Josephine Acosta Pasricha

Josephine Acosta Pasricha (born March 26, 1945-June 6, 2020) was a Filipino indologist who translated the "Ramacharitamanasa" of Tulasi Dasa, the Hindi translation of the Ramayana by Valmiki in Sanskrit, into the Filipino language.

Pasricha herself was mentored by Filipino indologist Juan R. Francisco. She made a complete unpublished Filipino translation of the seven books of the "Ramacharitamanasa" of Tulasi Dasa, accompanied with contextual, intertextual and textual analysis, and cross-references with Sanskrit, Hindi and English translations.

An expert in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, she was also a Ford Foundation research scholar to the University of Delhi. She taught humanities in the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, up until her death. In the undergraduate level, she taught Art Appreciation, Aesthetics and Hermeneutics. In the graduate level, she taught Advanced Aesthetics, Advanced Hermeneutics, Cultural Studies, Feminist Philosophy and Theology of the Body.

She was one of the editors of the Filipino translation of Kama Sutra by Marvin Reyes and Paz Panganiban. The translation is based on the work of Vatsyayana and Sir Richard Burton. Dr. Pasricha died on June 6, 2020 due to cardiac arrest.

Personal life

Pasricha was married to an Indian man and had two daughters,[1] Sarina and Satya (also known as Selene). Both daughters were raised in the Philippines and now work in India for a global Indian Informational Technology company.[2]
