Overview:
The Degree of Masters of Arts in Hindu Studies aims to train the students in the development and applications of Hindu Culture in various aspects of life.
There has always been a need for expertise in “Hindu Studies”. Such need will only grow with time, because of India’s rapid emergence as an economic, military, technological, and cultural power on the global stage, and the consequential heightened interest in Hindus and their civilization. Unfortunately, no Indian university offers such a program. MA program in Hindu Studies fills this important gap.
As Sri Sri University envisions to bring together the best of western innovation with the ancient values and the wisdom of the east, the MA Hindu Studies program intends to offer courses that will not only give a fair understanding of the value systems of the east but will also impart holistic and value-integrated education in order to develop visionary thinkers with social consciousness to lead and precipitate inevitable changes with summative call for Learn-Lead-Serve.
