Rigveda's and Athenians' Unknown. Panikkar's Christological Pray¿¿a 2

The Mediating Mystery CHRIST, although unknown, present in all religions, is Deo ignoto. Rigvedic expression ¿what God¿ (kasmai dev¿ya) (RV 10, 121, 1-9) is not a question but naming the unknown Mediator, the cosmotheandric principle, the praj¿pati (RV 10, 121, 10). Athenians had an altar reserved for the unknown God, Agnostos Theos. Perceiving that the altar was for the unknown Mediator of the Athenians, St Paul preached Christ in Areopagus (Acts 17:22 ff.). The unknown CHRIST, which Christians call Jesus Christ, is unknown both to Hinduism and to Christianity. Rigveda's and Athenians' Unknown, the second book of the series, Panikkar¿s Christological pray¿¿a, deals more about Panikkar¿s explication of the principle of Mediation of an Absolute Brahman with the world analysing the Brahmasutra. ¿¿vara of Hindu scriptures is not explicitly about Christ. The Christ of Christians cannot be equated with ¿¿vara. Still, if one analyses the `sensus plenior', a fuller sense of humanity's philosophical and theological texts, one arrives at the `res significata', the intended thing of the advaitic ¿¿vara leading to the philosophical possibility of a Christ.
