Program Syllabus
Paper 1 – Sanskrit Bhasha Parichay
Sanskrit is Mother of all the languages. Ancient literature, ancient scripts are in Sanskrit language. Sanskrit language is the foundation of all the IKS fields, therefore learning Sanskrit language is the necessity to have better understanding and Research oriented study of IKS. The Paper is designed with the objective to provide the learner an overview of Sanskrit Bhasha. The scope of this Paper is very large that it is not possible to cover it in detail, but with an overview and further detailed study, the learner can interpret the Sanskrit text.
Paper 2 – Indian Political, Economical and Sociological Thoughts
Indian Political thought has been influenced by many thinkers. For a proper understanding of the Indian Political and Economical theories and Sociological thoughts, it is essential to study the ideas and philosophies of prominent political thinkers of the past that influence modern political thoughts. This Paper will provide the learners an insight into the manner in which these ideas were adopted and implemented by those thinkers.
Paper 3 – Kautilya in Historical Perspective
Kautilya is an important historical personality. He not just wrote a great and still relevant masterpiece namely Arthashastra, but he lived the Arthashastra. He created a king, an empire and set the tone of history for centuries tocome. This historical perspective of Kautilya, his role in overthrowing Dhanananda, his oath, his ambition for bringing and expanding Dharmarajya, through Chandragupta Maurya is to be seen. The chronology of Indian history needs to be corrected first to place him in right time and reassert that he lived centuries before Alexanders time.
Paper 4 – Idea of Hindu King and Kingship
In Indian Culture, King and Kingship, are not like western Idea of Monarch and Monarchy. He is more as a protector and perpetuator of Dharma – the Cosmic law governing universe which is reinterpreted to make a socioeconomic law of the land. Dharma or Righteousness rules not the king. His powers are kept in check by higher spiritual laws and his training and conduct is governed by this principle of material progress and spiritual growth of all and selfless renunciation of all comforts and pleasures for the sake of the people in his kingdom.
Paper 5 – Kautilya's Organization System
Kautilya’s Organization system is typically Indian ie Organic system : It has Seven Elements (Prakritis) 1. The Swami, the sovereign King ; 2. The Mantrin, the ministers; 3. The Janapada, the people and the territory; 4. The Durga, the fortification; 5. The Kosha, the treasury; 6. The Sena or the Danda, the army; 7. The Mitra, the allies.
Paper 6 – Kautilya's Law and Order
Universal protection of human rights; laws that are implemented in a non- discriminatory manner; an efficient, impartial, and quick judicial system; transparent public agencies and official decision-making; accountability for decisions made about public issues and resources by public officials; participation and inclusion of all citizens in debating public policies and choices is summed up as good governance. Sources of Law were • Dharma (cannon law), Vyavahara (customary law), Samstha (usages) and Rajashasana (logical principles)
Paper 7 – Kautilya's Administration system
The crystallization of sovereignty in the king‟s court and also in the metropolitan centers, if not in the peripheral tribal republics. The existence of 16 Mahajanapadas as a proof of state-formation during Mauryan Empire. Overriding authority of the king's decree over all other judicial functions. Sovereignty appeared to be imbibed in monarch, the Swami.
Paper 8 – Kautilya's Welfare State
The king was expected to ensure the Welfare : Yogakshema of the subjects and was also authorized to act at once, as Indra and Yama acted, while dispensing rewards and punishment.
Yogakshema denoted : Yoga (addition to or furtherance of, and not the depletion of, all resources) and Kshema (well utilization of resources) in all human pursuits. Yoga and Kshema were considered the sources of exertion and peaceful possession respectively.

Paper 9 – Study of Dharma
Dharma – the Cosmic law governing universe which is reinterpreted to make a socioeconomic law of the land. Dharma or Righteousness rules not the king. Material prosperity was never considered as an end in itself, instead it was believed that material provisions are essential and it is the duty of state to ensure this. A policy of minimum state-welfare, leaving the individual to maximum of self-help. The state only confined to help the helpless. It involves the well-being of the poorest of the poor.
Paper 10 – Kautilyan Economic System (Finance)
Kautilya believed that the state should be the market regulator and advocated the principle of a mixed economy when India was ruled by autocrats. He was meticulous in technique of controlling every activity and insisted on governance for the betterment of public. Though individual merchants were free to contribute they also had to comply with the rules and regulations set by the state and authorities appointed by the state.
