HSF1401 – (C.P.H.S – Core Course) Ritual is the laboratory where the mind is purified, settled, and prepared for higher knowledge i.e., Para Vidya. In this course the participants will learn to perform simple rituals, with the right understanding and attitude, and integrate their value into their daily life.
To the modern mind, Hindu rituals often appear to be merely repetitious and meaningless activity. And indeed, they can be performed in a way that accentuates their essential meaninglessness. But they have the power to prepare the restless mind for inwardness, as well as for appropriate engagement with the world.
