Across the Universe: Hindu Dharma and Western Creative Arts

They include some of the world’s most beautiful and beloved literature, cinema, music, and other works of art.
This creative transmission—which has been both explicit and implicit, both obvious and subtle—has transformed millions of lives while producing expressions of genius that will inspire and illuminate for centuries to come. Each week we’ll meet legendary masters and virtuosos, and we’ll immerse ourselves in the rasa of their brilliant creations. The course will elevate our appreciation of India’s timeless spiritual heritage as well as of certain poetry, novels, films, and music.

Arthasastra
$1,500.00CPS6505 – Kautilya’s Arthaśāstra, written around 300 BC, is a text on statecraft, on political realism. It deals with various topics including war and diplomacy, how a king can retain his kingdom and become a conqueror, how to make allies and know the enemies, and how to make treaties. It focuses on elements, what can be termed in modern usage diplomacy, such as the doctrine of a silent war, propaganda, secret agents, how to use women as weapons of war, and how to use religion and superstition to advantage.

Kautilya is the founder of Mandala Theory of foreign policy, which can be termed as a precursor of the theories of political realism and balance of power. He favored righteous war than greedy and demoniacal wars.
