David Haberman, Professor Emeritus, is now at Oxford University spending the Hilary term (mid-January through mid-March) conducting research as the Shivdasani Visiting Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies. His research project involves translating, writing an introduction for, and augmenting a lengthy 1980s Hindi commentary by the renowned scholar Shyam Manohar Goswami on the Chatuh-shloki, a short Sanskrit text written by Vallabhacharya in the sixteenth century. Haberman believes a supplemented version of this commentarial text would make a productive introduction to the thought and practice of the Pushti Marg, the “Path of Grace,” a relatively unknown tradition in the Western academy.
