Course Description
The Long Term Certificate Courses (LCC, for a tenure of 9 months) are offered by the Bhaktivedanta Institute for those who wish to have slower yet steady training in the vast subject of science-spirituality and gradually become adept in the subject for furthering the research and educational front. The course content is equivalent to one semester (40 classes) of science-spirituality education and those who study the course can design their own curriculum.
The Long Term Certificate Course on the Distinction of Human Life aims to enhance the philosophical and spiritual foundations of a person based on the vast knowledge elucidated in Bhagavad Gita. The strength of the course is to envisage upon realizing spirituality as the most subjective paradigm of the perfection targeted human thought process.
The course aims to fulfill the fundamental mandate of the Bhaktivedanta Institute i.e., to achieve a distinction of human life through the confluence or synthesis of science and spirituality. Deeper explorations of science ensures upon the need for a philosophical analysis and this will be elaborated in both foundations of science and spirituality (FSS) and nature of reality courses (NR). However, a mere analysis based on philosophical contemplation supported reasoning is not enough. Human quest shall enter the next orbit of excellence i.e., to seek answers for the most fundamental questions associated to the meaning and purpose of life.
Associated perplexities in scientific and philosophical dimensions will be addressed in the Certificate Course entitled Philosophical Excellence (PHILEX). Hence, the LCC on DOHL entails three courses namely FSS, NR and PHILEX. Those who wish to study this course must have an urge to enhance philosophical worldview, philosophical analysis, spiritual foundations, Vedanta and their synthesis for the answer to the most fundamental quest of human existence namely the ultimate meaning and purpose of life. Thus, the course aims to enhance inner transformation that facilitates harmonizing the self with inner peace based on the synthesis paradigm advocated in the Vedanta and its rich philosophical treatise.
