It is a Skill, just not a physical one. Study of Indian Philosophy is a lifelong endeavour where you have to continually challenge yourself with different concepts, interpretations and models of the world.
PS: You might want to get the multi-volume A History of Indian Philosophy by Surendranath Dasgupta for reference.
- Arun2009 6y agoDasgupta was one of the first authors I read. Also worked through some volumes of Potter's "Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies". Now my aim is to study these topics in Sanskrit with a traditional scholar. Currently trying to see how to make this work.
- rramadass 6y agoYou are well advanced in your Indology "skill" if you have already started on Karl Potter's works :-) >Now my aim is to study these topics in Sanskrit with a traditional scholar. Currently trying to see how to make this work. Contact BHU at https://www.bhu.ac.in/ https://www.bhu.ac.in/ and ask for advice on how to go about it. It is easier now since there are lots more focus and avenues for remote study/work.