Paper 11 – Kautilya's Rajmandal
The Rajamandala means "circle of kings"; मण्डल, mandala is a Sanskrit word which means "circle" or an intricate pattern in a circle.Kautilya describes circles of friendly and enemy states which can be surrounding the king's (raja) state. This is also known as Mandala theory of foreign policy or Mandala theory, and it is one of the most important postulations regarding statecraft, administration, strategies and foreign policy by Kautilya which is still very relevant.
Paper 12 – Kautilya's Foreign Affairs
Kautilya provides a great guide regarding the approach of the current Indian regime’s foreign policy. India’s foreign policy clearly shows the reflection of Kautilyan notion of foreign policy.His Mandal Siddhant and Shadgunya Siddhant are very well thought and timeless insights in foreign affairs of any nation.
Paper 13 – Kautilya's Strategic Policy
To develop policies, standards, system, and processes that implement these strategies : The cycle is : ‘Recruitment and selection. Organizational design and development. Business transformation and change management. Performance, Arthashastra encouraged profitable trading especially with strategic nations. Kautilya emphasized on the importance of using trade to create alliances with strong nations. Kautilya insisted in creation of towns and villages at strategic places with commercial areas and trade zones.
Paper 14 – Kautilya's Spy System
Kautilya's Spy System proposed a detailed hierarchical network for an espionage system. The ancient Indian espionage system was so detailed and practical that it remains a source of inspiration till today. As per him, there are many types of Spy like Baahya (external) and Aabhyantar (internal) Spies, Five institutions (Sansthas) of espionage, Kaapatika-chhaatra (working under the guise of a fraudulent disciple); Udaasthita (a sham ascetic who has fallen from the real duties of asceticism); Grihapatika (a householder spy); Vaidehaka (a merchant spy); and Taapasa (a spy under the guise of ascetic practicing austerity.
Paper 15 – Comparative Study of Kautilya and Western Political Thinkers
Kautilya was a great politician of ancient India. His views on statehood, power, economics and social affairs have influenced the whole of India. Kautilya's work is very great, and it is national. That is why he is constantly compared to Western Greek as well as European thinkers. In this paper we will compare Kautilya's thoughts with the works of Aristotle, Plato, Machiavelli etc. A comparative study of the similarities and differences in their views based on the test of time is going to be done here.
Paper 16 – Tantrayukti
Acharyas like Charak, Sushrut, Prabhriti have followed some signs while composing their texts. Without taking those signs into consideration these texts cannot be studied properly. The signs are known by - tantrayukti. Tantrayukti is the trick or secret to obtain the precise knowledge of the Granth. Tantrayukti was considered important from the time of Acharya Charak. Acharya Charak says - "Without proper introduction of these tricks, scriptures cannot be understood properly. With it’s proficiency, other scriptures can also be understood quickly without much efforts, but without these tricks, it is tough to study the scriptures. Their secret remains inaccessible. Without the introduction of tantra techniques, acquired or practiced scriptures are like an unaccustomed weapon. Instead of benefit, it only causes harm. A symptomatic discussion of these important mechanisms will be done in this paper.

Ans. :- Masters Programs offered by Bhishma School of Indian Knowledge System will be useful for all age groups and all sectors of the society. Let us understand that as per the New National Educational Policy, there will be revolution and radical change in the education system in India. Now every UG & PG student has to acquire minimum of 5 % credits from IKS out of the total credits required for achieving total credits for a degree. Apart from this, central government is trying to apply all indigenous, ancient and traditional Indian models based on Indian Knowledge System in every field and every sector of the society, social life, governance, trade, commerce, agriculture, education, health sector, etc. At the other end, we experience that the so called modern western models are getting defeated and failed around us. E.g. Allopathy does not have solutions for many ultra-modern diseases and Ayurveda has a deep sense preventive health. Another example is multinational companies mislead Indian population about the quality of food and drugs. Pantanjali and Ramdev Baba have created examples which are beneficial not only for Indians but for the whole world. Let us understand that the whole country as a whole is getting ready for revival and transformation as ancient traditional glorious India. People with any age group working in any field can join Masters Programs and convert the knowledge into an opportunity in the next few decades. They will be the change leaders and lead the change happening around us. So you may be working in any government organization, teacher, professor, doctor, lawyer, CA, engineer, architect or graduate degree holder in any field you can think about Masters Programs as a supportive or alternative career. It will enlighten you at the individual level and also will help you to create a change in society in a professional way.
32. What are the Global Opportunities from these Masters Programs offered by Bhishma School of Indian Knowledge System ?
Ans. :- Let us understand and accept that due to the respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and his governance, India has achieved global pride and salutation.
