AMERICAN UNIVERSITY TEACHES BHAGWAD GITA Bhagwad Gita has become compulsory for every student joining Seton Hall university in NewJersey,USA.This is a catholic university founded in 1856. The faculty consists of Muslims,Buddhists,Jews in additions to Christians.The translation of Bhagwad Gita by Stephen Mitchell is the text.None of the teacher is Hindu. The university wanted a transformational course that will influence the character and life of the students.So it wanted a course that seeks answers perennial questions like the purpose of life, why are we here, where are we going"The journey of transformation" One third of Seton Halls more than 10,800 students are non- christians.Many non-catholic also study here.It has significant no of Indian students. This is a core course for all students, whatever the discipline. This is secularism.Whether Indian universities will take a lesson from this.?
