Was a Benedictine monk who felt the urge to visit India. His Awakening started in the Presence of Ramana Maharshi in 1949. Traveled to Rishikesh the early 70's but died in 1973. ... http://www.innerdirections.org/journal/biographies/abhishiktananda/ ... "Abhishiktananda knew India's mystical life was true, yet he continued to experience conflict with his simple but profound Christian faith" ... "Abhishiktananda's incredibly rich appropriation of non-duality is a great challenge to Christian theology and Spirituality". ... [note: the term "Hindu" may not be appropriate in the context of Ramana Maharshi, since the latter never regarded himself as a Hindu. In terms of A's challenge to reconcile Christianity with Advaita; there may be "irreconcialable differences" (words used by MZ) involved; but imo such differences pertain to the "theology" and not the "Spirituality". ...ymmv]
