Adhyasa bhasya of Adi Sankara
$300.00TAT4000 – (C.P.H.S – Core Course) This course will unfold the adhyasa bhasya, considered perhaps to be the magnum opus of Adi Sankara. This text finds its place as the introduction to Sankara’s exhaustive commentary of the brahma sutras, known also by different names such as Vyasa sutras, bhiksu sutras or saririka sutras.
Adhyasa means superimposition, which causes the appearance of a thing on a locus other than its own. This is the main source of bondage due to the ignorance of the Self and subsequently taking the non-Self to be the Self. Sankara outlines adroitly the different intricacies of Adhyasa for the very purpose of removing it through knowledge and realize the oneness of the jiva and Brahman.

Dhyaanam – Meditation and the Meditator
$200.00HSF2101 – (C.P.H.S – Core Course) Living in the contemporary world includes navigating conflicts at the level of family, work, society and even in one’s mind. The modern practice of mindfulness which continues to help millions across the world has its roots in the Vedic tradition.
Unfortunately, four things are missing in the way mindfulness is taught – a. the true purpose of meditation, b. the foundation of Dharma to live a harmonious life, c. the understanding of Ishvara and d. an enquiry into the meditator that is ever present in all types of meditations. This course will help us return to the Vedic roots of Dhyaanam such that we integrate a suitable, meaningful and sustainable practice of Dhyaanam in our busy lives so that we may live with a greater clarity, cheerfulness and purpose.

Introduction to Bhagavadgita
HSF5002 – The Bhagavad Gita is a moksha-shastra, a sacred text that reveals the vision of the Upanisads. In that vision one is, in reality, whole and complete, the truth of all that is. Knowing this fulfills the fundamental human aspiration for the fulfillment, freeing one from the problem of seeking, here or in the hereafter. It is also a yoga-sastra, a sastra that teaches not only the prerequisites to gaining this vision but the means for acquiring them. For students curious to know how to study Bhagavad Gita, this course will explore both aspects of this sastra through selected verses, to arrive at a comprehensive and consistent overview of the Bhagavadgita.

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.
