Dharma and Grief: Suffering, Empathy and Moral Imaginative Intuition

Drawing from some comparative work (academic and personal) in the study of grief, mourning and empathy, we shall discuss the treatment of this tragic pathos in classical Indic literature and modern-day psychotherapy. We shall demonstrate, despite being secularised, these emotions continue to serve as the sites of imagination at a much more personal and inter-personal level that are not antithetical to a Dharmic (sacred) quest despite their haunting presence even when 'the four walls collapse around one in the intensity of duḥkha (suffering, sorrow)

Raj showed immense interest in Indian cultural productions and the ways in which a culture, along with its artifacts, historical nemesis, and also popular religiosity, could undergo transformation, even if it takes a subversive impulse to trigger that subtle or momentous change in the power relations. He tells us how after observing rituals occurring at a Hindu shrine for quite a few weeks, his desire to partake of the prasada from the coconut offering became irresistible, so much so that he finally dashed across to the shrine to receive a few slivers of the smashed coconut which he consumed with relish. This act was performed in a hybridly marked cultural space and, as Selva describes it, in “an interactive and assimilative spirit—some might say, transgressive spirit” (2008a, 48). The second narrative describes how, after a Hindu puja was performed at the construction site of his elder brother’s planned home, his Catholic sister-in-law proceeds to complement the Hindu mason’s vastu rites with her own idiosyncratic Catholic one, wherein she sprinkles holy water and places a crucifix and other Christian votive items around all four corners and pramanic-andaz the mason had chalked out
