Dear Colleagues,

Thanks for sharing these many stories and reflections. My own academic journey 
was profoundly impacted when, early in graduate school, I was introduced to 
Bronkhorst’s Two Traditions of Meditation in Ancient India and Two Sources of 
Indian Asceticism. These two works were critical factors in the determination 
of my academic trajectory and I’m profoundly grateful that they found their way 
to me at such an important turning point in my academic career. Johannes was 
always gracious in responding to emails—even from an aspiring graduate 
student--and I appreciated having the opportunity to engage with him 
periodically at the World Sanskrit Conference. His deep intellectual curiosity 
and willingness to forward big ideas has been, and will continue to be, an 
inspiration to me. Strangely enough, just before hearing the news of his 
passing the other day, I had been contemplating his work and legacy, and how I 
might more fully express my appreciation...

Best Wishes,
Stuart
