"Hinduism is a religion of deep history and complex spirituality, with unique
philosophical and metaphysical components that are typically explored only on
a surface level in Western analysis of religion. Almeda University is proud to
fill this disconcerting void by offering a Ph.D. in Hinduism that provides a deep
analysis of its historical significance and evolution, core beliefs, cultural
impact, worship rituals, and contemporary practice". It further says: "Almeda
graduates will go beyond the basic concepts of karma and varnashrama-dharma by
diligently examining the Vedic materials, cycles of life, intense philosophic
speculation evidenced in the Upanishads, devas of the cosmos, and how principles
of Hinduism are adopted in the Eastern and Western world". Distinguished Hindu
statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, urged major universities
of the world to launch research and doctorate programs on Hinduism Rajan Zed,
who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that Hinduism
being the oldest religion with a rich philosophical thought and a vast array of
scriptures needed more exploration. Launched in 1997, Almeda University is an
online institute that awards doctorate degrees in business and theology besides
various master, bachelor and associate degrees, online worldwide except Cuba ,
Iran , Libya , North Korea , and Sudan.
