Indian Knowledge Traditions (<\/strong>Bh\u0101rat\u012bya J\u00f1\u0101na Parampar\u0101)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The relevance of Indian Knowledge Tradition lies in its ability to think out and beyond without any fetters. The rich tradition of acquisition maintenance and transmission of knowledge without any hindrance is the basis of the san\u0101tana-dharma<\/em>. That makes our premise. The ability to contemplate and analyze, in critical or otherwise, in a manner that aligns the mind, body, and soul in the reason of the relevance and strength of Indian Knowledge tradition. The wheel of Indian thought has run, imbibing along the way, the principle of evolving around\u00a0de\u015ba<\/em>, <\/em>k\u0101la<\/em>, <\/em>and p\u0101tra<\/em>. Ideas resurface, not essentially in a copied form but in a more formidable and advanced manifestation. The need to communicate the expositions in a manner of not showcasing one’s ability but the capacity of the person\u2019s intake sets the tone of invincibility of Indian Knowledge Tradition. A Post-Graduate Diploma in Indian Knowledge traditions will fulfill this objective.<\/p>\n
