| bio | Urmila Agarwal is an author and researcher known for her work in the fields of Indian culture, philosophy, and art.
Urmila Agarwal, along with her husband Satya P. Agarwal, has authored several books. One of their notable works is an easy-to-read version of the "Anu-Gita," a part of the Mahabharata that had not been presented in a simple form to the general public before. Their research and writing often involve collaborations and studies conducted in various locations, including the USA. For instance, they were associated with Alan Watts and conducted research on Buddhism and related topics starting from 1953. The Agarwals have also written extensively on the concept of Lokasamgraha (the good of the world), which shares similarities with Sarvodaya. Their first book on this topic, The Social Role of the Gita: How and Why, was published in 1993. Urmila Agarwal has a particular interest in the sculptural and artistic heritage of India. She has written about the sculptural wealth of North Indian temples, focusing on the socio-economic and religious aspects of these temples during the early medieval period (9th to 13th centuries AD). Her works reflect a deep engagement with Indian philosophy, culture, and art, making her a significant contributor to the field of Indian studies. |
