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 Exploring Bharatam series under the aegis of the Hindu University of America (HUA). Coming in this series, this course, titled “Exploring Bharata Divinities and Dharma”, will take the explorer on a journey to the beyond to understand the various Divinities that this civilization has discerned. Why did they need and discern so many, countless Divinities? Are they really that many? What do they stand for and why are they represented the way they are? Are they real, conceptual or historical? |
This course in the Exploring Bharatam series will help discern the various Divinities in the pantheon of Bharat and see Bharata thought manifested as Science, Spirituality, Symbolism, Philosophy, Religion, Rituals, Tradition, Art and Culture.It will also throw light on the significant term of Bharatam called Dharma.
