Weil and Hinduism



Simone Weil and Hinduism was an area of interest to the co-creator of this bibliography, Debra Jensen, who very sadly passed away just over a year ago.  She wrote her MA thesis and published an article on this subject:


  • Debra Joanne Jensen, "Simone Weil, the Gita and the Upanishads," M.A., University of Calgary (Canada), 1989.
  •  Debra Joanne Jensen, "Soteriology from a Christian and Hindu Perspective," Journal of Dharma 14.4 (1989): 353-365.

In a recent issue of Cahiers Simone Weil 36.1 (2013): 31-42,  Mac Ballanfat  has an extensive article on Weil's interest in Hinduism entitled "Ce que voit Simone Weil dans le miroir de l'Inde ou la vérité du désir."

Other works I have collected on Weil and Hinduism include:

  • Bingemer, Maria Clara L. "War, suffering and detachment: reading the Bhagavad Gītā  with Simone Weil " Song divine : Christian commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita. Ed. Cornille, Catherine. Christian commentaries on non-Christian sacred texts. Leuven: Peeters, 2006. 69-89.
