Discover the Depths of Dharma with The Mahabharata Certificate

The Mahabharata is far more than a mythological epic—it is a profound exploration of ethics, philosophy, and the human journey. Offered by the Hindu University of America, The Mahabharata Certificate program is designed for those who seek to bridge cultural familiarity with deep academic and spiritual understanding. With no prior knowledge required, students explore the epic’s narratives, characters, and timeless wisdom in translation.

The program combines core courses on the Mahabharata with electives like the Bhagavad Gita and the West or Mahabharata Textual Criticism. It encourages learners to engage with interdisciplinary methods—from narratology to theology—building a well-rounded comprehension of the epic's impact on Hindu thought and global culture. Join this intellectual and spiritual voyage and gain insight into classical Hindu values relevant even today.
