My guest this week is Madhav Deshpande. Read more about him here and here . Take a look here for a list of many of his publications and here for his Sanskrit textbook, In talking about his early life, he mentions the stotras of Śaṅkara , and the upanayana and sandhya cermonies. (And yes, I know I managed to bungle those pronunciations a bit in the podcast! ) Among the many places of education in Pune, there are Deccan College and Fergusson College (see also here ), which have been affiliated with Pune University (also here ). Read more about traditional pāṭhaśālas here , and watch a video here . Among the many academic luminaries mentioned in this interview, there are S. D. Joshi , J. A. F. Roodbergen , R. N.
