Masterclass in Yoga Concepts
$300.00YOG4000 – Most people think of yoga as something done on a yoga mat in a yoga studio, and mostly associate it with physical poses, asanas. Yet those from Indian background hear the term Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, etc. which may have nothing to do with mats and poses. Yoga is defined by the philosophy of yoga enunciated by sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras.
Patanjali provides the principles of yoga. The key point is that we are all instruments of the cosmic flow. By being true to our cosmic purpose (one’s own Dharma, SvaDharma) without reactivity, one serves the purpose of one’s life and becomes purified. Such purification enables one to be released from rebirth (Moksha) and through the process of inquiry divine the Ultimate Reality.
Thus, yoga is not a set of practices, but living life with cosmic awareness that can be applied to every aspect of life. The principles of Yoga Sutras and approaches to cultivating the cosmic awareness will be the substance of this course. Accordingly, in the inquiry spirit of yoga, attendees are encouraged to ask questions with a view to orienting their own lives towards yogic living.

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?
A late payment fee of $50 will be charged for all the Summer 2023 courses registrations from July 7, 2023 – Applied.

Readings in Modern Hinduism
$1,500.00HAM6403 – Who were the thinkers and architects of modern India? How did their views of Hinduism and of the history of Indian civilization shape their vision of the reality of post-Independence India? What projects of reform, modernization, or social change did they set in motion? In this course, we shall read extracts from the works of thinkers who articulated the concept of a “Hindu” religion, often in dialogue with Western scholars and missionaries.
We shall particularly focus on the role of an English-speaking elite in this process, especially those active in the major reform movements, Brahmo Samaj, Prarthana Samaj, and Arya Samaj. Throughout, we shall contrast traditional modes of self-relation, guided by ethical reflection and individual self-discipline (askesis), with modern views of Hinduism, including its cultural, nationalistic, and assimilated expressions.

Reconstructing Hindu History – The Commissions
$300.00HAM4201 – (C.P.H.S – Core Course) This course is the first of a two-quarter course sequence that examines the scientific evidence emerging in contemporary times, in relation to the popular narratives on the history of the Hindu civilization, logically and rationally.

We use the term “Hindu” in a rich multi-dimensional context, inclusive of varied geographical, genetic, linguistic, cultural, and philosophical meanings.

Sahitya – III
$900.00(SAN7103) – In the Hindu literary tradition, literary compositions inculcate awareness and sensibility of Dharma in the minds of both the commoner and the connoisseur. As with all śāstras in the Indic knowledge traditions, kāvya and kāvya-śāstra, i.e. literary composition and the theory of composition have a well instituted and standardized methodology, structure and system. This is the third course in a sequence of four courses in Sāhitya – Classical Sanskrit literature.
In India, Sanskrit drama was a living tradition of performance that connected classical literature to the public. The theories of drama are sensitive to this aspect and provide in detail and depth, in addition to literary theories, guidelines for the infrastructure, stage-plan, attire, and countenance of the actors, etc. The psychological elements that influence the audience and methods to bring the desired sentiment in the performance are also discussed.
Prerequisites:
1) The medium of Instruction is Sanskrit
2) Only currently enrolled Sanskrit master’s certificate students can register for these courses.
3) Admission into Master Program in Sanskrit.

Sri Aurobindo and Sanatana Dharma
$300.00HSF3104 – (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.

The Vedic Origins of Hinduism
$1,500.00HSF5001 – In order to understand the roots of Hinduism which for many thousands of years has kept the fundamentals of Sanatana Dharma alive, the Veda has to be understood in its essence. There have been several attempts to discover the true sense of the Vedic Mantras. Yet the Veda has been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and presented to contemporary humanity in a way that has lost its essential meaning.
Today there still remains a wide gap in our understanding of what the Veda meant to convey. This course on the Vedic Origins of Hinduism will examine various interpretations of the Veda and seek to enter the spirit of the seers of the Veda. It will provide students with a deep insight into the uninterrupted continuity of Hindu thought as it unfolded across the millennia, keeping the foundational values of the civilisation alive from generation to generation.
