After all these years, I finally saw the Rubin Museum and loved it! I especially liked the show “death is not the end,” I highly recommend it

Just learned of a great opportunity for students at Big Ten schools to take first-year Sanskrit online (via CourseShare) with one of the best in the biz, Andrew Ollett (UChicago)! First quarter starts Sep. 25. You can check out his fabulous course website here: prakrit.info/vrddhi/
