A learning offering by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and Bṛhat Educational Trust. The program is designed to instill a deep-rooted connection with the Indic heritage while imbibing students with the discerning spirit of Dharma Dṛṣṭi.
It aims to develop in the mind four sets of intelligences: spiritual, cognitive, socio-cultural and political. The learners will traverse through the works of luminaries such as Sitaram Goel, Ram Swarup, Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda, A.K. Saran, etc. among others. Temple visits help connect with the sacred and spiritual dimensions of the civilization.
Through reflective and continuous learning, internships and specialized workshops, participants will be able to locate their civilizational heritage within a rapidly evolving world, thereby becoming torchbearers and effective contributors.
