Course Description

HSF1007 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) This course, targets an age group of 18-35 and will explore the question – Is Hindu Dharma relevant in the contemporary world? If so, in what way? Or, has it been superseded once and for all by western modernity, science, and technology? Set in a conversational format, with lively Questions and Answers and Group discussion, the course enables students to explore and discover for themselves, the timeless relevance of Vedic Hindu thought in a modern context.

The course is especially relevant for those who wish not only to explore and embrace Hindu Dharma for themselves, i.e., their own lives, but also represent and communicate the essence and value of Vedic teachings in an environment suffused with western ideas.
