Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham launches online course on Hinduism
Hyderabad: Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has launched an online certificate programme on Hinduism titled ‘Introduction to Hinduism’.
The course, delivered by the varsity’s International Centre for Spiritual Studies, will spread across 200 hours over six months.
Lectures by more than 30 prominent scholars will offer students deep insights into the texts, traditions, philosophical schools, and worldviews of Hinduism, according to a press release.
Students will have the opportunity to interact with the scholars through live interactive sessions and group discussions. The course is divided into five units including Introduction, Fundamentals, Literature, Philosophy, and Practical Aspects of Hinduism, it said.
Brahmachari Achyutamrta Chaitanya, Dean – Amrita Darshanam, said that while it was not possible to explore the depths of Hinduism in a six-month course, the topics covered touch upon almost all its aspects.
“The aim of the programme is to awaken youth to the profound worldview offered by Hinduism. We have selected topics and condensed them in a way that they can be served to the students in a limited time, and they will be asked to explore the topics further on their own,” he said.
The course fee is Rs. 10,000 and anyone above the age of 16 years can enroll in the programme through https://amrita.edu/ahead/introduction-to-hinduism/. The first batch starts from April 2022.
