1 The Chinese University of Hong Kong Department of Cultural and Religious Studies Hindu Visions of Divinity RELS5312 Spring Term MA Course Lecturer: Dr. Ithamar Theodor Lecture: Thursday 7:00-9:30 pm. Classroom: HYS Course Description According to the Hindu worldview, the divine manifests itself within nature and is accessible to human experience. As such, it is no surprise that Hinduism is famous for its immanent visions of divinity and for its rich mystical manifestations. The sacred Vedic Hymns are considered divine and non human; the Upanishads offer a mystical vision of all pervading spirituality; the divine appears in a concrete form named murti, or an image made of wood, stone or clay or other materials, and the divine is tasted through poetry. Considering all these mystical manifestations, it is no surprise that the 19 th c. Indian national movement adopted some of these symbols in divinizing the notion of the nation. The course will engage with these and other visions of divinity in the Hindu tradition. 2. Course Content Topic 1. The Sacred Sound Chanting the Supreme through the Vedic Hymns 2. Yoga climbing a ladder of consciousness 3. Brahman Realizing the Supreme as Impersonal 4. Supersoul The Lord in the Heart as the companion 5.

Learning Outcomes The purpose of this course is to invite students to consider questions of social, cultural, and personal identity and alterity through the lens of Indian traditions of philosophical, religious, and cultural reflection, action and representation. Having seriously engaged with the course students can expect to have: A basic acquaintance with social and cultural identity theory and Indian perspectives on identifiers such as gender and class, as well as perspectives on the nature of the self in transition through life-stages. A basic ability to think empathetically with Indian traditions of negotiating identity and difference as multifarious ways of being human. A basic competence in reading, listening, speaking and writing about the topics treated in the course. After completing this course, students will have achieved a basic understanding of ideas about the self and identity in Indian culture from an indigenous perspective, and an in-depth insight into the teachings on the self of one particular school of Indian thought. You will have had an opportunity to engage in some simple, practical selfrealization practices, and hopefully will have obtained some insights into your own self-understanding. You will also have learned how Western scholarship views this same material from a historical and critical point of view. 4. Learning Activities The course will consist of weekly lectures and discussion session, both for which attendance is required. There will be assigned readings each week, from which students will be expected to prepare questions for discussion. If time and scheduling allows, we will also have some film-viewing, also as the basis for discussions and possibly short writing assignments. 5. Assessment The class will meet for three periods each week, on Thursdays. The double period will be used for lectures and discussion, and the single period will be for discussion and presentations. Students are required to participate in both lectures and discussions.
3 There will be three (3) short writing assignments of circa 1500 words each, based on some of the readings (25% each = 75%); and students will give one oral presentation based on assigned readings and a short written report based on the presentation (together - 25%). More details on these assignments will be provided in due course of time. 6. Learning Resources Excerpts and articles from the following list will be assigned from week to week for reading. (Some entries are books, from which excerpts or articles will be drawn; some entries are articles. It s a rather long list, but not all students will be reading all the same selections; and we may also make use of other selections not included in this list). 7. Feedback for Evaluation Students will be encouraged to communicate their evaluations of the course, especially as this is part of a completely new development of Indian studies at CUHK. Details of how evaluations can be communicated will be given during the course. 8.
