Discover the depth of the Hindu philosophies

Spiritual living in Hindu philosophies

The course introduces the Hindu philosophical principles (Darśanas). Focus will be on prominent Vedic Darśanas.

During the course, participants will learn, discuss and reflect on these Darśanas in order to enrich their knowledge and implementation in their own life. The course also offers the opportunity to explore contemporary issues which are relevant to the Hindu community. In reflecting on these issues and writing assignments on them, the own practice and development of self-awareness is stimulated.

The course specifically offers an integrative knowledge approach to Darśanas, to create awareness of the nuances behind the Hindu philosophies. This also enriches the personal spirituality and experience.
