Applied Vedic Science – Advanced (Vedanta)
$900.00(SAN8110) – The schools of philosophy based on the last portions of the Vedas, i.e. Vedānta, not only vary in their interpretation of the Vedānta but also differ among themselves with regard to their categories and ontology of the world both here and hereafter. A long dialectical tradition among these schools of Vedānta lives and flourishes to this day.
It is interesting to comparatively analyze and understand the ontologies and categories proposed by these different schools of Vedānta to understand the intriguing nature of the Vedas. This course is the second of a two-part course series on Vedānta.

Applied Vedic Science – Advanced (Yoga)
$900.00(SAN8105) – The wellbeing of the individual and society in the Vedic vision of the universe included both material and spiritual wellbeing. Systematic exploration of the state of holistic wellbeing is discussed widely in the Vedic knowledge systems.
The system of Yoga proposes a practical model of developing such wellbeing through engagement in practices that enrich the physical, mental, psychological and spiritual states of an individual, presented systematically in the sūtras (aphorisms) of Patañjali. These means of progressing in this state of holistic wellbeing is a seminal contribution of this Vedic system to humanity. This course is the second of a two-part course series on the system of Yoga.

Mimamsa Advanced
$900.00(SAN8106) – Epistemology is an important subject of study across several śāstras in the Indic knowledge tradition, in both Vedic and non-Vedic streams. Each of these knowledge systems systematically develops a science of knowledge i.e. examining what is knowable, through human cognition, what is inferable through methods of reasoning, but not perceivable, and what is unknowable within a system of thought.
While theories of hermeneutics emerge most significantly from the tradition of Pūrva-mīmāṁsā, some important theories pertaining to epistemology are also notable in this system. In discussing what is knowable within a thought system, knowledge itself is often discussed and defined in various Hindu knowledge systems, with great precision.
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 through HUA.

Nyaya-Vaisesika Basic
$900.00(SAN6101) – Two distinct systems of classification of world phenomena, i.e. ontologies have emerged from the Vedic thought called Nyaya and Vaisesika. They form the fundamental bedrock for all Indic knowledge traditions.
Originating from the sutras of Gotama and Kanada, these systems developed sound and systematic logic and reasoning and substantially influenced the trajectory of logic and reason and their use within the world of Hindu knowledge systems. The evolution of the Navya-nyaya system and its eventual merger with the Vaisesika system of thought was a later development.

Sahitya – Padya
$900.00(SAN6103) – 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 second course in a sequence of four courses in Sāhitya – Classical Sanskrit literature which features an abundance of compositions of metrical verses rather than prose. Consequently, the theories of composition discuss the elements and standards of poetry in great depth and shape the ideas of aesthetics in the Indic literary world.

The Vedas (Atharva)
$900.00(SAN8104) – Vedic texts constitute the foundation of the worldview and way of life that informs Hindu life and culture. Like the other Vedas, Atharvaveda is also structured into sections called Saṁhitā (verses in praise of Vedic devatās or deities), Brāhmaṇa (ritual practice or liturgy), and Upaniṣad (spiritual and philosophical expositions or exegesis). Unlike the other Vedas, the Atharvaveda has no known Āraṇyaka section. The Mantras of the Atharvaveda provide reflections on worldly sciences such as governance, administration, and information about diseases and their cures.

Vyakarana – IV
$900.00(SAN8102) – Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is a monumental work in the sūtra format (short aphorisms) that establishes the grammar for classical Sanskrit as a language. At the same time, the text also presents a general model for language description, that goes beyond Sanskrit as a specific language instance. This is the fourth course in a sequence of four courses on Vyākaraṇa (grammar) based on Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī.
The formalism of grammar developed by Pāṇini has its foundation in the philosophy of language in the Indian tradition elucidated by Vyāḍi. After Pāṇini, Bhartṛhari explained this comprehensively in his compendium named Vākyapadīya, which elucidates the universal philosophy of language, and is considered as a pathway to liberation in the Vyākaraṇa tradition.
