The Renaissance of Sanatana Dharma In the Light of Sri Aurobindo - Part 1

HSF3101 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) More than any one single figure, Sri Aurobindo prophesied that the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma was necessary for all of humanity. It is this Sanatana Dharma which has kept Adhyatma as its core foundation, insisting on Truth alone, seeking peace, harmony, beauty, perfection, purity, self-knowledge, oneness and unity, light and delight, and does not reject any aspect of life. This three-quarter course sequence is an attempt to revisit the principles, core teachings, the Shastras, practices, the past, present, and future of Sanatana Dharma in the light of Sri Aurobindo. We will also examine the state of the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma, current day misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and challenges and revisit the insights of the ancient seers and sages – all through the vision of Sri Aurobindo.

Description

The Renaissance of Sanatana Dharma  In the Light of Sri Aurobindo – Part 1 Course Content:

Sri Aurobindo believed that India must rise to give Sanatana Dharma to the world, to the whole of humanity. He said, that while “… other religions are preponderating religions of faith and profession, but the Sanatana Dharma is life itself; it is a thing that has not so much
to be believed as lived. This is the dharma that for the salvation of humanity was cherished in the seclusion of this peninsula from of old.”

It is the Dharma which is universal in nature and embraces all. It is the Dharma whose sole aspiration is to triumph over falsehood and all that limits us. It is the Dharma which aspires to awaken the spirit in matter. It is the Dharma which embraces all possible means to become one with the Divine. Unfortunately, post-independent India, embarked on a journey of progress that deepened a plethora of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of this eternal Dharma, alienating people from their cultural roots.

We are in the midst of a struggle which is not only bewildering and perplexing but is also full of confusions and blind prejudices and passions. Consequently, an average young Indian mind, whether born and brought up in India or abroad, feels handicapped in matters of Sanatana Dharma as it has not yet discovered the conviction to lead a life consistent with the vision of Sanatana Dharma.

What does the future hold? What is the future of Sanatana Dharma? Perhaps no one else has spoken more eloquently on this subject than Sri Aurobindo, the Rishi of India’s renaissance. It is in Sri Aurobindo that we see that the renascent India is called upon to build up integral consciousness which can manifest the divine potently, and find original solutions in all fields of activity, scientific, philosophical, cultural, social, economic, political, and so on. In this course, on the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo, we will revisit his vision, for the future of Bharat, and of Sanatana Dharma.

Learning Objectives:
In this course, students will be able to:
1. Get introduced to the life, works and contributions of Sri Aurobindo

4. Appreciate the different stages of evolution of Sanatana Dharma
5. Evaluate contemporary issues regarding Sanatana Dharma, and frequently mistaken and ignorant views about it
