Dharmaśāstra texts are invaluable sources of moral and ethical guidance in Indian culture. However, contemporary engagement with these texts has been clouded by discomfort and misunderstanding, partly due to the effects of colonialism and the erosion of indigenous education. Our upcoming online course seeks to address this gap by providing a clearer understanding of Dharmaśāstras and their relevance today.

In this regard we are organising a free open session where our faculty, Shri Nithin Sridhar, will provide an overview of this INDICA Course “Introduction To Dharmashastras”.
This event is open to all. Prior registration is necessary.

Śrī Madhvācārya, the founder of Dvaita School of Vedānta, is one of the three popular Ācāryas who established their own Schools of Vedānta; Sri Śaṅkarācārya, the founder of Advaita School, and Sri Rāmāmujācārya the founder of Viśiṣṭādvaita, being the other two. Born in coastal Karnataka, in the 44th century Kali era (13th century CE), he became an ascetic at a very early age with a life mission to uncover the purport of Vedantic texts with due emphasis to our experiential knowledge and rigorous logic. His teaching of Vedantic realism is a highly useful framework to understand the meaning of life and its purpose in a convincing way. His works, collectively called Sarvamūla Granthas, are unique in many ways; notably for their wide range and for reconciling the entire corpus of Vedic texts. His life-story provides glimpses of his divine personality that add an additional layer of legitimacy to his teachings.

Our upcoming INDICA Course Introduction to Śrī Madhvācārya : Life and Works provides an introductory overview of the life and works of Śrī Madhvācārya. Participants will be able to significant events in his life, learn contexts for his works, and get an outline of the fundamental principles of his teachings.

Indic Civilisation is not only the world’s oldest continuing civilization but also the world’s most resilient and enduring one. Ancient Indian Rishis, the men of higher spiritual experiences and knowledge, guided society through their ideas. It is the power and depth of these ideas that created leaders, founders and makers of the Indic Civilisation, generation after generation, century after century, to bestow not only incredible creativity across the diverse areas of human endeavor but also rescue the Indian Civilization in times of crisis. As India ascends to the world stage with its growing economic clout, it needs to draw and nurture leadership from its own roots, its own genius. The Indic Civilization is one of its own kind with a wide range of thinking, captured in its scripture, into drivers of successful and enduring leadership.

INDICA Courses has started a new “Leadership Lessons ” series and the first of these comprises of “Leadership Lessons From the Vedas”. It explores the depth and width of Classical Indic Leadership for leaders (young and emerging as well as mature) to guide and inspire them to leave an enduring legacy as their contribution to the Indic Civilisation.

In this regard we are organising an open session where our faculty will provide an overview of this INDICA Course on Leadership Lessons From the Vedas.

India is a land of enormous cultural heritage. There are various significant elementsthat have kept this spark alive for various centuries. Hindu Temples have been an active character of Indian cultural heritage and one of the most illustrious aspects of Indian art and architecture. Temples have been conceived in India for many centuries as a sentiment towards the Divine with a perfect blend of geography, planning principles, ornamentation, crafts and other vibrant elements. The regional variation across the country in the past has added something prodigious to the idea of temples.

Our upcoming INDICA Course will offer a historic and cultural overview of Hindu temples with a special emphasis on art and architecture. It will provide a deep insight into the various tangible and intangible aspects of the Hindu temples in India.

Kashmir, the Land of Sharada has always been the land of Rishis and great scholars in various fields of knowledge. Hieun Tsnag during his visit in the 7th century AD noted that Sanskrit is spoken fluently even by women and children of Kashmir like their native language. People used Sharada as the main script to write Sanskrit. Sharada Lipi (script) is a writing system based on the Brahmic family of scripts and has flourished in the northern part of India, especially Kashmir Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. Sharada texts have been widely found in Afghanistan. The oldest text of this script is dated 3rd Century CE.  There are thousands of manuscripts written in Sharada Lipi, available in many libraries within and outside India; most of them are still unexplored.

Our upcoming free INDICA Course, in collaboration with Core Sharda Team, open to learners above the age of 10 years, is our humble effort to revive the script and explore the knowledge hidden in these manuscripts written centuries ago. We invite all learners and language enthusiasts to Learn Sharada Lipi, a 2000 years old script predominantly used in Kashmir and other parts of north India. Core Sharda Team, a not-for-profit organisation, has been working for the revival of this ancient, sacred script for nearly a decade.

What are the metaphysics and ethics that undergird the creative impulses of Rabindranath Tagore, Asia’s first Nobel laureate and composer of the national anthem of India?

To answer this question, we have curated an INDICA Course that offers an opportunity to learn about the life and works of the “Poet Laureate of India” and discover the deeper aesthetic, philosophical, and spiritual roots of the Sūkti-s or noble utterances of a Modern Indian Rishi. It will be an immersion in Tagore’s creative and critical corpus to help the learner understand the keynote of Tagore’s monumental literary, artistic, and altruistic oeuvre – which is the unique Hindu emphasis on aspiring for the higher modes of existence, the life of the spirit, without denying the life of flesh and blood for a moment, while treating the latter as an important site of the unfolding of – and a veritable proof of – the former.

In this webinar, our faculty will overview this INDICA Course on Introduction to Rabindranath Tagore : Life and Works.
