Sanskrit for human survival delves into the myriad minded Sanskrit tradition, in theory and practice, unity and variation, origin and dispersal, in India, Asia and the world. It is a hermeneutic exercise to step back to the past, to step forward to the future, and to move back and forth between the parts and the whole. It explores the surpassing contemporary relevance of this tradition, and stresses the urgent need to reread, retell and renew it, for exorcising the shadow of imminent extinction, hovering over humanity and darkening its threshold.
