About the course

Worshipping deities is an ancient tradition within the Hindu faith.

But why is it performed?

Is it just idol worship that is based on symbolic representations?

Or has it become an empty cultural ritual that is performed just because it is what ancient Hindus have followed for millennia? 

 

"Idol or ideal worship" is a short course designed to debunk some of the myths surrounding this integral practice of Hinduism and give you the proper philosophical understanding. Join us as we dive into this ancient spiritual science and understand the real meaning and purpose behind deity worship as revealed in the ancient Vedic texts.

What do our students think?

Hetal

I really enjoyed this course, it was clear and loved how it is informal and interactive, the course gave me thorough understanding of Deity worship I had not had before. 

Rohit

We are always taught we pray and offer our respects to deities, but how we offer these prayers and why is never taught to us. This course clarifies all misconceptions and it answered so many unanswered questions.

Leena

I loved how the course is taught, real life scenarios and a very interactive course which allowed me to get a better understanding of the topic.
