Ambassador Mohapatra Addresses Romania's Parliamentary Committee for Culture on Mircea Eliade's Legacy in India

Posted on: April 23, 2026 | Back | Print

The Ambassador of India addressed Romania's Parliamentary Committee for Culture, at the invitation of its Chairman, Mr. Mihail Neamțu, delivering remarks on the profound and enduring legacy of Mircea Eliade — one of Romania's most celebrated scholars and a towering figure in the global study of religion and philosophy.

The Ambassador spoke on Eliade's transformative years in India between 1928 and 1931, a period that profoundly shaped his intellectual journey and left an indelible mark on his subsequent work in religion, philosophy, yoga, and culture. These formative years in India also inspired some of his most celebrated literary works, including the renowned novel Maitreyi, which continues to be read and admired by audiences in both India and Romania.

Eliade's deep engagement with Indian philosophy and spirituality stands as a powerful testament to the long-standing intellectual and cultural connections between the two countries — connections that predate formal diplomatic ties and continue to enrich the relationship to this day.

The address before the Parliamentary Committee for Culture underscored the depth of the civilisational bond between India and Romania, and highlighted the role that shared intellectual and cultural heritage continues to play in deepening mutual understanding between the two nations.
