Exploring the Depths of Sanatana Dharma through Sri Aurobindo’s Teachings | HUA
This course is about the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma, which Sri Aurobindo believed was necessary for all of humanity. Sanatana Dharma is based on the core principles of seeking Truth alone, seeking peace, harmony, beauty, perfection, purity, self-knowledge, oneness and unity, light and delight, and does not reject any aspect of life.
The course is divided into three parts. Part 1 covered an overview of Sri Aurobindo’s life and works, the fundamentals of Sanatana Dharma, foundations of Indian culture, an overview of the sacred texts of Sanatana Dharma, the idea of Spirituality, Dharma, Purushartha, Brahmacharya and the message of Sanatana Dharma to humanity. Part 2 introduced the sacred texts of Sanatana Dharma (Vedas, Upanishads, Gita and Tantra) and evaluated those in the light of Sri Aurobindo.
Part 3 aims to introduce some of the key concepts of Sanatana Dharma such as Gods and Goddesses, Punarjanma or Rebirth, Law of Karma and Human Destiny, Avatarhood, Rituals, Fasts and Festivals, etc. These concepts are important to understand to delve deep into the endless depth of Sanatana Dharma. All these concepts will be discussed in the light of Sri Aurobindo’s Perspectives.
