Dr. Bryant has received numerous awards and fellowships, published eight books, and authored a number of articles on the earliest origins of the Vedic culture, yoga philosophy, and the Krishna tradition. These include a Penguin World Classics translation of the story of Krishna’s incarnation, from its traditional source the Śrīmad Bhāgavata Purāṇa.
Edwin strives to combine academic scholarship and rigor with appreciation towards traditional knowledge systems. His teaching method is to allow the ancient texts to speak in their own voice and through their own terms and categories.

Flying east to west from Bengal to Delhi in 1976 at night, the continent was almost completely dark-electricity was only a big city phenomenon. Some villages had a single generator for light at night.

Was this ever continued? Seems that there is more to add to D. Bryant's journey

yes for sure - but he doesn’t like to get too personal ; he doesn’t see it as relevant or useful so that’s about as far as we go..

I personally find the male dominated religions limited in helping my own spiritual development. I hope we are in process of creating new traditions that elevate women as equal spiritual ideals. It’s always a male figure and I just intuitively find it to be problematic on a fundamental level. In my own life not only do I find women to be equal in spiritual development, as a whole they are more so. Things are very unbalanced.

Which male dominated religions are you referring to? Sanatana Dharma celebrates female manifestation of deity as well. ‘Shakti’ which means ‘strength’ is female from Ma Devi aka Ma Durga. From the time of the Vedas (which is thousands of years old ) recorded both male and female scholars debating spirituality on an equal footing.

Even in lots of Krishna traditions you have Radharani complementary and same level as Krishna. Sure in the material world and specially kali yuga our society became quite unfortunately patriarchal and unequeal and that reflects on the religions, still there is nothing patriarcal on bhakti, stop lingering about these matters and give love and attention to Krishna and Radharani...
