ABOUT THE SPEAKER

-----------------

Dr. Anantha Rangacharya studied Vedanta in the

traditional manner at the feet of Vedanta Vidvan, Vedanta Sarajna

Sri U.Ve. Krishna Tatacharya Swami. He received the B.A. (Hons),

B.T., and Ph.D. degrees from Mysore University. For many years he

was Principal of Maharaja's Sanskrit College, Mysore. He is well

known for his deep study of all the major philosophers of Vedanta

and for his unbiased, lucid presentation of the shastras.

 

He has authored over 100 books on Vedanta in both English and

Kannada, including translations of the principal Upanishads,

detailed expositions of the commentaries of Sri Ramanuja, the

Tiruvaymoli of Sri Nammalvar, and many other works of both popular

and scholarly interest. He is a tireless lecturer and has

conducted traditional kAlakshepam in English, Tamil, and Kannada

without a break for many years in Bangalore.

 

He has the distinct honor of lecturing on all seven schools of Vedanta

at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, including teaching the works of

Sri Sankaracharya four times, a feat rarely matched by scholars

of any background.

 

It is our good fortune that Dr. Anantha Rangacharya has agreed to

give us this lecture in English. Everyone should make use of this

opportunity to listen to this octogenarian master of philosophy.
