Course Content

This course spans 10 sessions of 100 minutes each. These sessions will cover aspects of the Contributions of the Hindu Civilization to the World in the Realm of Mind, towards Living and Lifestyle and will include aspects such as Health and Wellness, practices such as Yoga, Dhyana, Ahimsa, Dharma, Karma, Education, Sports and Games, Vegetarianism etc.

The Course will showcase the Mindset and Paradigm shift in Hindu thought and examine the evidence for the development and travel of thought, philosophy, spirituality, yoga, meditation, lifestyles and knowledge of consciousness and mind from India to the world.

Hindu Contributions To The World – In The Realm Of Mind has been designed to be delivered in 2 parts.

1. Sciences and Arts
This part will focus on concepts and practices from the Hindu Civilization which went on to influence and revolutionize the development of world thought as well as practice in the fields of Sciences and Arts.

2. Living and Lifestyle
In this part, focus will be on how the Hindus have laid stress on balance and have provided thought leadership to the world and steered it, especially in the areas of how to lead a balanced life. How was this undermined and how can the leadership status be regained?

In contemporary times, following the European Colonization of India, it has become ‘received knowledge’ that the Hindus were and continue to be ritualistic, superstitious, poverty ridden, timid, bare, and barely noticeable people, whose history is nothing more than the history of successive waves of invaders and colonizers who made India their home for a time.

These set of courses “Hindu Contributions To The World In The Realm of Mind” move past the modern myth that the Hindus, were backward and primitive, throughout time, and might have remained so, but for a western intervention.

This course, Hindu Contributions To The World In The Realm Of Mind – Sciences And Arts, looks beyond this myth set in motion by a 200-year long colonial encounter. It showcases contributions from India which has shaped the Self-understanding of humanity across the world and has made India such a desirable civilization for the world across times.

This course leads to the discovery of the various dimensions in which the Hindu civilization has led and steered world thought and world practices across millennia till date.

This course, Hindu Contributions To The World In The Realm of Mind – Sciences and Arts, is open to all, across the globe.
It is meant for both teenagers, parents and grandparents, 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.

It addresses the question, why did everyone, seemingly the world over, seek out the Hindu civilization, and for what?
This series of courses is designed to take discussion and contemplation from beyond the course window, into the portals of home, family and society.

This course can be taken as a standalone course during a quarter or as part of Credit based Certificate Programs of the University.

Class Structure

The Course has been designed as 10 sessions that go to build up the picture successively.

Course will be covered with 1 online session of 100 minutes each, per week.
