Pravachanam/Religious Discourse in English

by: Sri Dushyant SridharSunday, May 24th 2:00 PM

This young upanyasakar has been making waves in the city, thanks to his modern interpretation of the Vedas and the Puranas’ 2015 ‘He is in fact taking a group of children and teenagers on a Harry Potter trip. The group is fascinated and they listen to him without a break. Meet the modern upanyasakar who connects to the young through his discourses by bringing a contemporary perspective to epics and derives logic ‘2014’ says the The Hindu.Sri. Dushyanth Sridhar, a 28-year old technocrat, an alumnus of BITS, Pilani (a leading technical school in India) has delivered over 1500 lectures across the world (in 100 cities and 11 countries). He has undergone training in the scriptures for over 15 years. He has a large young following for the contemporary connect he makes. Let’s hear him out! Topic geared to the next generation:

‘Hanuman - A Selfless Devotee and a Role-Model to us’Hanuman is a role-model to pristine and unadulterated devotion to Rama. He was eloquent, learned and yet humble. No character in any of the Hindu scriptures can ever match Hanuman in his aura. It will be a befit-ting experience to listen to a lecture on this from Sri.Dushyanth Sridhar.
