Dear All,

*Dr. Vishwa Adluri* will be speaking on
*"The Mahābhārata: The Principal Monument to Bhakti"*
The talk will be for an hour and a half duration (6 pm to 7.30 pm)
followed by Questions and Answers.

Venue: *Indian Institute of World Culture, Wadia Hall.*
Date : *14th August (Tuesday), 2018*
Time: *6 pm*

*About the Topic:*
The Mahābhārata has been approached typically under one of two rubrics:
either history or myth. In this lecture, Professor Vishwa Adluri  shows why
neither approach does justice to the Sanskrit work’s transformative
intellectual-aesthetic project of making Brahman cognitively accessible and
experientially relatable in its saguṇa form—as Nārāyaṇa and Hari.

*About the Speaker:*
Vishwa Adluri is a Professor in the Philosophy Department at Hunter
College, New York. He holds PhDs in Philosophy, Indology, and Sanskrit, and
has published monographs, and edited volumes and articles on the
Mahābhārata. Together with Joydeep Bagchee, he is the author of The Nay
Science: A History of German Indology (OUP India, 2017) and Philology and
Criticism: A Guide to Mahābhārata Textual Criticism (Anthem, 2018).

The speaker has worked on the Mahabharata for over 15 years.
He has academically confronted many Western distortions of the great work.
