He had Micha el Coulson's primer and Whitney's grammar to help him. His interest in Ind ian forms of thought and religion eventually led to studies in Indology an d Sanskrit at Stockholm University (1994–96) followed by history of religi on at Lund University (MA 1998). Nowadays\, he both writes and speaks Sans krit fluently and pursues continuous studies in languages such as Pali\, m edieval Latin and Koine Greek.\nMartin's PhD thesis (2003) combined the fi eld of Indian religions with astrology in a study of South Indian nāḍi div ination\, based partly on ethnographic methods but mainly on Sanskrit text s originating in Kerala and dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. Since 2 010\, he has been associate professor in the history of religion in Lund a nd continues to conduct research in two main areas: India's indigenous rel igions - in particular classical and modern Hinduism - as well as the emer gence and intercultural spread of horoscopic astrology.\nIn addition to te aching at Lund University\, Martin has also worked at Stockholm and Linnae us Universities\, as well as teaching Indology and Sanskrit at the Univers ity of Copenhagen. He has published several publications and\, among other things\, translated the Indian text Bhagavad Gita from Sanskrit into Swed ish (2001) and also the first direct translation of the Upanishads into Sw edish (2005) together with Måns Broo.\nPlease read more about Martin on hi s website: https://academic.martingansten.com/about/ DTSTART:20231217T103000Z DTEND:20231217T103000Z GEO:00;0 LOCATION:Ashtanga Yoga Malmö ORGANIZER;CN=:info@ashtangayogamalmo.se SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:COURSE: Yoga as Concept and Practice: A Brief History TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://www.ashtangayogamalmo.se/en/courses/past-events/155-yoga-as-con cept-and-practice-a-brief-history/2023-12-17-11-30 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
