We are revisiting NewsX's interview with one of India's foremost scholars in an insightful interview on the timeless wisdom of the Ashtavakra Gita. Known for his immense contributions to translating ancient Sanskrit texts like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, Debroy's reflections on the Gita offer a path to self-discovery and liberation from worldly attachments. Joined by author Hindol Sengupta, this conversation delves into philosophical reflections, daily life applications, and the balance between material success and inner peace. Together, they explore how ancient insights resonate powerfully in our modern lives.
Rishabh Gulati: Mr. Debroy, you've dedicated years to translating ancient Sanskrit texts-Mahabharata, Ramayana, the Puranas.
Why did you choose to translate not just this text but 25 others?
Bibek Debroy: Sometimes, consciously I think I didn't choose to translate them; events unfolded, and I was meant to do these translations. I've been translating for several years now-Sanskrit to English, unabridged.
