GURCHARAN DAS at Seattle Asian Art Museum |
Saturday University Sacred Sites of Asia Lecture Series, presented by the GARDNER CENTER FOR ASIAN ART AND IDEAS, cosponsored by UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON JACKSON SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES and ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY. A major figure in contemporary Indian life and letters, Gurcharan Das is here from New Delhi, a special guest in the Gardner Center's Saturday University series. Author of numerous books, including India Unbound, a novel, essays, plays, and more; a regular columnist for The Times of India and other Indian papers; and a former CEO of Proctor & Gamble India, he visits to discuss themes raised in his newest book, The Difficulty of Being Good: On the Subtle Art of Dharma (Oxford University Press). This learned, engaging book—with a personal stake in the writing and exploring—uses the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, as a way to examine how to live a life that's true to one's self and the civic life of society. Free, with museum admission (or membership). The Seattle Asian Art Museum is at 1400 E. Prospect in Volunteer Park. For more information, please see www.seattleartmuseum.org.
