Dive into the Literary and Philosophical Depths of the Mahabharata - HUA
The Mahabharata is a complex literary and aesthetic work, spanning 18 major books filled with narrative action and contemplation. In addition to being an important source book of Indic culture—having influenced sculpture, painting, music, literature, drama and dance all over Asia—the philosophical and narrative arc of the Mahabharata presents a sophisticated and thorough analysis of the human condition. This certificate program systematically covers the text of the Sanskrit epic in translation.
Designed for individuals seeking a deeper knowledge of Indic tradition, it provides a bridge between an everyday cultural knowledge of characters and events in the epic and a learned appreciation of the text’s literary and philosophical project. Ritual, iconographic, literary and art-historical insights complement the philosophical appreciation of the epic. The goal is to lead the student on a voyage of discovery not only through one of the classics of world civilization, but also through the literary structure and profound philosophical rigor of the epic, to provide pluralistic avenues for cultural and self-discovery.
The Mahabharata certificate program embraces the ideal of global humanities which are distinctive not only for the breadth of their curriculum but also challenge nineteenth-century Eurocentric notions of “canon.” They seek to understand world cultures as living, mature, and continuing traditions on their own terms. Thus, we shall read the texts of the Indic tradition from literary, theological, and philosophical perspectives, rather than the privileged ethnological or historical mode, which has served to objectify and dehumanize the non-Western and non-Christian world.
