India’s Religious Traditions
Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism

India is home to the ancient religious traditions, Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. They differ significantly from Abrahamic religions on the idea of Divinity, soul, and afterlife. They have evolved over time and are open to further interpretations in the future. The lectures for those 50 and over will include their philosophies, historical evolution, and their role in the contemporary socio-political landscape. Instructor Venkat Lakshminarayanan grew up in India and is a follower of Hindu tradition. Sessions will meet Wednesdays from 10-11:30 am from October 2 through November 27 (no class on October 9).
