  D.H. Lawrence revered Dostoevsky’s writings as “The Fifth Gospel – the Gospel according to the soul of Russia.” W. B. Yeats regarded Dostoevsky as “the greatest portrayer of men.” John Cowper Powys considered Dostoevsky “as much greater than all other novelists as Homer and Shakespeare than all other poets. He is a greater psychologist, a greater prophet, and a greater thinker.” The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche considered his acquaintance with Dostoevsky’s works as one of the finest strokes of luck in his life. For him, the Russian writer is the only psychologist who has anything to teach philosophers like him. Herman Hesse says, “European and particularly German youth should feel Dostoevsky to be their greatest writer, not Goethe, not even Nietzsche...” According to Sigmund Freud, “As a writer, Dostoevsky has a place not far beneath Shakespeare’s. The Brothers Karamazov is the most masterly novel ever written…” Albert Einstein declares: “Dostoevsky means more to me than any scientist. He gives me ethical satisfaction.” Such is the literary reputation of the 19th century Russian writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (1821-1881). In the year 2021, the world celebrated the bicentenary birth anniversary of Dostoevsky. At a time when the world is fighting to recover from a global pandemic, the compassion of a pure soul, as Dostoevsky once said, can save the world. Dostoevsky’s reliance on the compassion of the pure soul, reminds us of the Svetashvatara Upanishad’s chapter-1, verse-1.3 that says “Deva atman shakti” (power of the divine soul). Within each individual presides a powerful divine soul that needs to be realised. The quotation of Dostoevsky in Idiot “the beauty will save the world” can be equated to the Indian thought of Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Satyam (the truth), Shivam (the good) and Sundaram (the beauty) are one and the same. They exist in harmony and cannot be separated from each other. In art, the ultimate bliss (Ananda) is realised when these three elements Satyam (the truth), Shivam (the good) and Sundaram (the beauty) confluence. The beauty does not have precedence over the truth; the truth does not have precedence over the good. According to the Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, Dostoevsky in his conviction never separated the truth from the good and the beauty. For Dostoevsky, the beauty, the good and the truth exist in harmony and are inseparable from each other. “Beauty will save the world” said Dostoevsky and according to Solovyov, Dostoevsky could understand the real essence of Satyam Shivam Sundaram better than any other Russian writer. The proposed International Conference is a sincere attempt to locate the confluence of Indian aesthetic tradition and Dostoevsky’s aesthetics.
