  • Summary

  • A Conversation with Dominique Wohlschlag

    In this dialogue, Reza asks Dominique a particular question about the

    roles of Śiva and Brahmā in the Mahābhārata. Additionally, he inquires

    why we refer to Vaiṣṇavites and Śivaites but don’t seem to have a

    corresponding category of Brahmānites.

    Dominique Wohlschlag is a specialist in medieval romance languages

    and previously taught Latin at the Collège de Genève. With an extensive

    background in Indian studies, he has offered courses on Sanskrit and

    Indian Civilization at various Swiss institutions and has worked with

    the Geneva Ethnography Museum. His scholarly contributions include three

    translations of Indian poets (Jayadeva, Bhartrihari, Vidyâkara) and

    numerous interpretative analyses of Hindu scriptures. In addition,

    Wohlschlag has also written several books on the Hindu tradition with

    two of them available in the link below for those interested in

    exploring this rich tradition further.
