Although Yoga is now practiced worldwide, academic study of Yoga Shastra and many other Indian knowledge systems of health, arts, linguistics, classics, mathematics, sciences, philosophies, and other disciplines are waiting to be explored.

The aim is to provide students a learning experience that would excite and enthuse them.The focus is on experiencing, learning, self-reflection and self-discovery by freeing themselves from the traditional ways of looking at things and instead to constantly question and challenge themselves, society and the world at large. The purpose is to give the country and the young generation an academic institution that fires the imagination of students to discover the magic and passion in themselves, to foster their creativity, to propel their innovativeness and determination to create, build and shape new enterprises.

STUDENT PROJECTS

The India Centre promotes immersive journeys for students to cultural landmarks, which help them gain a deeper understanding of Jainism and Indian Philosophy through first-hand experiences. These excursions provide a unique opportunity for students to engage with India's rich heritage, visit sacred sites, interact with artists and artisan communities, and explore the socio-economic, religious, and ecological contexts that shape these traditions. The Centre's emphasis on experiential learning encourages students to break free from traditional perspectives, fostering a spirit of inquiry as they delve into the rich historical and philosophical landscapes. These on-site experiences not only enrich their projects but also cultivate a profound connection between theoretical knowledge and the vibrant realities of India's cultural tapestry.
