“If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search after truth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu.

Bachelor Minor – HINDU, SPIRITUALITY, RELIGION & SOCIETY

Is Hinduism a religion or a spiritual worldview? Does one of the oldest ways of living have some integrative wisdom that’s relevant for addressing future global challenges? Yoga and beyond…

Discover the open architecture of Hinduism for spirituality, religiosity and society, as this minor takes us on a learning journey through some of the Hindu texts, traditions, beliefs and practices to nurture thinking towards integrative sustainable development. 

This minor (30 ECTS points) aims to nurture integrative thinking and critical reflexivity among participants to connect Hindu studies with contemporary global narratives on societal challenges, such as UN-SDGs, against the backdrop of multireligious, multicultural and multitude of political ideologies. It is open for all bachelor students. They can choose one, more or all five courses of the minor. Some will be delivered online and some in person. More information about this minor will be published in the coming months. More details: https://vu.nl/en/education/minor/hindu-spirituality-religion-and-society
