evidence: Countless Eyes, Countless Mouths: New Dialogues in the Study of Multivocal Bhagavad Gitas The Bhagavad Gita is one of the best-known and most widely read, studied, and recited texts in Hindu traditions, and has a long history of exegesis, commentary, and translation in South Asian and European languages. Only seven hundred verses long, this work continues to produce a diverse range of readings, in both scholarship and popular culture, encompassing religion, politics, literature, mysticism, philosophy, and statecraft; its growing role and visibility in contemporary Hindu nationalism makes it a particularly fraught and contested site for debates about South Asian pasts and futures. However, the Bhagavad Gita tends to be considered a stable, canonical work, often obfuscating the diverse interpretations that comprise the text’s multilingual, transnational archive. This symposium brings together early-career scholars who approach this text through a wide range of languages, historical periods, and disciplinary perspectives. The papers in this symposium speak to—and reveal— rich interpretive archives of the Bhagavad Gita not yet considered in detail in secondary scholarship. The scholars who will participate in this day-long symposium will explore the Gita’s interpretive life in premodern and modern contexts ranging from Sanskrit commentarial traditions and Mughal-era Persian translations to contemporary nationalist discourses.
