SUMMARY:Dr. Karan Singh\, "Nava Vedanta: Ancient Indian Philosophy of Non-dualism & its Modern Transformation."
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Karan Singh\nDistinguished Indian statesman and diplomat Dr. Karan Singh will deliver the 2011 Satyajit Ray Lecture at UC Santa Cruz on Saturday\, September 24\, at 5:30 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall. \nCurrently the president of the Indian Council of Cultural Relations in New Delhi\, Singh is the last Maharaja of Kashmir\, and served as its governor for 18 years. \nHe was a member of Indira Gandhi’s cabinet when she was prime minister\, and has also served as Indian ambassador to the United States. \nRecognized as one of India’s outstanding thinkers and leaders\, Singh is the author of numerous books and has lectured widely—both in India and abroad–on political science\, philosophy\, education\, religion and culture. \nSingh will speak on the topic: “Nava Vedanta: Ancient Indian Philosophy of Non-dualism & its Modern Transformation.” \nThe lecture will be preceded by a screening of renowned Indian Director Satyajit Ray’s last movie: Agantuk (The Stranger) at 3 p.m. in the UCSC Media Theater. \nThe New York Times has described the film as “a gentle\, exquisitely realized comedy\, beautifully observed\, sweet\, and enriching\,” and the New Yorker called it “ a graceful comedy made in a serene\, leisurely classical style.” \nThe London Times noted: “Ray’s eye for detail and the old magic of his genius can’t let go of The Stranger\, a tour-de-force. The camera is wielded like a conductor’s baton as it strikes chords deep in the mind.” \nThe lecture and film screening are presented by The Satyajit Ray Film and Study Center (Ray FASC)–a research center in the Humanities Division at UC Santa Cruz. The center is dedicated to the preservation of Satyajit Ray’s cinematic\, literary and artistic work. \nUnder the direction of founding director Dilip Basu\, Ray FASC has a collection of 32 of Ray’s 36 films\, including 22 fully restored prints. \nThe restoration work is conducted at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles—the same academy that honored Ray with a special Oscar in 2002 for his lifetime achievements as a filmmaker. \nBasu noted that film prints from Ray FASC are now screened at major museums and film festivals around the world. \n“During the past year\, we have curated complete retrospectives at film museums in Munich\, Zurich\, Basel\, London\, Paris\, Singapore and at the Lincoln Center in New York\,” said Basu. “We expect to continue to have similar global reach in the foreseeable future.” \nBasu noted that Ray FASC also hosts scholars\, students\, and film makers who visit its facility for research and study. \nA professor of history at UC Santa Cruz\, Basu also teaches an annual upper division class titled  “Cinema and History: Film Author Satyajit Ray.” \nFor tickets and/or more information about the Satyajit Ray Film and Study Collection\, go to:  http://satyajitray.ucsc.edu\, call 831-459-4012 or e-mail satyajit@ucsc.edu
