Why this course?

Description

This course is initiated as a part of the IKS Awareness Program for School Children Project.
A student focused Indian Knowledge Systems awareness program through a structured journey across the pancha koshas—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya–Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya, a living gateways to Bhāratiya wisdom.
This course treats IKS not as a relic of the past but as a vibrant way of seeing, knowing, and being, where every domain—food, rivers, temples, arts, governance, language, mathematics, and spirituality—is interconnected and rooted in a deeper vision of dharma, puruṣārtha, and inner evolution.

Course Overview

Across 30+ modules, learners will explore themes ranging from “Our Sacred Geography” and “Mandir: The Center of Knowledge” to “Bhaya, Kāma, Āhāra, Nidrā”, “Gaṇita–Jyotiṣa–Rituchakra”, “Nīti–Dharma–Ritam”, and “Ṛṣi–Upaniṣad–Ānanda”, discovering how each theme expresses a unified worldview that integrates body, life-force, mind, intellect, and bliss.

Through immersive lectures, text-based reflections, contemplative exercises, and creative activities, participants learn to see Indian geography, arts, rituals, and daily habits as doorways to inner refinement, social harmony, and spiritual realisation. Esteemed teachers, including scholars like Prof. Sampadananda Mishra, will guide learners through these journeys with depth and sensitivity.

What this course covers

The course is organised into clusters aligned with the kosha framework, allowing participants to experience IKS as a gradual expansion from the outer to the inner layers of consciousness.

Annamaya: Bharata as Sacred Geography

  • Our Sacred Geography: Nadi, hrad, samudra, vana, udbhida, kṣetra, parvata, paśu–pakṣi—exploring the physical landscape of Bharat as a sacred, living organism rather than a mere map.
  • Mandir–Kala–Śilpa: Temples as centers of knowledge, art, architecture, and community, with their śāstric foundations and symbolic design.
  • Rāja Vaṃśa (Itihāsa): Introduction to major dynasties of Bharat and how political history reflects deeper civilisational ideals.
  • Krīḍā, Yuddha-kalā & Yoga, Krishi: Traditional games, martial arts, yoga, and agriculture as vehicles of character-building, ecological balance, and dharmic living.
Prāṇamaya: The Energies that Shape Life

Higher Prāṇamaya modules focus on Bharatiyata, puruṣārtha, rasa, and creativity:
  • Bharatiyata & Puruṣārtha: Discovering identity and the fourfold goals of life—dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa—as a compass for living meaningfully.
  • Rasa–Sahitya, Kavita–Chanda, Sangīta, Nritya, Bhāva & Abhinaya: The arts as vehicles of emotional refinement, joy, and inner harmony, from Tāṇḍava to Lāsya and from poetic metre to musicality.

    Lower Prāṇamaya modules turn to emotions and instincts:
  • Bhaya, Ālasya, Kāma, Kṣobha: Understanding fear, lethargy, desire, and anger, and transforming them into forces for growth rather than bondage.
  • Āhāra & Nidrā: “You are what you eat” and “From sleep to awakening” as practical keys to health, clarity, and sādhanā.
Manomaya–Vijñānamaya: Mind and Reason
  • Bhāṣā: The ways of speech—how language shapes thought, relationship, and reality in the Indian vision.
  • Gaṇita–Jyotiṣa–Rituchakra: Mathematics, astronomy/astrology, and cycles of time as expressions of a cosmic, rhythmic order.
  • Sādhana: The many paths of inner union and disciplined practice, connecting daily life with transcendence.
  • Nīti–Dharma–Ritam, Daṇḍa: Ethics, duty, cosmic order, and instruments of social regulation as tools for sustaining a dharmic society.
  • Viveka–cit–ahaṃkāra–buddhi: Inner engineering of discrimination, consciousness, ego, and intellect.
Ānandamaya: Bliss, purpose, and transcendence
  • Ānandamaya–Vijñāna: Moving from the seen to the unseen—understanding subtle experience and the nature of bliss.
  • Ātma: “Know yourself!” as the heart of all Indian Knowledge Systems.
  • Sukha–Prayojana: From purpose to happiness—how true fulfillment is understood in Indic thought.
  • Śraddhā–Īśvara–Guru: The steps of realisation through faith, the Divine, and the guiding presence of the Guru.
  • Karma–Gītā–Veda: Walking the Vedic path through action, wisdom, and devotion.
  • Ṛṣi–Upaniṣad–Ānanda: The seer, the revelatory texts, and the experience of bliss as the culmination of IKS.
