Jijith Nadumuri Ravi, an esteemed academic, writer, and former ISRO space scientist, will lead the course, which will commence on April 22, 2023.

This weekly online programme will examine the historical and geographical aspects of Rigveda and the Vedic people.

Students will have the opportunity to investigate the ancient understanding of Vedic civilization and culture, as well as obtain insights into numerous unresolved questions about the Vedic worldview.

Jijith Nadumuri Ravi, Former ISRO Scientist "The majority of people's impressions of Rigveda are formed by secondary information, and they rarely delve deeply into the Rigvedic verses." This is a geographical tour within Rigveda, guided by the Rigvedic rivers."
