Annotation

Visvanathan briefly discusses Abhishiktananda's interest in and reading of Weil, touching on the aspects of her thought with which Abhishiktananda was most taken. These are not discussed in any depth. The chapter would thus be most beneficial for those who are interested in Weil's influence on Abhishiktananda.
