Symposium: Guru, Imam, Avatar

Join Dr Ankur Barua and Dr Teena Purohit to explore the motifs of the divine guide and divine mystery across Islamic, Hindu, and Sikh borderlines. 

Through a trio of panels, presenters will discuss topics including the decentering of the “I” in some Hindu and Indo-Islamic devotional music, the role of the Guru in the Sikh tradition, and the significance of Prophet Muhammad in Islamic cosmology. 

This event is enabled through the kind support of the Spalding Trust, the Cambridge Interfaith Research Forum (small grants) and the College of the Arts and Sciences at Boston University.
