Program Syllabus
Paper 1 – Sanskrit Bhasha Parichay - 4 Credits
Sanskrit is the Mother of all languages. Ancient literature, ancient scripts are in the Sanskrit language. The Sanskrit language is the foundation of all the IKS fields; therefore, learning the Sanskrit language is a necessity to have a better understanding and research-oriented study of IKS. The Paper is designed with the objective to provide the learner with an overview of the Sanskrit Bhasha. The scope of this Paper is so 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 – Vedic People and Vedic Period - 4 Credits
Most of the western or westernized scholars have assumed an Aryan invasion and so put totally wrong chronology of Indian history, saying that the Vedic age was 1500. This is baseless and is absurd as per the new evidence. The Vedas were revealed at least 10000 years before the Common Era, or maybe more than that. The dating of Ramayana and Mahabharata by modern scientific tools helps to put the Vedas before those centuries. Vedic people were Arya, and again, Arya is not a race but a quality of the person. They were noble, truth lovers, bold, ready to go to death to explore truth, and fight till death to protect righteousness.
Paper 3 – Rigved - 4 Credits
The word ‘Veda’ means ‘knowledge’: the Sanskrit root ‘vid’ means ‘to know’. It does not refer to a single book or a single literary work. The term Rishi is defined as “rishatijnānenasamsāra-pāram,” meaning one who goes beyond the mundane world using knowledge. Also, the root ‘drish‘ (sight) might have given rise to the root ‘rish‘ meaning ‘to see’. The Rig Veda Samhita is a collection of 1,028 Suktas (hymns), divided into ten Mandalas (books). The total number of mantras is 10,462. Thus, the average number of mantras per hymn is ten. These hymns are as envisioned by various seers. Angirasa, Kanva, Vasistha, Atri, Bhrugu, Kashyap, Vishwamitra, Grutsamanda, Agastya and Bharata, are main rishis. From Nasadiyasukta, Gayatri mantra, eikyamantra, to several important sukta and mantras are here.
Paper 4 – Yajurveda - 4 Credits
The Yajurveda is broadly grouped into the "black" (Krishna) Yajurveda and the "white" or "bright" (Shukla) Yajurveda. It implies "the unarranged, unclear collection" of verses in contrast to the "well arranged, clear" Yajurveda. The most ancient layer of Yajurveda samhita includes 1,875 verses, The middle layer includes the Satapatha Brahmana, while the youngest layer of Yajurveda text includes the largest collection of primary Upanishads, the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the Isha Upanishad, the Taittiriya Upanishad, Katha Upanishad, etc. The various ritual mantras in the Yajurveda Samhitas are in a meter, and propitiate deities like the Savita (Sun), Indra, Agni, Prajapati, Rudra, and others.
Extra-Curricular Activities - 4 Credits
Paper 5 – Samaveda - 4 Credits
The Samaveda is shortest of all Vedas and the Samhita of the Samaveda has taken many verses, almost ninety percent, from the Samhita of Rigveda. Chiefly derived from the eighth and the ninth Mandalas of the Rigveda but Saamveda’s uniqueness is in adding meter and geyata or music to it. This addition made Vedic culture so lively and perpetual and was able to fathom the ultimate reality with more integrality. The Samaveda verses are all meant to be chanted at the ceremonies of the Soma-sacrifice.
Paper 6 – Atharvaveda - 4 Credits
Other names for the Atharvaveda are – Angirasaveda, Kshatraveda, Bhaishajyaveda, Chandoveda, Mahiveda etc. Atharvaveda had nine recessions or Shakhas, but the Samhita is today available only in two recessions – the Shaunaka and the Paippalada. It is the Shaunaka-Samhita that is usually meant when the Atharvaveda is mentioned in ancient and modern literature. It is a collection of 730 hymns containing 5987 Mantras, divided into 20 books (Kandas). Some 1200 verses are derived from the Rigveda. some Important and famous Suktas of Atharvaveda are listed to have a general view its subject:1. Bhumi-Sukta (12.1)2. Brahmacarya-Sukta (11.5)3. Kala-Suktas (11.53, 54)4. Vivaha-Sukta (14th Kanda)5. Madhuvidya-Sukta (9.1)6. Samanasya-Sukta (3.30)7. Rohita-Sukta (13.1-9)8. Skambha-Sukla (10.7)Atharvaveda is an encyclopedia of many subjects including philosophical, social, educational, political, agricultural, scientific and medical matters, etc.
