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 Hinduism series under the aegis of the Hindu University of America (HUA).

Coming in this series, this course, titled “Exploring Hinduism – Divinities and Dharma of Hindu Civilization”, will take the explorer on a journey to the beyond to understand the various Divinities that the Hindu 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 Hinduism series will help discern the various Divinities in the Hindu Pantheon and see Hindu thought manifested as Science, Spirituality, Symbolism, Philosophy, Religion, Rituals, Tradition, Art and Culture.

It will also throw light on the significant term in Hinduism, called Dharma. It will help see and understand this pivot around which Hinduism and all other religions born out of India are based and which forms a common thread tying them all together as Dharmic orders of the world.

WHO CAN REGISTER FOR THE COURSE?:
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.

For those in active professions, this course will open their minds to a larger perspective of how this civilizational thought had successfully straddled and blended Science, Spirituality, Philosophy, Religion, Industry, Economics, Management, Art and Culture into Family, Professional and Social Life.

It can also be taken by both teenagers, parents and grand parents, together or separately to explore the spirit of Hinduism with an intent to stimulate meaningful conversation about Hinduism between teenagers and their parents.
