Second Thomas C Burke Memorial Symposium, May 9,10, 2026

[syn_mail]

Dear friends,,

Thomas C Burke at Harvard was a personal friend and a friend to India.

He fits into the Brahmasutra theory that man is born for a purpose in

consonance with his/her previous lives.  Tom passed away in May, 2023.  

We had our first Symposium last year.  There were five presentations, 

three completed papers are included in the proceedings.  The proceedings 

hardcopy can be acquired through Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G516SFWY   

The PDF can be available from our website https://www.indiadiscoverycenter.org

or by writing to me/us.

I am giving the announcement of the second Symposium below. The topic

will be Panini and Grammar.  We have expanded a bit through subtopics

in the attached notice for participation.  We will offer a $50 honorarium for 

the completed papers accepted for the Proceedings in order to encourage

young authors and newer ideas.  

We welcome Dr. Abhijit Mandal, an Assistant Professor of Sanskrit in Cooch Behar

University, West Bengal, India as a part of the Organizing Committee.   

Best regards,

Bijoy Misra
