American University Teaches Bhagwad Gita Bhagwad Gita has become compulsory for every student joining Seton Hall University in New Jersey, 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 course that will influence the character and life of students. So it wanted a course that seeks answers to perennial questions like the purpose of life, why are we here, where are we going in "The journey of transformation" One third of Seton Halls more than 10,800 students are non-Christians. It has significant number of Indian students. This is a core course for all students. This is secularism. Whether Indian universities will take a lesson from this ?
