Abstract
The very title of this essay indicates the simple difficulty we have in developing any unified account of the nature of religious experience in classical, non-Buddhist (and non-Jain) India: there are many traditions — systems, schools, beliefs and practices — which we count as Hindu. An exhaustive (and exhausting) typology seems a prerequisite for any such examination as the one on hand. I will try to meet this requirement only obliquely, by mentioning a few dominant, often incompatible, features of the conceptions of religious experience found in the Hindu systems and letting these features stay in the background of the discussion to follow.
