Welcome, esteemed students. Today marks the beginning of our exploration into the vibrant, complex, and often enigmatic world of religion. In this introductory lecture, I want to lay a foundation that underscores why the study of religion is not merely an academic pursuit, but a critical endeavor for anyone seeking to understand the human condition.

At its core, religion is a fundamental aspect of human experience. From the cave paintings of our ancestors to the soaring cathedrals of Europe, from the ancient Vedas to the modern-day mosques, religion has consistently manifested itself across cultures and time periods. It is woven into the very fabric of human society, shaping art, literature, law, and social structures in ways that are both profound and pervasive.
