Course on Sankhya and Advaita Vedanta Philosophy

[Paras Mehta]

Dear all, 
Namaste, 

I wish to inform you about a course that I plan to start. 
It is a course on the basics of Sankhya philosophy and quite an in-depth understanding of Advaita Vedanta philosophy.

The topics are as follows:

Basics of Sankhya Philosophy

General Introduction to Sankhya Philosophy

Purusha and Prakrti in Sankhya "

Cosmic Creation in Sankhya "

"Effect in Cause" principle in Sankhya 

Means of Knowing acc. to Advaita Vedanta
Pratyaksa Knowledge

Means (Pramana) of Pratyaksa knowledge

Types of Pratyaksa Pramana

Anumana and Upamana Pramanas

Shabda Pramana

Arthapatti and Anupalabdhi Pramana

Adhyasa (Superimposition) in Advaita Vedanta

Brahman
Maya

Characteristics of Adhyasa

Cause of Adhyasa

Cosmic Creation

Cosmic Destruction

Other Topics in Advaita Vedanta

Three conditions of the jiva

The Five Coverings (Kosha) of the jiva

Meaning of the Four Great Statements (Maha-vakyas) of the Upanisads

Understanding the Maha-vakyas

Means to attain Mukti (Liberation)

Samadhi 

Constituents of Samadhi and Obstacles in achieving it

Mukti

This course is based on the syllabus of the two-part Sanskrit book "Bharatiya Darshan", a class 12 book of the National Institute of Open Learning (NIOS). Although the syllabus is for class 12 students of NIOS, it is at par with the syllabus of postgraduate students at many other places.

I am planning to have the classes twice a week. I have not yet decided on the days and timing. 
In my estimation, the course will take 95 to 100 classes of one hour each to be completed.
The fees for the course will be decided once we have a group of genuinely interested students.

I request you kindly forward this message to your contacts.
