Donnerstags-Kolleg: Im Schatten der Kronen – der Wald als Lebensraum: Wald und Wildnis in der hinduistischen Kultur als Rückzugsort der Denker und Yogis

In the organizer's words:

According to ancient Indian texts, there were four spaces: village, city, forest and wilderness. According to the philosophical texts called "Upanişaden", the adult man should live with his family, work and culture in the village or city. After worldly life, he should retreat into the forest, vana, and finally into the wilderness, āraņyaka, for study and meditation. In India, forests and wildernesses were (and still are) spaces of spirituality, free from civilization and its temptations.

The Donnerstags-Kolleg is a lecture series in cooperation with the Center for Senior Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität. The event is free of charge for students on presentation of their student ID.
