One way is to list them from the perspective of Matter, which explores the contributions of the Hindus to the world so as to have shaped the material progress of humanity.
The other perspective, Hindu Contributions To The World In The Realm Of Mind, explores the contributions which have influenced Human thought, sciences, and spirituality through time.
Both these perspectives and courses modelled after them, investigate the question – “Are Hindu ideas obsolete? Or do they have contemporary relevance?”
COURSE DESIGN
These courses are open to all, from teens to grandparents, from students to professionals to academicians to homemakers to cultural enthusiasts as well as retirees.
Hindu Contributions To The World - In The Realm Of Matter has been designed to be delivered in 2 parts.
Part A – The BIG 5
To gain an understanding of the 5 major contributions that were made by the Hindus to the world. How they impacted the world and the Hindu Civilization? What happened to them and what can we learn from them for today’s context?
Part B – The Game Changer
To gain an understanding of what was the advantage that the Hindus had cultivated, due to which they had been able to rule the tastes, possessions and obsessions of the world. How was this advantage snatched away and how does an understanding of the same bear relevance today?
What were the Game Changers for India?
What made India the Game Changer for the World?
Over these 2 parts of 10 sessions each, where each part spans a quarter, these courses will cover a variety of areas of innovation, inventions, development and trade, and sustained contributions that characterized the Hindu civilization for millennia.
Each part is independent of the other and can be taken in any sequence.
Invite you to join these courses to relish and imbibe the Hindu mindset of industry, trade and prosperity - what is called Shubh Labh.
