Indic Knowledge Systems - 2

As human beings march in their journey towards progress, through newer developments, they need to be guided by a core set of ideals and principle of living. In today’s context, these paradigms of living are stemming from recent ideas originating from the western world. While we have been making progress there is also a wide-spread understanding that for every new solution and idea that we discover, we introduce more and more challenges and problems arising out of them. Therefore, this potentially raises the need to look for alternative paradigms for the emerging world order.  Indic Knowledge Systems (IKS) can potentially offer ideas for developing new paradigms for the world order. A knowledge of IKS is the first step in this process. The Chinmaya University addresses this requirement through a two-part foundational course. 


The topics covered in the two part course outline are broadly referred to as caturdaśa vidyāsthānam. This course outline covers one part of this knowledge tradition and the rest is covered in the first course. In this course the topics covered include Itihāsas, Smṛtis, and Darśaṇas. This is the second part of the IKS course.
