drawing from Chaitanya’s teachings, Schweig presents a vision where deep love allows sincere recognition of spiritual beauty in other traditions.
