What a wonderful talk. I have long wanted to enroll. Now I’ve retired, woohoo…. Soon I’ll be able to take a class or 2. It was a motivational talk for me, thank you.
Incredibly necessary and enlightening. The depth of study is beyond what I have ever heard. Non Hindus can benefit greater than Hindus themselves. Most Hindus are satisfied to remain cultural Hindus and nothing more.
Such a valuable and remarkable contribution towards holistic and progressive learning of Hinduism. I have taken 2 online courses from OCHS and they were intellectually stimulating and very satisfying. My appreciation increased manifold towards the philosophy, teachings and entire tradition.
I have always wondered why at the time of independence,India began looking westwards, especially concerning education in general & failed to discover the amazing & complex culture of the land,& teach it properly to the youngsters!?Perhaps, this is very simplistically expressed
*Hinduism had greater scope* *of debate and discussions* *on Spiritual topics even* *Upanishad are result of that* for that we need ascetic scholars deep thinkers , not just subtle explanations from all paths like Bhakti , Gyan , karma Yogas. we don't have commandments , every hindu can self learn and find his path to salvation or moksha.
Nice talk 👍. Please continue to focus on the (rigorous) academic study of the foundational texts of Hinduism. I think the center should be more narrow as regards the areas it chooses to focus on. Rather than practices, customs, arts, etc., I think the focus should be on texts. 🙏
It’s good that there is an initiative to do this but is it done for the right reasons? Harvard has the same type of setup yet they do a lot of work towards defaming Hinduism and create atrocity literature.
Dear Sir, I have been on the HDS/CSWR site many times and have never encountered any defaming of Hinduism nor any other Religion; Only respect. I'm sorry if you experienced anything different - surely it's not typical at all.
I am grateful for your institute as a source for learning about India and Hindu traditions. Just beginning to dive into your programmes.

But, Jainism was also developed in India
