How can one approach the soul of the Indian subcontinent without falling into clichés? How can one understand from within the fervour that has animated Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sufis and Sikhs for millennia? A Catholic priest of the Missions Etrangères de Paris, an indefatigable pilgrim and a keen connoisseur of Indian worlds, Yann Vagneux takes us on an extraordinary journey from southern India to the foothills of the Himalayas. Nourished by thirty years of travel, encounters and dialogue with the great Asian religious traditions, his chronicles recount a path lived close to those who keep the subcontinent alive. This conversation in three voices invites us to look differently, to understand from within – and perhaps also to let ourselves be transformed.
The lecture will be followed by a book signing session.
