Join Mukunda as we speak
Join Mukunda as we speak with Dr. Edwin Bryant, Professor of Religion at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. Dr. Bryant is a prolific and prodigious scholar of Indian Religions with his primary focus on Hindu Philosophy, Yoga and Bhakti. He has published eight books and authored a number of articles on the earliest origins of the Vedic culture, yoga philosophy, and the Krishna tradition. These include a Penguin World Classics translation of the story of Krishna’s incarnation, from its traditional source the Śrīmad Bhāgavata Purāṇa. In addition to being a scholar and professor, Dr. Bryant has been a personal practitioner of bhakti yoga for over 45 years, a number of them spent in India studying with traditional teachers, where he returns yearly. Edwin strives to combine academic scholarship and rigor with appreciation towards traditional knowledge systems. His teaching method is to allow the ancient texts to speak in their own voice and through their own terms and categories.
