What is divinity? Who created the universe? If God exists, why is there suffering? This course explores the nature of Ishvara, the intelligence behind creation, and our place in this vast cosmic design. Gain clarity on faith, spirituality, and the purpose of prayer as we uncover the deeper truths of existence.

Look around—the stars, the elements, and the intricate web of life all follow an incredible design. But who or what is behind it? If divinity is everywhere, why does suffering exist? And where do we fit into this grand cosmic puzzle?
