Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hinduism at Post Graduate level We continue to conduct courses on Hinduism for Post Graduate students at about a dozen Universities in the UK. In some cases we travel to the universities, in some cases the students come to us. This week 22 students from University of Exeter visited us to study Hinduism. These sessions which are more philosophically oriented generate a visible excitement. After this session the course leader, Mark Brimicombe emailed us, " On the way back in the coach, two young men spent 2hrs and 10 minutes discussing the nature of God in the light of your pluralist ideas. I think that says it all." Such encounters make us very aware of the key role Hinduism can play in reviving and refreshing the message of spirituality in the modern world. The special features of Hinduism like: Religious Pluralism, Spiritual Humanism, Reconciliation between Science and Spirituality and Experiential Religion excite the participants and generate a very positive reaction. We are making good progress with London Mettropolitan University in setting up a MA course in Hinduism. This course will incorporate the above themes. jay lakhani Hindu Council UK & Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
