Shrivatsa Goswami, Hinduism
In one word, the Hindu tradition is a history of returns. Spiritually it is a constant journey return to the source of one’s own being, the Divine. Theologically, the Divine keeps returning to the human arena, to guide and help the suffering lot. Textually, Hindu tradition keeps returning to its shastras, the sacred texts for renewing their understanding. And, amongst the popular places of such returns, Vrindavan the Playgrounds of Krishna, is a living pilgrimage centre.
Rabbi Daniel Kohn, Judaism
The theme of national exile and return forms the background for the individual’s path towards reconnection to one’s authentic and divine selfhood in Jewish teaching. This learning session will focus on both the broad and the personal aspects of humanity’s processes as they are reflected in Torah and our lives.
Bishop William Shomali, Christianity
The concept of return has many connotations in Christianity.
First – the restoration of the image of God in the sinner. Created to be free, holy, and happy, the sinner disfigured that image by his sins. Conversion and metanoia signify the return to that image.
Second – the return to the house of the father. The prodigal son, in Luke 15, after leaving his father’s house and dissipating his father’s wealth, regretted his action and made the trip of return, filled with hope that his father will not rebuke him. It is a parable about conversion of a sinner and his return to God’s precepts and communion with him.
Third – the return of Christ to heaven after his incarnation and the fulfillment of his mission. Christianity believes that Christ will come back again for the final judgment, which will assess everyone according to how he treated the poor and needy.
