That’s my Islamic studies professor as a teen. Amazingly brilliant w & yet so open minded-he was not a “dominating persona” as a professor . I remember he just quietly observed while we came to our own conclusions in our “open circle freshman seminar” That’s why I have such fond memories of his class -I learned so much & grew astronomically intellectually & it’s only because of his making sure his “Islamic curriculum “ had a wide variety of progressive Muslim thinkers . Thankful for Dr. Ernst coming into my life.
Thank you a very interesting introduction to Dr Carls course as well as his personal journey of learning through his academic lens. I’m interested in his knowledge of Panini’s grammar in context historically in relation to Persian and Arabic languages. Which developed earliest ? and who influenced who first ?
I prefer the term Mixed spaces to Syncretism. It's interesting for me to see how medieval Indic-Islamic connections are emphasized without using the term 'Orientalism' {maybe because of how Colonization appropriated global Knowledge for it's purposes & how slower / weaker was the Islamic appropriation in medieval times} while the beliefs which clearly had shared milieu for a much longer duree of history aka Dharmic / Indic beliefs & have more similarities with local cultures, communities etc. the difference is emphasized but i am glad that the talk highlighlighted some very important issues.
Very interesting insight. Spirituality or Sufism existed before time, will remain after time and has no bounds. I'd like to say that the practice of Yoga was taken from the Sufis and monetised by the Hindus. And 90% of the Guru Granth Saab consists of Hazrat Baba Farid u Din Masood Ganj Shakar RA's words complied by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. I offer a new book which will be of great interest for you to read 'Gems of Sufism' by Dr Jalil Aslam. Written for today's time by a living Sufi Saint.
Everything is taken from the Sufis, including Vedic knowledge. In what today is called India 200 years ago nobody knew what Vedas and Sanskrit are. Nobody spoke Sanskrit. European masons have created today's India and their culture.
