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 Bharatam 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 Bharatam with an intent to stimulate meaningful conversation about Bharat 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 Bharata Society and Culture”, will take the explorer to the core of this civilization to fathom the weave that makes up the fabric of the Bharata Civilization.
It will showcase how the various dimensions of life in Bharatam are interlaced together, to form the intricately woven fabric called a Samaj.
This course will also throw light on how, despite these various dimensions, this civilization has had a common culture, the Bharata Kalachar.
It will help understand why people from India are considered to be the most adaptable, accomodating and assimilating people in the world and how the Bharata 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 Bharata Society and its flourish.
It will clear the wrong understanding of the Bharata 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 Bharata roots, wherever they may be in the world.
