Reflections on Salvation

Reflections on Salvation is Kiriti Sengupta’s most recent work, and interestingly, this is is not a book of poetry but a rare genre, which according to Mary Madec falls into the category of “Flash Wisdom.” As The Yellow Chair Review puts it,“….The book won’t tell you how to think, but would importantly point out that you need to think. High time!.…” The writer writes in stark prose and unwaveringly interrogates the people who have been associated with the religious beliefs of the mass in India, and this takes courage to this sort of a thing. In the passages that Sengupta pen in this book, we get a glimpse of the anger that breathes like ember in the mind of a man who is hell bent on reason, and not blindly following in the dictums of godmen. As Casey Dorman writes in the foreword to this volume— “His beautiful small book, Reflections onSalvation, wrestles with the conflict between the strict scriptural (i.e The Geeta) interpretation of salvation that recognizes that it may represent different things for different people, including the massive number of people who seek or findsalvation without having ever read The Geeta.”