Paper 7 – Rigveda Brahmana Granthas and Aranyakas, Atharvaveda Brahmana Granthas - 4 Credits
Apastamba defines Brahmanas as ‘KarmacodanaBrahmanani’ meaning Brahmanas are injunctions for the performance of sacrificial rites. According to him, these texts deal with the following six topics:VidhiArthavada , Ninda, Prashansha , Purakalpa and Parakriti.Vidhi means injunctions for the performance of particular rites.Arthavada comprises the numerous explanatory remarks on the meaning of Mantras and particular rites.Ninda or censure consists in criticism and, refutation of the opponents’ views.Prashansha means eulogy, recommendation.Purakalpa refers to the performance of sacrificial rites in former times.Parakriti means the achievements of others.The main subject of the Brahmanas is injunction (Vidhi), all other topics being subservient to it.
Paper 8 – Yajurveda and Samaveda Brahmana Granthas and Aranyakas - 4 Credits
Aranyakas are generally the concluding portions of the several Brahmanas, but on account of their distinct character, contents and language deserve to be reckoned as a distinct category of literature. They are partly included in the Brahmanas themselves, but partly they are recognized as independent works. Aranyaka literature is rather small as compared to the Brahmanas. Whereas the Brahmanas deal with the huge bulk of sacrificial paraphernalia which represents Karma-Kanda, the Aranyakas and Upanishads, on the other hand, chiefly deal with the philosophical and theosophical speculations which represent Jnana-Kanda.
Internship - 4 Credits
Paper 9 – Study of Dharma - 4 Credits
The Paper on Study of Dharma is being developed to make learner understand the concept of Dharma, “धारयति इति धर्म:। ”Dharma is not religion, Dharma many times misunderstood with Religion. Dharma is the way of living life. Dharma, Vedic Dharma, Hindu Dharma, Sanatan Dharma, Bharatiya Dharma are one and the same. Dharma is not only applicable to human being but it holds the entire Universe. Studying this Paper will make learner realize the true meaning of Dharma and its influence on every single entity in the Universe.
Paper 10 – Vedang - 4 Credits
The Vedangas are the last treatises of the Vedic Literature. Paniniya Shiksha (41-42) narrates two verses on the importance of the Vedangas which describe Veda as a Purusha having six limbs as six Vedangas: Chandas are His two feet, Kalpa are His two arms, Jyotisha are His eyes, Nirukta is His ears, Shiksha is His nose and Vyakarana is His mouth. One of the oldest record of their names occurs in the Mundaka Upanishad (1.1.5) where they are named as:
Shiksha or phonetics or pronunciation, Kalpa or ritual,Vyakarana or grammar, Nirukta or etymology, Chandas or meter, Jyotisha or astronomy.
Paper 11 – Upavedas - 4 Credits
The term upaveda (“applied knowledge”) is used in traditional literature to designate the subjects of certain applied knowledge and technical works. The lists in this class differ among sources. However the one largely acceptable and as per Caraṇavyuha, is as follows:-
1. Ayurveda (Medicine), associated with the Ṛgveda
2.Dhanurveda (Archery), associated with the Yajurveda
3. Gāndharvaveda (Music and sacred dance), associated with the Samaveda, and
4. Arthaśāstra (Economics), associated with the Atharvaveda
Paper 12 – Upanishads (Part 1) - Isha, Kena, Kath - 4 Credits
Ishavasya Upanishad is a small Upanishad consisting of 18 mantras and it belongs to Shukla Yajur Veda. Isavasya Upanishad is one of the few Upanishads like Taittiriya Upanishad for which the Svara is still maintained and available for chanting. This Upanishad gets it name because of the first portion of the beginning verse “Isavasyam Idam Sarvam”. The first two words are “Isa” and “Avasyam” and hence its called Isavasya. The first word is “Isa” so it can also be called Isa Upanishad or Isopanishad. Kenopanishad is a small Upanishad in Sama Veda, and it has 4 chapters, each chapter known as a Kanda or Adhyaya. There are in total 35 mantras and therefore it’s a relatively small but a very important Upanishad. Kath Upanishad is also known as Kathopanishad and belongs to Krishna Yajur Veda. This is a fairly big Upanishad consisting of 119 mantras spread over 2 chapters. Each chapter is called an Adhyaya, and in each chapter there are 3 sections known as Vallis.
