Na Nar Na Naari

In 2015 a historic panel discussion took place at the global Festival of Theology held in Sweden. Its objective was to examine what the sacred texts of the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism Christianity and Islam - had to say about human sexuality.

By bringing in perspectives from the Karmic faiths of Buddhism Jainism Sikhism and Hinduism which together represent the beliefs of almost a third of the world's population Na Nar Na Naari Phir Bhi Narayan the Hindi translation of I am Divine So Are You expands this conversation between world religions and human sexuality to a truly global level.

The theology of Karmic faiths is revealed at the intersection of scripture culture rituals and lived realities. And hence they are dynamic and amenable to a multiplicity of perspectives. They lend themselves more easily to a recognition and acceptance of fluidity in human sexuality.

This is a landmark book as it recasts religion - especially Karmic faiths - as an ally and not an adversary of queer emancipation and thus significantly informs the secular and legal movements for LGBTQ rights around the world.
