On Daniélou’s 109th birthday  the  panel will  take a fresh look at the work of the French scholar, at home in several disciplines like musicology, linguistics, art, religion, who spent over 20 years (1936-1960) in India. He studied her culture in an unconventional way, directly with pandits, musicians, and Indian scholars, often challenging the academic discourse of his time. The panel will together with their analysis  present an interview with Daniélou’s contemporary at Benares.  Prof. Anand Krishna, will show hitherto unknown photos by him and his Swiss partner  Raymond Burnier and play some of the music recordings made in the 1940s and 50s.

The speakers are members of the Alain Daniélou India Committee (ADIC) which celebrates its tenth anniversary
