Conversation will explore ancient Greek and Dharmic philosophies
The Sanskrit epics Ramayana and Mahabharata and the Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey have laid the foundations for the literary and artistic traditions of the East and the West, and are based on universal human values that transcend the boundaries of space and time. This event will explore their shared cultural and ethical legacy and its relevance for today's world, addressing the principles of aesthetics that have nurtured poetic expression in enduring narratives of meaning and beauty.
Arjun Bharadwaj is a contributing editor of the Prekshaa Pratishtana and a visiting professor at the Chanakya University, Bengaluru, India.
The event will commence with an address by Dr. Prashant Sharma, founder of Dharma Alliance.
Dharmic traditions and cultures are premised on mutual respect, shared prosperity and the interconnectedness of all existence.
