The late Prof B V Sreekantan (30 June 1925 – 27 October 2019), one of the founding members of NIAS, was one of its most distinguished faculty, contributing enormously and innovatively to its research and teaching programs, ever since he joined the Institute in 1992. Founder of the pioneering program on consciousness studies in NIAS – possibly one of the first of its kind in the world – he remained a strong, but gentle and gracious, presence in virtually every single academic endeavor of the Institute. As a tribute to this great stalwart, whose spirit continues to pervade our every thinking and action, NIAS commissioned a biographical documentary on Prof Sreekantan during his lifetime and filmed him, his associates and the various institutions that he had built over his remarkable academic career.
