Ananda K. Coomaraswamy Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy. It is an intriguing name, the unfamiliar 'Kentish' nestling between the familiar 'Ananda' and 'Coomaraswamy'. It makes you wonder about the man's nationality. Was he a swami? A sanyasi? Doctor Ananda Coomaraswamy was an unusual man, an extraordinary man. He was a hermit as well as a householder, or perhaps he was neither. As we say in Kannada 'Food did not break his fast'. |
