WHERE’S HERE? Bedford Square, in Londinium, a short hop from the British Museum and a shorter hop to the Tottenham Court Road, formerly the London haven for dodgy technology shops.
Who he? He was a Bengali founder of the Brahmo Samaj, and died in Bristol. He’s buried there. He is said to have coined the English word “Hinduism” and some regard him as the “father” of the Indian nation.
Some reckon that he was also partly responsible for the Mahanirvana Tantra, a text that describes a very pale and watered down version of Shaktism. There’s more about him, here. ♥
