Dr. D.K.Hari and Dr. D.K.Hema Hari of Bharath Gyan will be once again conducting one of their courses in their popular course - Exploring Hinduism series under the aegis of the Hindu University of America (HUA). This course is open to all, across the globe. It is meant for both teenagers, parents and grand parents, together or separately and will focus on exploring the spirit of Hinduism with an intent to stimulate meaningful conversation about Hinduism between teenagers and their parents. This series of courses is designed to take discussion and contemplation from beyond the course window, into the portals of home, family and society. |
Coming in this series of courses, this course, titled “Exploring Hinduism – Society and Culture of Hindu Civilization”, will take the explorer to the core of this civilization to fathom the weave that makes up the fabric of the Hindu Civilization.
It will showcase how the various dimensions of a Hindu life are interlaced together, to form the intricately woven fabric called the Hindu Samaj.
This course will also throw light on how, despite these various dimensions, this civilization has had a common culture, the Bharatiya Kalachar.
It will help understand why the Hindus are considered to be the most adaptable, accomodating and assimilating people in the world and how the Hindu Civilization has been a hallmark for Unity and Diversity?
This course will also throw light on factors that have caused a substantial breakdown of this Hindu Society and its flourish.
It will clear the wrong understanding of the Hindu Society and break the myths that have wrongly dubbed the it as a patriarchal, male dominated, oppressive, rigid, stratified, regressive society.
This course is open to all - with or without Indian or Hindu roots, wherever they may be in the world.
This course is part of a Certificate Program of the University and 12 credits will be awarded on successful completion of the program. Click here to know more about the Credits and the 8 quarters / 2 year Certificate Program in Hindu Civilizational Studies of which this course is a part.
