Stories are the most powerful medium to connect wisdom with actionable steps. Pankaj Saxena is one such storyteller of Sanatan Dharma, who has taken upon himself the task of connecting the threads of history, culture, and sacred spaces into beautiful wisdom. Co-founder and Director of Cultural Research at Bṛhat, Pankaj brings to light the significance of Hindu temples not just as structures of devotion but as living embodiments of Dharmic principles. His writing captures the spirit of Sanatan Dharm through vividly descriptive stories of traditions and cultural continuity.
His deep interest in cultural anthropology and ecology has taken him to over 1200 sacred sites across India. He also serves as an Associate Professor at Rashtram School of Public Leadership. For those seeking to understand Dharma beyond mere abstractions, Pankaj Saxena’s work could offer a storied reality of Hindu culture.
Watch this space for the conversation we had with Pankaj Saxena on diversified aspects of Hinduism, detailing the contrast between Vedic and Puranic streams of conduct. Happy watching.
