Black Sun: A Letter to a Brother
From Valery Panyushkin, a Russian writer, posted on YouTub. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking, and I very much regret that so little of its power comes through without the rhyme and meter of the language.
Still, here is a highly imperfect translation (adapted from one by Arik Kruglyak). Even if it doesn’t work for you, please forward the YouTube link to any Russian speakers you know; I hope they were as affected by it as I was. — Eugene Volokh
“Simone Weil and The Indian Religious Tradition”
This work explicates and analyzes the writings of Simone Weil and their relation to Indian religious tradition. Initially, it examines the extent and nature of her interest in India. It then outlines exactly what she said about Indian religious writings, in particular, the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. The bulk of the study analyzes these interpretations as well as her total religious vision in relation to Indian spirituality.
