Featured Testimonial

Course Content

Discover Dharma – A Study Tour in India course is designed to offer an integral exploration of Dharma, involving both theory and experience. It is offered in the format of a Study Tour in India. Each time this course is offered, it may feature a different itinerary, visiting different parts of India and even different parts of the world connected with Sanatana Dharma. A Faculty will accompany the cohort of students who are part of the course. The tour will usually take between three and four weeks to complete.

There will be a few classes via Zoom before and after the Tour. The Faculty joining the tour will discuss the specifics of the content of the course as well as the various destinations that the tour will be visiting. This study tour in India will be a once-in-a-lifetime unforgettable experience.

Tour Itinerary # 1:

The first inaugural Study Tour will trace the footsteps of Bhagavan Shri Rama from Ayodhya to Lanka and back. Rama is considered the very embodiment and incarnation of Dharma through the Sanskrit phrase Vigrahavan Dharma. He set a standard for Dharma living and ethical behavior with the example of his life – as a man, as a son, as a brother, as a husband, as a King, as a defender of Dharma against Adharma.

His life is revered today through the many ways in which his story is recounted starting with the Valmiki Ramayana. The study tour in India will begin in New Delhi, and trace his journey from Ayodhya, Chitrakoot, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Nashik, Panchavati, Lepakshi, Hampi, Kishkinda, Madurai, Rameswaram and various locations in Sri Lanka.

Class Structure

There will be a minimum of 1.5 contact hours with one or more faculty about two to three times before the tour begins and twice after the tour ends. The class is structured in a way that prepares the students for the study-tour at the beginning and promotes discussion and debate based on students’ experience of the tour after it is completed. The Study Tour itself is an immersive experience with classes, lectures and discussions woven throughout the tour.

The subjects being discussed during the study tour in India will correspond with the places being visited. Faculty will discuss the assignments and expectations from the students in the first few sessions of the course. Graduate Students who are incorporating this course into the Field Based Learning course, will have to discuss the requirements for a paper submission with their Graduate Student Advisor.
