This is a 3-unit course. The word ‘Veda’ means knowledge; hence primarily they are a chief source of Indian religion and culture along with the roots of various studies such as Medicine, Astronomy, Philosophy, Botany, Social Sciences, Fine Arts, among others, that are easily traceable in the Vedic literature. Vedic seers expressed their divine experiences and vision of truth in Vedas; so, this holds unique significance for the entire mankind. In present times, Art of Living is very popular, and people are rushing towards it to live life according to some pre-defined principles of life but many of us are hardly aware that these principles are well spoken or written by great Vedic sages in our ancient scriptures. We all have forgotten that ‘Personality Development’ is the development process to enhance one’s personality and attitude through organized thought and behavior patterns that make up a person's unique personality emerge over time. All this is systematically inherited by us, as these are deeply rooted in our ancient Indian traditions.
