1: Mahabharata and Classical Hinduism Seminar |
.
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
The three papers to be discussed in the online meeting of our Seminar consider in various ways the interactions of divine and earthly realities in the _Mahābhārata_. The text presents a divine plan for intervention in earthly struggles, a theme of enduring interest in later texts; might it have been patterned on Greek literary antecedents? The _MBh_ also orients the audience to the setting of that struggle by describing the land in both geographical and cosmological dimensions. All three papers share themes of the interconnectedness of heavenly and earthly realms in the _Mahābhārata_.

For this online meeting, we have all participants in the Americas except for one paper author, who is in Australia. We therefore request that the session be early evening/late afternoon in the Americas so it's early morning in Australia, preferably the first or second day of the online meeting.
