Abstract

Indian Knowledge System (IKS) has its roots in ancient India’s scientific, philosophical and cultural traditions. Despite being a modern name, “IKS” has its roots in ancient texts like as Vedas, Upanishads, and Darshanas, which together created a methodical, dynamic, and practice-based approach to knowledge transfer. A vast array of topics is covered by Indian knowledge System including astrology, literature, physics, mathematics, philosophy, religion, and medicine. The emphasis on the interconnection and connectivity of all living things and the universe is one of the main features of the Indian Knowledge System. Through ideas like Dharma, Karma, Yoga, and Ahimsa, it integrates physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being and places an emphasis on holistic growth. Different view points on reality, ethics, and self-realization are presented by the six schools of orthodox Hindu philosophy. By bringing life into harmony with the natural world and the universal order, these ideas serve as the foundation for sustainable living, personal accountability, and societal ideals. Ayurveda and Vedanta, which promote equilibrium, natural healing, and inner awareness, stand in for the physical and spiritual aspects of IKS. Self-discipline, emotional stability, and spiritual development are facilitated by practices such as yoga and meditation. Compassion and societal harmony are promoted by fundamental ethical concepts like Seva (selfless service) and Ahimsa (non-violence). A healthy, sustainable, and purposeful way of life is promoted by the Indian Knowledge System, which connects traditional wisdom with contemporary ideas.
