Biography

Raimon Panikkar was born as the son of a Catholic Catalan and a Hindu Indian. His mother was a well-educated daughter of the Catalan bourgeoisie; his father derived from a high caste Malabar Nair family from South India. Panikkar's father was a freedom fighter during British colonial rule in India and escaped from Britain and married into a Catalan family. Panikkar's father studied in England and was the representant of a German chemical company in Barcelona. Educated by a Jesuit school, Panikkar studied chemistry and philosophy at the universities of Barcelona, Bonn and Madrid, and Catholic Theology in Madrid and Rome. He holds doctorates in philosophy (1945), science (1958, both at Complutense University of Madrid) and theology (1961, Pontifical Lateran University in Rome), and was professor at the Complutense University of Madrid (1946-53). He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1946. In 1953, he left Europe for India where he undertook studies in Indian philosophy and religion at the University of Mysore and Banaras Hindu University and engaged in the Hindu-Christian dialogue, with a short time as professor in Rome (1962-63). From 1967-71, he held a professorship at Harvard University, and from 1971-78 he was professor of religious studies at University of California, Santa Barbara. Currently he lives in Tavertet, in the mountains of Catalonia, outside Barcelona. Panikkar has written some 40 books and more than 900 articles.
