Adi Shankaracharya

The next Literature Live! Evening brings to our attention the life and thoughts of a person many consider Hinduism`s greatest thinker, Adi Shankaracharya. The author is Pavan K Varma, former Foreign Service Officer, Rajya Sabha MP, Director of Nehru Centre, London, Adviser to the Chief Minister of Bihar and writer.

In our ongoing and overheated national debate about religion, it will be salutary to step back and reflect on what Hinduism really stands for. Pavan will be in conversation with me at NCPA`s Experimental Theatre on Tuesday, July 17 at 6.30 PM. Gulzarsaab, who needs no introduction, will release the book.

Seating, as usual, is on a first come, first served basis, so do come early.
