[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[Sarbacker, Stuart]

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks for sharing these many stories and reflections. My own academic journey was profoundly impacted when, early in graduate school, I was introduced to Bronkhorst’s Two Traditions of Meditation in Ancient India and Two Sources of Indian Asceticism. These two works were critical factors in the determination of my academic trajectory and I’m profoundly grateful that they found their way to me at such an important turning point in my academic career. Johannes was always gracious in responding to emails—even from an aspiring graduate student--and I appreciated having the opportunity to engage with him periodically at the World Sanskrit Conference. His deep intellectual curiosity and willingness to forward big ideas has been, and will continue to be, an inspiration to me. Strangely enough, just before hearing the news of his passing the other day, I had been contemplating his work and legacy, and how I might more fully express my appreciation...

Best Wishes,
Stuart
