Guru Online Weekend School

Guru in Hindu traditions
August 18 2022

Enrolments are now open for our newest Online Weekend School – The Guru in Hindu Traditions.

The word “guru” is thrown around a lot, often ironically, sometimes for comic effect.

This makes it the type of misunderstood topic that our tutors aim to make sense of – historically, in current usage, and in a way that may make it relevant to daily life and practice.

As with so much in Hinduism, “guru” means a lot of different things to different traditions. He/she/it/they can be understood as divine, semi-divine, wholly human, or even non-human.

We have Dr Sutton and a team of scholars to help understand:

  • Is the guru divine?
  • Can I have more than one guru?
  • What forms can a guru take?
  • What do the texts say?
  • Is there a role for gurus in daily life?

The weekend school will take place on 3–4 September 2022.

Many OCHS Weekend Schools can be accessed after the event as a Lecture Series.
