For the Mahabharata course, about 170 students have signed up so far, and 120 students have signed up for Essence of Hinduism. At least 30 to 40 of these students are foreigners.

The lecturers will also discuss an introduction to several facets of “sanatana dharma,” which will help you better comprehend the culture and live a peaceful existence.

A postgraduate programme, an MA in Philosophy, and PhD programmes in philosophy, spirituality, and interdisciplinary studies are also available through the International Centre for Spiritual Studies.

Students will get profound insights into the texts, traditions, philosophical schools, and worldviews of Hinduism through lectures from more than 30 eminent scholars. This comprises knowledgeable professors from the Mata Amritanandamayi Math and the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, lecturers from several Indian universities, and traditional Brahmachari and Sannyasi scholars.

Through in-person seminars that are interactive and group discussions, the students will have the chance to converse with the professors. Introduction, fundamentals, literature, philosophy, and practical elements of Hinduism are among the five sections that make up the course.

Eligibility Criteria

Hinduism’s core values The Bhagavad Gita is also discussed in class, but even then, it just points the path. The practises that practitioners follow are hardly affected by it. Hinduism can be compared to the Ganges River, which originates clean and unpolluted but gathers up impurities along the way. Like the Ganga, the Bhagavad Gita has a favourable overall impact. It takes on a specific form in each province, but the essential ideas remain the same. A custom is not a religion. No matter how customs change, religion will not.

After finishing the online course on the essence of Hinduism, you will be able to:

• Achieve harmony between your material and spiritual goals in life.

• Any culture or individual can apply this examination of our faith.

• Ahimsa Dharma
