“Bhaktivedanta Swami in a Historical and Philosophical Context” is a one-day workshop to be held on September 6, 2023, at the prestigious Stockholm University (S.U.). Located in the vibrant Swedish capital, S.U. is a renowned public research university recognized for its academic excellence and diverse disciplines.
The workshop is part of a collaborative effort of Stockholm University’s Department of Ethnology, History of Religions and Gender Studies, Utah State University’s Department of History, The Center for Dharma Studies, GTU, Berkeley, and the Bhaktivedanta Research Centre. Participants will include invited scholars, Ph.D. candidates, and students from across the globe.
Radhika Ramana Das (Dr. Ravi Gupta), one of the scholars who will be participating in the workshop, said, “Srila Prabhupada’s contribution to the development of Gaudiya Vaisnavism as a global movement is unprecedented, and this conference provides a rare opportunity to examine that contribution from a scholarly, historical perspective,” He continued, “I hope that the papers delivered at the conference will create a foundation for the ongoing, academic study of Srila Prabhupada’s life and work. Both Dr. Sardella and Stockholm University are to be commended for facilitating these important conversations.” Dr. Gupta holds the Charles Redd Chair of Religious Studies and serves as Professor and Department Head of the Department of History at Utah State University.
