Ferdinando Sardella
Ferdinando Sardella, born 1960, is a Swedish scholar of the history of religions, Hinduism, and religious studies, the former director and coordinator of the Forum for South Asia Studies at Uppsala University.

Hitherto relatively unknown, this strand of Chaitanya ''bhakti'' later on gained global spread in the f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
