Hinduism is not an easy religion to decode - countless deities, many-armed, many-headed, with animal bodies or animal heads, dancing, playing on musical instruments, elaborate rituals, age old traditions and so much more to grapple with.

The endless complexities of it's expression can be confusing not just for westerners, but even for Indians who grew up with it.

Paramhansa Yogananda brought to the west the highest expression of Sanatan Dharma (eternal religion) as persevered for centuries in India, and gave us the gift of understanding and applying these lofty teachings.

In this online course, we will use Swami Kriyananda's book, "The Hindu way of Awakening" to explore and clarify the essential teachings of this great religion. We will also discuss commonly known symbols and images, and their true meaning and purpose.
