[INDOLOGY] Demise of Professor Edwin Gerow

[Deepak Sarma]

I was fortunate to see Prof. Gerow in January of this year. I was lalso ucky to have studied with him when he taught at Reed College in Portland Oregon. If it were not for him I would not have studied Madhva/ Davita Vedanta. 

I am glad that we were able to publish a Festschrift of sorts:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/i24631627

Ācāryasamarpaṇam: Studies in Honor of Edwin Gerow
International Journal of Hindu Studies
Vol. 19, No. 1/2, Special Issue: Studies in Honor of Edwin Gerow (APRIL–AUGUST 2015)

I am very sad indeed but so grateful to have crossed paths with him.

Here he is in January 2025.
