Certificate in Spiritual Foundations of Indian Culture (C-SFIC)

According to Sri Aurobindo, spirituality is the master-key of Indian culture because the Indian spirit saw since the beginning of its cultural development that the material, vital, and mental aspects of life do not get their full meaning until they are rightly related to the spiritual reality. This 16-week-long certificate programme will provide learners a broad overview of spiritual foundations of Indian culture. The learners will also have an opportunity to engage in cross-cultural study and analysis.

In addition to the main text, Sri Aurobindo's The Renaissance in India and Other Essays on Indian Culture, the reading material also includes several articles and selections from other relevant books. Learners will be required to present critical summaries of assigned readings and incorporate their personal observations and reflections in their written assignments.
