{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2018}}{{Use Indian English|date=June 2018}}{{italic title}}{{Orphan|date=August 2012}}The Light of the East was a monthly review founded in 1922^[1] at Calcutta by Georges Dandoy, SJ (1882-1962) and Pierre Johanns, SJ.^[2] Dandoy was the chief editor.^[3] The monthly ceased publication in 1934.^[4]

Founding and objective

Dandoy and Johanns were young Jesuits, newly arrived in India, when they met Brahmachari Animananda, disciple of Brahmobandhav Upadhyay. Animananda encouraged them in their desire to begin a journal that would carry on the spirit of inquiry initiated by Upadhyay.^[5] P. Turmes reports that Animananda’s face brightened up when the two Jesuits laid before him the proposal for a journal that would present Christ to India in a way adapted to her mentality and culture.^[6]

Both Dandoy and Johanns contributed regularly to the review. Several of Johanns' contributions were later published in book form under the title To Christ to the Vedanta.^[7] Other contributors included members of the so-called Calcutta School of Indology.

Holdings
