1. Introduction to Sanātana Dharma

1. Introduction to Hinduism - Concepts of Dharma (Dharma Prakaranam). This is the first session of Vedic learning. In this session, we tried to provide a bird eye view of Core Hindu Concepts. The Key concepts which we covered are - Dharma, Karma, Veda, Īśvara, Yajña, Adyātmika and Adidaivika Karma and some associated topics. As the Concepts are very complex and vast in nature, we tried to address the key concepts and in a over simplified way.
