Fortunately, thanks to the work of scholars such as Jessica Fraser, things are changing.

Jessica Frazier is a lecturer in theology and religion at Trinity College, Oxford,

and fellow of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies.

Frazier is one of the world's

leading experts on Hindu philosophy, reshaping and globalising philosophy of religion for

the 21st century. As well as being the founding editor of the Journal of Hindu Studies,

she is best known for her books Reality, Religion and Passion, the Bloomsbury Companion

to Hindu Studies, and most recently Hindu worldviews, theories of self, ritual and reality.

Far from your ivory tower academic, Jessica is a committed public philosopher,

broadening the horizons of academics and the general public through her captivating writing style and regular media appearances.

As we shall see, Frasier's work demonstrates Hinduism's rich and insightful philosophical tradition,

a tradition that can shed light on life's greatest questions, from the nature of life, God and suffering, of the Panpsychast. I'm the cosmic fluid in depths unfathomed Mr. Jack Symes, and I'm joined once again by the cosmic egg, that is Mr.
