Rigveda is considered the most ancient literature of humankind and is one of the fundamental texts of the ancient rishis who dedicated their lives to the welfare of the world. The Vedas played a significant role in laying the foundation of the great Indian civilization. The proponents of the Vedas have been subject to various theories, with some speculating them to be indigenous to India, while others suggest they were migrants or even invaders from the middle-eastern regions of Asia. However, most of these arguments lack credible primary sources and are mere conjecture. To address this, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is offering a free online course that examines geographical information from the primary source, Rigveda. This course will be curated by Sri Jijith Nadumuri Ravi, a distinguished academic, writer, and former ISRO space scientist.
Total 35 sessions / modules. Each online session / module can be 30 to 45 minutes of duration done over the weekends, spanning 35 weeks. This can be a 6 month course or 1 year course
