“Indian Ideas in the Modern World:?Ramayana & Mahabharata: Ancient Tales with a Contemporary Twist “
(Monday 27 June, 6:30pm):?By Nick Sutton – The epic stories of the?Ramayana and the?Mahabharata are widely known both in India and in the Western world, due in part to their popularisation through the visual media.? What is less widely understood, however, is the underlying message that these great works seek to convey particularly in relation to duty, morality and social responsibility.? In this talk we will seek to go beyond the central narratives and consider the underlying message of the?Ramayana and the?Mahabharata, reflecting upon the contribution their insights can make to the contemporary world. Venue: The Nehru Centre,?8 South Audley Street, London?W1K 1HF(closest tube station Green Park). Free admission, places limited.
