==Founding and objective==<br />
Dandoy and Johanns were young Jesuits, newly arrived in India, when they met Brahmachari Animananda, disciple of [[Brahmabandhab Upadhyay|Brahmobandhav Upadhyay]]. Animananda encouraged them in their desire to begin a journal that would carry on the spirit of inquiry initiated by Upadhyay.<ref>Doyle 130-131.</ref> P. Turmes reports that Animananda's face brightened up when the two Jesuits laid before him the proposal for a journal that would present Christ to India in a way adapted to her mentality and culture.<ref>P. Turmes, ''A Teacher of Genius: B. Animananda'' (Calcutta: Xavier Publications, 1963) 63.</ref><br />
<br />
Both Dandoy and Johanns contributed regularly to the review. Several of Johanns' contributions were later published in book form under the title ''To Christ to the Vedanta.''<ref>''To Christ through the Vedānta: The Writings of Reverend P. Johanns, S.J.'' 2 vols. Ed. Theo de Greeff. Bangalore: The United Theological College, 1996.</ref> Other contributors included members of the so-called [[Calcutta School of Indology]].<br />
