Orientation to Hindu Studies
This Course is an important point of entry into the entire curriculum offered by Hindu University of America and a prerequisite for all Graduate level programs.
The word ‘Orientation’ in this course title carries two meanings. The first and obvious meaning is that the course will provide an overview of the unique programs, areas of study and courses offered by Hindu University of America. It will ‘orient’ the student towards the university and provide a map of a possible educational journey. The second and not-so-obvious meaning of the word is the idea, that one can approach Hindu Studies from many different angles and vantage points.
In the course we will look at these different ‘perspectives’ on Hindu Studies and inquire into the question ‘What does Hindu Studies mean today?’. What is the unique ‘orientation’ that makes Hindu studies at HUA so distinct, profound, and transformative? How does Hindu studies look when viewed from an outsider’s vantage point, especially through the enlightenment era paradigm? And how does it look when viewed from an insider’s paradigm, i.e., a worldview that is authentic to Sanatana Dharma?

Self-knowledge and the quest for Happiness
HSF2102 – (CPHS – Core) In this course, we will take an inward journey to discover that one was always Ananta, one who has no limits, but had assumed oneself to be limited because of association with the body-mind-sense-complex. Our quest for happiness is fulfilled in the quest for self- knowledge. We will use sections of Tattvabodha (The wisdom of reality) by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya and some other verses from Vedanta texts to see who we really are. The mirror of Vedanta shows the unchanging nature of oneself as Ananta or Ananda.
