Beyond Religion: Sanātana Dharma & the Problem of Sanskrit Non-Translatables
In the inaugural Deep Dive Katha episode, Smt. Vandana Mishra (Infinity Foundation) invites young minds to Reverse the Gaze on how we define Bharatiya heritage. This session examines how foundational Indian concepts lose their true meaning when forced into Western categories, giving the next generation the tools to articulate their roots with confidence.
Drawing on Sanskrit Non-Translatables and Being Different, this episode explores:
🔹 Sanskrit Non-Translatables: Why terms like Dharma, Karma, and Adhikāra resist Western translation.
🔹 The 10 Core Principles: How the 10 lakṣaṇas of Dharma from the Manusmṛti (Dhṛti, Dama, Vidya, etc.) serve as practical benchmarks for a mindful teen life.
🔹 Civilizational Literacy: Why tomorrow's leaders must understand Indian knowledge systems through their own lens.
