CONSCIOUSNESS STUDIES
The Indian Mind:
Philosophy, Consciousness, and
the Wisdom Traditions
Learn to explore the Indian philosophical tradition through four landmark wisdom traditions unified by one radical idea: consciousness is not a product of the world; it is its very source.
This program traces the full arc — from the Vedic vision of a conscious cosmos, through the Upanishadic inquiry into self, the Gita's philosophy of conscious action, and Yoga as the science of consciousness — giving you a rigorous and transformative foundation in Indian philosophy.
