Dear All,

I just received information that the French Sanskrit and Vedic scholar Michel Angot passed away in his home town on 8 April 2024 at the age of 75 (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Angot). A number of his important publications are listed on his own website (https://www.michelangot.com/), which also mentions several other ones still under preparation.

Condolences to his family and to his numerous students in France and world wide, who will always remember him for his enthusiastic and inspiring teaching and lecturing, including in the domain of theoretical and practical aspects of Vedic recitation.
