REL 107 - Introduction to Hinduism

Hinduism, dominant in south Asia and one of the world’s great religions, is explored through a variety of approaches. An introductory textbook will provide the framework for a poly-methodic examination of the Hindu traditions. Ancient texts, modern literature, a visit to a Hindu temple, experiential learning with a yoga instructor, art and film together will contribute a foundational understanding of Hinduism as an ancient wisdom tradition, and as a modern national identity.
