This traditional discipline is attracting brilliant students who dedicate themselves to the study of the most honoured Indian knowledge system. Vedas have been acclaimed and accepted as a reservoir of profound knowledge. This department also conducts Vedic classes for the benefit of the general public.

f) The Department of Dharmshastra plays a vital role in preserving the Smriti tradition. It has considerable importance in the present day context with a lot of scope in understanding the ancient Indian legal system especially in the field of women rights, property rights and socially marginalized classes. In order to create awareness among students, components of the Judgments of the Privy Council, Supreme Court and other sub-ordinate courts are also included as special papers. The department's special interests are some of the areas of contemporary relevance and interests like Human Rights, Culture, Legal studies and Environment.

The department regularly conducts discussion wherein the faculty members thoroughly analyse and critically study various texts and linguistic theories.

i) The department of Paurohitya is established with the main objective to develop and preserve Indian cultural heritage. The department offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The certificate and diploma courses are also quite popular attracting more students because of being practical- oriented and vocational courses of the traditional set-up.

This Panchang gives the details of fasts (Vrata), festivals and different methods of preparing horoscopes and forecasts for the complete year. This Panchang is prepared with the assistance of Prof. Prem Kumar Sharma, Prof. Devi Prasad Tripathi and other experts of the Jyotish department.

k) Sahitya is one of the major departments of our Vidyapeetha and is active since the inception of the Vidyapeetha. Shashtri and Acharya in Sahitya are very much in demand and almost double numbers of applications are received against the sanctioned seats. Considering the fact that general universities and affiliated colleges teach this subject, employment prospect is more for students of Sahitya & Sanskrit. There are eight research scholars currently in the department. Four students of the department have cleared the NET examination. The teachers of the department have undertaken projects funded by UGC. Cultural programmes like drama and debates are also conducted and organized by the Sahitya Department during the year.

l) The department of Puraneitihas started with the objective of projecting the knowledge about Indian tradition, social and geographical set up embedded in the Puranas. The in-depth study of the Puranas can create a strong impact on various fields of Indian tourism, Indian medicine, Indian cuisine, Indian narrative tradition and Indian behavioural & cultural patterns which are of great & cultural interest to people from all over the world. Puraneithihas is one of the subjects opted by the students in the Vidyapeetha. Puranas are a compendium of many branches of learning. A study of Puranas introduces the students to our narrative tradition. It also provides them

13

opportunities for research and doing activities of higher learning in other branches of knowledge. The department conducted workshops on the importance of Puranas, its characteristics and social relevance.

m) The department of Prakrit is a special feature of the Vidyapeetha as Prakrit is not taught in any of the Sanskrit Universities. It is comparatively young department, started in 1997. It is commendable that so far 10 students have cleared NET examination since the department's inception. The teachers of the department have been invited to foreign countries to deliver lectures on Jain Religion and Philosophy. The department plans to strengthen its library by getting books from private collections.

n) Besides traditional subjects, the modern subjects like Hindi, English, Sociology, Political Science & Computer Science are also being taught.

o) Nyaya Vaiseshik is one of the most difficult systems of Indian philosophy and requires indepth study. Prachin Nyaya and Navya Nyaya are the subjects of study for Acharya, since the inception of the Vidyapeetha. The department is engaged in editing and translating the books and reading materials which are not readily available. Simplified texts to facilitate proper learning for the students are also prepared and published. The students are made aware of the use of ancient texts in tackling the issues and problems confronting contemporary society. It also prepares the students to be able administrator. An understanding in Nyaya Vaisheshik philosophy is essential for the understanding of any other branch of philosophy.

The Department also proposed to start a Diploma course in very near future to facilitate those students who are preparing for IAS, PCS, NET, JRF etc. accordingly to their expectations. This course has been designed in such a way as to raise awareness among students about Indianness, tolerance and other human values. This may also pave the way for establishing peace in society and try to inculcate the insights of the Upanishads, the Geeta and the Puranas among the young generation.

The teachers of the Nyaya Vaiseshik department, in addition to their teaching work are being engaged to organise and attend seminars conducted by this Vidyapeetha or other different Universities. They have been invited to participate in Shastrarths, Symposia, extension lecturers and workshops regularly by prominent academic institutions at national and international level.

p) Sankhya Yoga is an important aspect of Indian philosophy. With the special interest shown in Indology all over the globe, courses in Sankhya Yoga are very relevant in modern era of knowledge. In this twin subjects Sankhya and Yoga the emphasis is on metaphysics. They are complimentary to each other in the sense that Sankhya analyses the concept of Prakriti (matter) and Purusha whereas yoga lays greater

14

emphasis on in depth psychology and believes in the elevation of human soul by following the ways and means of realizing it. Sankhya, the ancient tradition enunciating the theory of Satva, Rajas and Tamas is correlated with Newton's laws of motion and inspires to understand quantum physics. For the past 35 years, the department concentrates on higher learning, teaching and research. About 600 students and 50 research students have passed out from this department.

