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 – Hindu Way of Life
There is no Hinduism as western scholars coined it while vainly trying to squeeze us in the western isms of sectarian religions and compartmentalized ideologies. There is no Hindu religion if by religion we mean a single book, prophet and set of fearing oppressive dictums. It’s rather a way of life: A continuously enlarging tradition of godward endeavor of human spirit. Its ideas of manifestation of Srushti or Universe, purpose of life, Divine and Infinite pervading everything and guiding it from in and out are the central ideas which have made this Hindu way and molded history of this sub continent since millenniums.
Paper 3 – Vedic Literature - 1
The term 'Vedic literature' simply means literature based on or derived from the Vedas. The texts which constitute the Vedic literature are: 1. The four Vedas i.e. Samhitas, 2. the Brahmanas attached to each of the Samhitas, 3. the Aranyakas, and 4. the Upanishads.Veda is the highest authority in Hindu knowledge system and the authority of all other scriptures are based on the authority of the Veda. Vedas are four - Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva. Rigveda contains prayers to Gods (Riks are the mantras). Yajurveda has methods to use Riks for sacrifices (Yajus-Yajna). Sama Veda introduces musical notes. Atharva Veda gives ways to make life successful, and contains methods to fulfill what can be called material aspirations. The Vedas are known by other epithets, each of which only signify their importance - Apta-Vachan ("Divine Revelation)", Nigama ("Revelation"), Samhitas ("Collection"), Savda-Brahm ("Word of Brahm") or just Shabda ("Word"), Shruti ("Revelation" or "Testimony"), and Stotra ("Hymns.")
An overview of four Vedas and four Upavedasis necessary to understand their essential thought.
Paper 4 – Vedic Literature - 2
The Upanishads normally appear in the last part of Aranyaka and deal with spiritual philosophy. Some Upanishads are exceptions and appear in Samhita and Brahmana too. Thus Upanishad, as it appears in the last part of the Veda, is called Vedanta. There are 108 Upanishads and 10 of them are famous. Since Upanishads mostly philosophical they are found in prose. But there are Upanishads like Taittireeya and Ganapathi Atharva Seersha that have svara.
An overview of The Upanishads, six Vedanga and major sutras form a very crux of Indian Knowledge System.
Paper 5 – Hindu History and Puranas
Puranas have been so far considered just as myths.However, it has far more significance in Indian history and culture. It gives chronology of different dynasties, kings, their times, it has complete details from cosmology to pilgrims, from geography to incarnations. Puranas thus have rich treasure of history of India especially her early history, though one needs to understand how to peel it off the outer veil of stories and symbols and enjoy its sweetness at the core.
Paper 6 – Ramayana
Ramayana and Mahabharat are not just epics, mahakavyas of India, they in fact represent the entire soul and cultural history of India. They have deep impact on the psyche of every India. Maharishi Valmiki, narrates the life of Rama, a legendary prince of Ayodhya city in Ramayana After his fourteen-year exile to the forest with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, till kidnapping of Seeta, Killing of Ravana and Rama's eventual return to Ayodhya is this story. Ramayana is one of the largest ancient epics in world literature. It consists of nearly 24,000 verses.
Paper 7 – Mahabharata
Mahabharata is like many layers, many chambered complex palace, perhaps like its own described Mayasabha. It narrates the story of the Kaurava and the Pāṇḍava and the role played by the Divine AvataraSrikrishna in this struggle. As a philosophical and devotional material, it has many akkhayana or stories like that of Damayanti, the story of Shakuntala, the story of Pururava and Urvashi, the story of Savitri and Satyavan, the story of Kacha and Devayani, the story of Rishyasringa and even an abbreviated version of the Rāmāyaṇa. It is said that Mahabharat in fact is entire thought, efforts, penance and learning of India.
Paper 8 – Hindu Civilization
The fact that Hindu way of life was not just a great philosophical thought, a pinnacle of human emotion and action, but was rather a conscious and concrete attempt of bringing all that great thought and idea into real life makes it unique human achievement and in that course Hindu Civilization means her external expression of spiritual ideal in sociology, polity, economy, administration and relation with other people, races, continents and perhaps even with other worlds makes it an unparalleled and unbroken experiment as never before.

Paper 12 – Hindu Rituals and Sanskaras
The Samskaras Provide a Framework to Human life. Hindu life is wovwnnealy by sixteen samskaras from the time jeeva is in womb of mother to the time when soul leaves body and the offerings are done to the forefathers.

Samskaras are providing meaning, structure, purpose and order to human life.
Paper 13 – Hindu Classical Literature
Among classical literature of India, Kalidas, Bhas, Bhavbhuti,
Kālidāsa are shining not just in Indian literature but even world literature. AbhidnyanShakuntalam(अभिज्ञानशाकुन्तलम्), Kumarsambhav, Raghuvasham, and Meghaduuta by Mahakavi Kalidas are immortal Sanskrit plays. Mricchakatika by Shudraka, SvapnaVasavadattam, Urubhangam by Bhasa, and Ratnavali by Sri Harsha or Gita Govinda by Jayadeva cannot be forgotten. The originality of idea, skilled craftsmanship of plot, overflowing charm and beauty of imagination and forms, and startling insights in human psychology make them still very relevant for humanity.
Paper 14 – Vāda Paramparā
Ancient Hindu Knowledge Systems were based on the strong grounds of argumentations and dialectics. Conflicting thought processes clashed with each other through debates and discussions and knowledge based on the foundation of logic triumphed. There was open-ness in accepting the co-existence of complimentary and contradictory thoughts and principles.
Paper 15 – Hindu Social and Education System
Hindu social system has a unique concept of life as an opportunity to pay back the debt of your gods, parents and teachers (Run sakalpnaa) It is of four ashrams, four purusharthas and four types of human natures making three layers in a matrix and provide a very unique, nowhere else attempted social system for realizing the ultimate aim of human life.
Hindu Educational system is in fact another expression of Hindu soul or Chiti. From prenatal stage i.e. even before a child is born his or her education starts and it continues till last breath. It used to be education at body, vital, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels, a holistic integral model of human excellence, through self-experience and exploration apart from learning through words of masters.
Paper 16 – Hindu Temples, Culture and Traditions
Hindu culture is ideas that govern Hindu life. It has Antarang which comprises of its values, ideas, central themes and beliefs, literature, philosophy and psychology. Its Bahirang comprises of rituals, festivals, system, institutions, social, economic and political fabric. All this is woven with the thread of the Divine, firm faith in eventual evolution of each soul which is potentially divine.
Its not mass of information crammed in human brain that can sustain individual or society, its culture gives absorbs shocks, provides purpose and moulds minds to sustain them especially in the times of testing.
This rootedness in culture and tradition, firm in essence and ever changing in details, also explains the millenniums of history of India which remained alive in spite of thousands of attacks and calamities.

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.
