Conference<\/b><\/h3><p>The <b><i>Second Annual Dharma Studies Conference<\/i><\/b> will take place at IIT Bhubaneswar during 11-13 December 2026. It retains the broad conceptual and structural framework of the first conference that was organized in 2025 at the same institution. Thus it encourages academic dialogues between scholars who are interested in explorations of the <i>dharmic<\/i> traditions\u2014Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh\u2014of India and the world. It promotes multi-disciplinarity: scholars may explore dharmic traditions from a wide range of disciplinary locations, from literature and philosophy to history and sociology to neuroscience and economics. The conference positions four principal themes in the limelight and invites deliberations and reflections on them. In addition, it draws attention to a wide range of areas and themes that scholars may have an interest in.<\/p><p>The Second Annual Dharma Studies Conference invites papers on four principal themes\u2014\u2018Food,\u2019 \u2018Environment,\u2019 \u2018The Gentle Human\u2019 and \u2018Healing.\u2019 \u2018Food\u2019 occupies a central position in the philosophies and practices of <i>dharmic<\/i> traditions. Consider for a moment the wide variety of contexts in which we engage with <i>food<\/i>\u2014performance of rituals and pilgrimages; offerings of charity; organization of religious feasts; buying and selling as a source of revenue generation for spiritual establishments, so on and so forth. Not to forget the immense body of literature and discourses available on food. So, the broad question we have in mind is this\u2014what sort of histories of food can one tell if one chooses to reflect on the dharmic traditions? \u2018Environment\u2019 is the second principal theme that we invite reflections on. Environment is at the heart of dharmic imagination and praxis. From the delineations of the Ashok Vatika and Khandava Van in the epics of <i>Ramayana<\/i> and <i>Mahabharata<\/i> to the deep evocations of the <i>mahatmya<\/i> of the Bhadrapada months of Asvina, Karttika, Margasirsa, Asadha and Sravana in bhakti literary corpus\u2014environment is at the heart of dharmic textual imagination. So also in praxis. Ecological features are central to pilgrimage traditions. People travel on foot to Badrinath and Hemkud Sahib, circum-ambulate rivers such as Narmada and visit seascapes at Rameshwaram and Dwarka. We invite reflections on the dharmic engagement with environment. \u2018The Gentle Human\u2019 is our third principal theme. Dharmic traditions lend emphasis on proper cultivation of one\u2019s self. It involves growing aware of one\u2019s own flaws and then make a sincere effort to rise above them. It involves attending to and nourishing one\u2019s virtues, or at least keep virtues as a goal worth pursuing. What emerges through the processes of self-cultivation is the ideal figure of a polite human or a gentle human. A range of terms exist in various Indian languages to describe this person\u2014Sajjana, Bhadra, so on and so forth. In keeping with this basic pointer, we enquire about the cultural histories of politeness or gentleness that dharmic traditions help us reconstruct. \u2018Healing\u2019 is our last principal theme for this year\u2019s conference. To heal oneself and others is an integral part of the cultural heritage of the <i>dharmic<\/i> tradition. The Buddha was known as the Mahabhisak or the Supreme Healer. Charaka, Sushruta, and the Siddhars produced voluminous bodies of literature on healing. We invite papers on how dharmic traditions approach disease and healing.<\/p><p>A subfield of Religious Studies, Dharma Studies promotes critical, grounded as well as constructive enquiries into the Indic religious traditions, their histories, literatures, discursive as well material cultures, philosophies, rituals, music and dance. As we conceptualize the field, three core concerns stand out. First, the field is about the Indic life world the <i>dharmic<\/i> traditions constitute and share among themselves. Sensitive enquiries into this life world need to take into account both the long inheritances as well as evolutions. They also need to pay careful attention to the relationships between the <i>dharmic<\/i> traditions, their affinities and differences. Instead of positioning one against the other we are more interested to explore what they share, and enable dialogues between them. Second, this Indic life world acquired its modern forms and practices in the midst of other unfolding historical processes such as European colonialism as well as global capitalism. Hence, the interface between <i>dharmic<\/i> traditions, and European colonialism and global capitalism constitutes a central concern for our work. Third, we see the field particularly concerned with methods and languages. Training in standard academic methods of studying religion is essential for fruitful engagement with Indic traditions. So is competency in Indian classical and vernacular languages. Having said that, we believe, a comparative awareness of how methods and languages are employed in other sub-fields of religious studies, Jewish studies or Islamic studies for instance, helps in reflecting on their usage vis-\u00e0-vis Indic traditions. At the same time, we remain open to questions about limitations of available methods or necessity of evolving more specific theoretical models as regards the study of Indic religions.<\/p><p>Moving beyond the four principal \u2018Themes in Focus,\u2019 the conference invites papers in a wide range of areas including but not confined to:<\/p><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\"><tbody><tr><td>Bhakti Literatures and Thought<\/td><td>Indian Epics and Their Retellings<\/td><td>Visual Media and Dharmic Traditions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dharma and Ecology<\/td><td>Music and Dance in Dharmic Traditions<\/td><td>Life Histories of Katha Vachaks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dharmic Periodicals and Their Publics<\/td><td>Ethical Self-Cultivation<\/td><td>Dharmic Traditions and the Diaspora<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transnational Dharmic Traditions<\/td><td>Dharma and Digital Communities<\/td><td>Histories of Family Worship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Deities and Temples<\/td><td>Animals and Dharmic Traditions<\/td><td>Disability and Dharmic Narratives<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Charity<\/td><td>Dharma and the Market<\/td><td>Manuscript Cultures<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pilgrimage Narratives<\/td><td>Dharma and Aesthetics<\/td><td>Dharma and Medical Humanities<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Archaeology of Dharmic Sites<\/td><td>Economic Histories of Dharmic Institutions<\/td><td>Dharma, Ayurveda and Healing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dharma in the Age of AI<\/td><td>Dharma and Intellectual Property Rights<\/td><td>Dharma and Legal Studies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dharma-economics<\/td><td>Interfaith Dialogues<\/td><td>\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"program-schedule-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"program-schedule-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <h3>Program &amp; Schedule<\/h3><p>Will be Updated shortly<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"distinguished-speakers-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"distinguished-speakers-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <h3>Confirmed Speakers<\/h3><p>Will be updated shortly!<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"travel-logistics-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"travel-logistics-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <h3><b>Travel &amp; Logistics<\/b><\/h3><p>Railway Station: Khurda Road (Code: KUR) [7 kms]<br \/>Railway Station: Bhubaneswar (Code: BBS) [31 kms]<br \/>Biju Patnaik International Airport (Code: BBI) [27 kms]<\/p><p><b>For further details (Location and Maps), visit<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/home\/how-to-reach\/\"> https:\/\/www.iitbbs.ac.in\/index.php\/home\/how-to-reach\/<\/a><\/p><p><b>Places of Interest:<\/b><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/odishatourism.gov.in\/content\/tourism\/en\/discover\/major-cities\/bhubaneswar.html\">https:\/\/odishatourism.gov.in\/content\/tourism\/en\/discover\/major-cities\/bhubaneswar.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"callforpaper-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"callforpaper-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <h3><b>Call for Papers<\/b><\/h3><p>Please submit your abstracts using the following link:<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/k7B6FpAk8gb8Agku9\"> https:\/\/forms.gle\/k7B6FpAk8gb8Agku9<\/a>.
