Bodha Academy
Training scholars in Indic research methodology and anthropology. Introducing the highest Hindu ideas and traditions to the next generation.
Modern fault lines in Hindu society stem from a clash of identities created and amplified during the colonial era through academia and allied institutions. We want to correct this through field studies that decolonize research methodology — arriving at a genuinely Indic lens of inquiry.
This is not possible without creating a line of scholars capable of carrying this work forward, to the next decade and beyond to the next generation.
That is the purpose of Bodha Academy.

Introduction to Shri Ram Swarup
Shri Ram Swarup was one of the greatest Hindu thinkers to come out of India in the last century. This course is an introduction to his works and thoughts, leading learners to a better understanding of Bharatavarsha, Sanatana Dharma, and our place in the scheme of things.

Ancient Indian History
The unique story of a culture is captured in its history. But the arbiters of historiography have labeled every culture apart from their own as myth and legend. This course will explore the obfuscated history of Bhāratavarṣa in the light of the Purāṇas, and advance the case for writing and living the true history of this land.
