Explore Hindu traditions from classical to contemporary times, emphasizing ritual, knowledge, and devotion. We'll begin with South Asian roots in the Vedic tradition and key religious foundations, move to early and classical Hindu thought through the concept of dharma, then explore major deities through their narratives, practices, and iconography. We will examine the six major schools of Hindu philosophy, consider bhakti (devotion), and conclude with sacred spaces and pilgrimage practices. Note: The new refund policy applies.
