About the Free Webinar:
But how much of this knowledge has been misunderstood, overlooked, or even dismissed?
In this thought-provoking webinar, join Dr. Raj Vedam as we explore the rich and often underappreciated tradition of ancient Indian astronomy—a discipline that blends mathematical rigor, observational excellence, and symbolic insight. You’ll gain a glimpse into how early astronomers studied celestial cycles, developed calendar systems, and encoded astronomical knowledge in both technical texts and narrative traditions.
You’ll also have the opportunity to learn directly from HUA faculty, ask questions, and experience the depth and rigor of the academic approach.
Whether you’re curious about India’s scientific heritage, interested in astronomy, or exploring deeper study in Hindu knowledge systems, this webinar offers a powerful entry point.
By the end of the session, you’ll not only walk away with a new perspective on the cosmos—you’ll see why this subject deserves deeper exploration through our full course, where these ideas are studied in far greater depth, including hands-on tools like planetarium software and primary source analysis.
This is a complimentary webinar, thoughtfully curated to offer depth, clarity, and high-value insights—reflecting the quality of a premium learning experience.
