| This issue of Crosscurrents is dedicated to the modern challenges facing Asia today and to the creative ways in which religions of the region are responding to natural, social and global stressors. It stems from a deliberate and intentional expansion in scope as Crosscurrents1 readership expands via its electronic format to a worldwide audience. It also deliberately strives to introduce lesser known traditions, figures, and movements into the mainstream Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim discourses of Asia. It is our sincere wish that these essays, which touch upon the environmental, hyper-urban, economic, gendered, educational, and political dimensions of religion in Asia and "transnational Asia'5 today, both instruct and inspire readers to shape informed and nuanced opinions that may ripple out to impact others.
