Jnanam Discussion Group

Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth
Pune

Named after the Sanskrit word for wisdom, this pre-existing group consists of researchers and students interested in exploring dialogue and reaching the community at large through organized twice-monthly meetings, seminars and conferences. A website with email discussion groups, book publication, a membership journal, and CD ROM presentations further outreach efforts. The group explores a broad array questions relevant in the context of contemporary Indian society such as fine tuning and human emergence; perspectives on death and dying; scientific and religious perspectives on reconciliation in light of the works of Gandhi.