Paper 12 – Upanishads (Part 2) - Prashna, Mandukya, Taittirya - 4 Credits
Prashna Upanishad is a commentary or elaboration on Mundaka Upanishad. This Upanishad can also be called by the name Prasnopanishad, and it is given in the form of a dialogue between a Guru named Pippalada and 6 disciples. Mandukya is the smallest Upanishad among the 10 main Upanishads, containing only 12 mantras. We know that it’s impossible to cover entire Vedanta in just 12 mantras, so it’s important to know that this Upanishad is not primarily meant to teach Vedanta but to remember the teachings which have been elaborately dealt with in the other Upanishads. Taittiriya Upanishad is named after an acharya, Tittiri Acharya, who preserved and propagated this Upanishad. This Upanishad is in prose form and has 3 chapters, each chapter being known as a “Valli”. The three chapters are called Shiksha Valli, Brahma Valli and Bhrigu Valli.
Project - 4 Credits
Based on the subjects covered in the program, students will be given elective topics for project. Project can be based on below point with reference to the different concepts taught in the program –
• Validation of concept
• Application of concept
• Creating physical dummy models
• Finding references and proofs for the concept, etc.
Students have to write the thesis and present it front of external faculty panel.
Paper 13 – Yajurveda Upanishads 1
“Mundaka” means “head”, and the word “head” generally indicates importance. For e.g. the head of an organization. Mundaka Upanishad is known by this name because it is one of the most important Upanishads. Therefore it being a primary Upanishad it’s called Mundaka Upanishad. This Upanishad has got 3 chapters and 6 sections; each chapter having 2 sections each. Each chapter is known as Mundaka and each section as a Kanda. There are in total 65 mantras in the entire Upanishad. Chandogya Upanishad belongs to Sama Veda like Kena Upanishad, and it’s a big Upanishad consisting of 8 chapters and 627 mantras. In fact among the 10 Upanishads, Chandogya has the highest number of mantras. Chandogya Upanishad is also said to be chanted with Svara (intonation) like Isavasya and Taittiriya Upanishads. Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is available with Svara.
Paper 14 – Yajurveda Upanishads 2 - 4 Credits
Aitareya Upanishad was given out by a Rishi named Aitareya and hence the name of the Upanishad. Aitareya Rishi is also known as Mahidasa. So some people call him AitareyaMahidasa Rishi. He got the name of Aitareya because his mother’s name was Itara. “Brihad” means “great” or “big”. Brihadaranyaka is a great Upanishad not only in terms of its volume, it’s great in terms of the depth of its insight. So it’s a great Upanishad in terms of both quantity as well as quality. Thus the name Brihadaranyaka can mean either “a great Upanishad studied in the forests” or “an Upanishad as great or big as a forest”. This Upanishad has got 434 mantras which makes it a very big Upanishad. Based on mantra count Chandogya seems to be bigger with 627 mantras, but the size of each mantra in Brihadaranyaka is bigger. So ultimately volume-wise Brihadaranyaka is as big as Chandogya. But if we look at Adi Shankara’s commentaries on Brihadaranyaka, it’s twice that of his commentary on Chandogya.
Paper 15 – Atharvaveda Upanishads and Gaun Upanishad - 4 Credits
Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad) is an ancient Sanskrit text embedded in the Yajurveda. The Upanishad contains 113 mantras or verses in six chapters. The Shvetashvatara Upanishad opens with metaphysical questions about the primal cause of all existence, its origin, its end, and what role, if any, time, nature, necessity, chance, and the spirit had as the primal cause. The Maitrayaniya Upanishad consists of seven Prapathakas (lessons). The first Prapathaka is introductory, the next three are structured in a question-answer style and discuss metaphysical questions relating to Atman (Self), while the fifth to seventh Prapathaka are supplements. the first chapter of the Kausitaki Upanishad, rebirth and transmigration of Atman (Self) is asserted as existent, and that one's life is affected by karma, and then it asks whether there is liberation and freedom from the cycles of birth and rebirth. The Kaushitaki Upanishad is part of the Rigveda, but it occupies different chapter numbers in the Veda manuscripts discovered in different parts of India. Three sequences are most common: the Upanishad is chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Kausitaki Aranyaka.

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.
