Religious & Cultural Traditions of India: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Judaism.
Explore the religious and cultural traditions of India. The focus is on the diverse understandings, experiences, and practices of "the sacred" in each of the traditions, from the diverse polytheism of Hindu devotionalism, to the ardent monotheism of Judaism, and Sikhism to the outright rejection of a creator God from the domain of the sacred in Buddhism and Jainism.
