Religious Studies 251: Hinduism IM
4.00 Credits
Hiram College
This course investigates the fascinating variety of Hindu religious traditions. Historically, we will examine key epochs beginning with the Vedic period and the world of visionaries, deities, and sacrifice; moving to the speculative period of the sacred gnostic texts; continuing through the great epic period, and the medieval period of devotional and tantric movements, and systematic philosophy; and ending with Hinduism's most recent incarnations. Analytically, we will explore the sacred narratives of central Hindu deities, such as the erotic-ascetic Shiva and the Great Goddess; the lives, thoughts, and religious experiences of significant thinkers and saints such as Shankara and Gandhi; the ritual practices of yoga and devotional worship; and the dynamics of Hinduism as lived today.
