Abstract
Religious experience is present in every religion. Since Dr. Radhakrishnan was born and brought up in an atmosphere where religion was dominant, he could associate himself with this thought from a young age. He was born in a dominant Hindu family but was brought up in a missionary school where he was taught christianity is dominant and most powerful. This dual training from a young age made him aware that the core content of all religions is the same. Difference lies only in the form of interpretation. This is exactly what Dr. Radhakrishnan endorsed when he refuted the supremacy of christianity. In this paper it is discussed how Radhakrishnan categorically refutes the special status of Christianity by taking the help of the arguments forwarded by the German Philosopher Schleiermacher.
