EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: REVISITING PROF M. HIRIYANNA

The Mysore Hiriyanna Library

Prof Mysore Hiriyanna was once a name that blazed with a soft glow in the annals of Indian Philosophy. He was a much sought-after philosopher and a scholar of the highest order by academicians and lay people alike, and tutored at least three generations of scholars. His trailblazing works such as “Essentials of Indian Philosophy,” “Quest after Perfection,” “Indian Conception of Values,” and “Art Experience” are unparalleled in depth and sweep of scholarship and insights.

Read a brilliant profile of Prof M Hiriyanna penned by the legendary DVG:

The Unalloyed Erudition of M Hiriyanna

Honouring the Master

It is to honour this Master’s singular contributions to the 19th and 20th Century Indian Renaissance that Prekshaa Journal has republished his selected works to make them accessible to the contemporary generation.

The Prekshaa Annual Calendar

The event also includes the release of the much-loved annual Prekshaa Calendar whose theme for this year is an exquisite selection of Hoysala Sculptures.
