He was the former Chief Belief Officer of Future Group, one of India's largest retailers. He writes columns for Mid-Day,[14] Times of India,[15] Swarajya,[16] CN Traveller,[17] Daily O[18] and Scroll.in.[19] Early life and educationPattanaik is an Odia, born and brought up in Mumbai. He spent his childhood and student life in Chembur, Mumbai.[20] He studied in OLPS[21] (Our Lady of Perpetual Succour) High School in Chembur where he first got acquainted with stories of the Ramayana in school plays.[22] Devdutt Pattanaik graduated in medicine (M.B.B.S.) from Grant Medical College, Mumbai, and subsequently did a course in Comparative Mythology from Mumbai University.[23] CareerHe worked in the pharma and healthcare industry (Sanofi Aventis and Apollo Group of Hospitals,[24] respectively) for 14 years and spent his spare time writing articles[25][26] and books on mythology,[27][28] which eventually became his full-time passion. He has also worked as a consultant at Ernst and Young. His first book Shiva: An Introduction was published in 1997.[29] Devdutt illustrates most of his own books.[30] He was a speaker at the first TED conference in India held in November 2009.[31][32] He is also a story consultant to Indian television network Star TV,[33] where Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev is based on his work[34][35][36] and Epic channel, where he presents Devlok with Devdutt Pattanaik.[37][38] He also served as the Chief Belief Officer atFuture Group.[37] Devdutt has consulted Star TV network on mythological tele-serials like Mahabharata and Siya ke Ram; these serials have challenged conventional views of the narratives and opened up new avenues of interpretation.[39][40][41][39] ViewsMyth and MythologyHe opines that “no society can exist without myth as it creates notions of right and wrong, good and bad, heaven and hell, rights and duties”.[42] To him, mythology "tells people how they should see the world... Different people will have their own mythology, reframing old ones or creating new ones."[43] His desire is "to get Saraswati out of the closet. Saraswati belongs everywhere, she has to flow everywhere" and his body of work is aimed "to make knowledge accessible."[44] BusinessDevdutt believes that leadership is about paying attention to the other, and enabling people not to mimic or pretend, but to be genuine/authentic about their fears. If a leader cannot sense fear in people around him, if a leader feels good when people around him are frightened into pretending, there is a problem. Power flows towards the leader or, rather, boss rather than towards the organization.[45] In his book, Business Sutra: An Indian Approach to Management[8], “the central theme … is that when individual beliefs come into conflict with corporate beliefs, problems surface in organisations. Conversely, when institutional beliefs and individual beliefs are congruent, harmony is the resultant corporate climate. It is when people are seen as mere resources meant to be managed [read manipulated] through compensation and so-called motivation; it is when they are treated like switches in a circuit board; it is then that disharmony descends causing disruption.”[46] FictionDevdutt distinguishes between mythological fiction and mythology. He notes that mythological fiction is very popular as it is fantasy rooted in familiar traditional tales. Mythology itself is about figuring out world views of cultures, essentially how people think in a particular cultural ethos. “Most writers I know focus on mythological fiction. Study of mythology still remains rather academic,” Pattanaik told IANS in an interview.[47] Performing ArtsFocusing on Natyashastra, a Sanskrit Hindu text on the performing arts written by Bharata Muni, Devdutt has answered questions on the origins of the text and why it was referred to as the Panchama Veda. “By dancing, Hindu Gods differentiated Hindu faith, they drew attention to time, space, rhythm, vibration and body,” explains Pattanaik.[48] He notices dance as part of religion. He speaks of how, over the years, the general gaze of looking at dance and dancers has changed. He states, "Calling someone naachnewali or naachnewala has become a way of putting them down. We need to understand that dance is about seduction. For me, the story of Lord Vishnu taking the form of Mohini and dancing to seduce Bhasmasura is one of the most powerful stories. We don’t understand that the story of Natraj also relates to seduction. But somehow, the word seduction has taken a negative connotation now. Through dance, we can understand a lot about Indian culture, history, geography and more. It’s about time we did that." [49] Political StanceDevdutt is known to avoid partisan views and points to the strengths and weaknesses of the Left and the Right, the secular as well as religious, the capitalists and the communists, the patriarchs and the feminists, as indicated on his many articles on beef ban, vegetarianism, and Ramayana.[50][51][52] He is wary of the influence of 'white saviours' on liberals as well as religious radicals. He has been rather contemptuous of the hyper-nationalism of a section of American Hindus who are clueless about Indian realities.[53][54] He also frowns on secularists and atheists who deny their own missionary zeal and mythic structure, and see themselves as 'rational'.[55] SexualityAfter having coming out as homosexual, Devdutt has been frank about the LGBTQ revolution in India.[56] Pattanaik commented on how, while he never had any issues with being gay, he was aware that other people in society hold prejudices and judgements against people who do not conform to the norm. It was this knowledge that made him keep his sexuality hidden from the public, and that it was never because he felt guilty.[57] He was always a proponent of free-thought and individualism, as made plain by his views on the criminalization of homosexuality in India. “The validation of law is an important element for removing prejudice from the minds of people, especially friends and family members.”[58] He has written about the presence, and at several instances, the celebration, of the queer within the Indian mythos. Elucidating that karmic faiths can be used to affirm the dignity of queer people, he speaks of how when one discovers love and appreciation for the world as it is, not the way one wants it to be, one develops wisdom.[59] ReceptionIn 2014, Pattanaik was listed in the top category of bestselling Indian authors.[60] His book Devlok, based on the television programme of the same name, was one of the bestselling books of the year 2016.[61] Forbes India had ranked Pattanaik among the 100 celebrities of India in 2016.[62] Fiction author Ashwin Sanghi has said that Pattanaik attempts to "explain mythology in simple words".[63] Psychologist Urmi Chanda-Vaz, who calls Pattanaik "India's most beloved mythology explicator", praised his book 'My Gita'.[64][65] Intellectual Shiv Visvanathan has praised Pattanaik by saying that he has made myth-reading "an open, playful, almost domestic game, like Chinese Checkers or Scrabble".[66] Investment banker and Sanskrit scholar Nityanand Misra has criticized Pattanaik's 'My Gita' as a "marvel of scholarly ineptitude and a travesty of Hindu philosophy", saying that the book is a sloppy work replete with factual, conceptual, philosophical, and linguistic errors. Saying that Pattanaik lacks even basic knowledge of Sanskrit, Misra has questioned Pattanaik's ability to understand Sanskrit and translate from it.[67] Bibliography
