Resumen
The essay deals with the spiritual and theological experience of the Muslim prince Dārā Šikōh, (1615-1659), the eldest son of the fifth Mughal Emperor Šāh Jahān. During his short life, the prince wrote, among many religious works, the Confluence of the two oceans, object of particular attention here. This book, which made him a heretic in the eyes of the orthodoxy, it is a comparative study where concepts and technical terms of Hindu and Muslim religions are compared in view of their identification. In this work, it is possible to perceive an experience that recall closely the hermeneutics of translation of the names of God which characterized ancient civilizations, prior to the eruption of exclusive monotheisms. It is therefore an episode of enormous intercultural and interreligious importance, and still has relevance today.
