    Sri Aurobindo and Sanatana Dharma

    $300.00

    HSF3104 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) More than any one single figure, Sri Aurobindo prophesied that the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma was necessary for all of humanity. It is this Sanatana Dharma which has kept Adhyatma as its core foundation, insisting on Truth alone, seeking peace, harmony, beauty, perfection, purity, self-knowledge, oneness and unity, light and delight, and does not reject any aspect of life.

    This course is an attempt to revisit the principles, core teachings, the Shastras, practices, the past, present, and future of Sanatana Dharma in the light of Sri Aurobindo. We will also examine the state of the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma, current day misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and challenges and revisit the insights of the ancient seers and sages – all through the vision of Sri Aurobindo.

    Sustainability is Sanatana Dharma

    $200.00

    CPS2003 – (C.P.H.S – Elective Course) This course explores how the modern quest for sustainability relates to the eternal search for morality and universal truths in Sanatana Dharma.

    It exposes two axiomatic flaws in our global industrial civilization that prevents humanity from contributing more to the ecosystems of the planet than extracting from them. As James Lovelock said, “If the earth improves as a result of human presence, we will flourish. If it does not, we will perish.” Therefore, creating a sustainable civilization requires aligning and implementing real world systems to facilitate our eternal search for inner peace (Chitta Vritti Nirodha) and the unity of all life (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam).