In this session National Seminars has been organized by the Nyaya Vedanta and Jain Department on the different subjects. In these Seminars, the teachers of Sankhya Yog Departments actively participated and presented their articles too.

q) Whereas the conventional universities teach Indian philosophy in general terms, Sanskrit Vidyapeetha offers a more focused and in depth study of Advaita Vedanta, a popular system of thought in Indian Philosophy. The department often functions in close collaboration with other departments of the faculty of Darshan. The teachers of the department, in addition to their teaching work attend seminars conducted in Mutts and are invited to participate in Shastrarth, Symposia and workshop at prominent academic gatherings.

r) Visishtadvaita Vedanta is a specialized traditional subject which was taught only in South India. Vidyapeetha started this department in the ninth plan in order to bridge this gap. The department's major activity is research seminars and discussions. Textual interpretations and comparative analysis of major system of Vedanta are some of the contributions of the department. The department in future proposes to edit books that are out of print, with annotations and bring out Hindi translations of those texts. Research interests of the department will assign priority to some major problems related to other systems of thought with reference to Visishtadvaita Vedanta.

s) Considering the rich knowledge with respect to philosophical speculations contained in the Jain texts, there was a long felt need for a separate department for in-depth study of the tenets of this significant system of thoughts. In New Delhi, it is a unique department of its kind. It is established with the main objectives of making the Vidyapeetha a representative of Indian tradition.

Jain literature is a vast field and the cultural material hidden in it is of immense importance. Jain Darshan as a source of cultural history is as important as Vedic or Buddhist studies. It is all in Sanskrit, Prakrit and Hindi. Jain philosophy has a lot in common with Hindu philosophy and it has its own peculiarities too. Atomic theory, Karmic theory, theory of Anekantvad, Syadvad, Nayavad, theory of Ahimsa, spirituality, methods of meditation and non-violence are useful in today's world. The department concentrates on teaching and research. Since its inception the department

15

has contributed in a major way to understand the views projected in other systems of thought.

The Department proposes to translate some major texts in Hindi and will take up interdisciplinary studies. Publication of a departmental research journal has been planned in coming years. To start certificate course and Diploma course in Jain philosophy, organization of national and international seminars, editing and publication of ancient basic texts are all part of proposed plan of action.

All the teachers of this department participated in different National and International Seminar and presented their research papers accordingly. It is also commendable that these papers published in different reputed research journals (ISSN) of India. The book titled “Darshnik Samanvya ki Drishti Nayavad” and “Ahimsha Darshan: ek Anuchintan” written by Dr. Anekant Kumar Jain published in this year.

So many students of this Department participated in University level competitions and got 1st, 2nd and 3rd position respectively. Three students of this Department Mr. Pratap, Mr. Ravi and Miss Premlata cleared the UGC JRF and NET exam successfully.

This Department got a huge literature in book form as a gift for its library by Acharya Kanknand Ji related to Dharam Vigyan Shodh Sansthan, Udaypur.

t) The opening of a separate department of "Sarva Darshan" is a unique feature of the Vidyapeetha. Sarva Darshan covers the knowledge in various texts belonging to different philosophical orientations. Exposure to all systems of philosophy helps the student specialize in more than one field of Indian philosophy and to carry out interdisciplinary studies. The faculty members have also taken up many research projects. The teachers of this department specialize in different Indian philosophical thoughts. The students completing the course in Sarva Darshan find it useful to get into Indian Administrative services. Alumni of the department have taken up teaching positions in various educational institutions in Haryana, Rajasthan and other places. Dr. Hareram Tripathi has bagged awards. The department in order to give new dimension to existing curricular proposes to include some important area of western philosophy especially Greek and Chinese philosophy. It is a matter of concern for the department that the Kashmir Sarva Darshan is vanishing from the academic arena. Knowledge and research in this branch of philosophy are necessary for the society. The department proposes to collect, edit and publish the summary of all texts in this field in a single volume.

There is also a plan to prepare "Sankhyayoga Darshan Dictionary" as an annotated text with explanation. Hindi translation of rare texts is also one of the activities planned.

16

u) Mimansa is a new department started in 1998. The subject was popular in Southern states only. The department was started in Vidyapeetha considering the fact that it was useful in understanding the philosophy and intricacies of Yajna. Mimansa has also become prominent because of certain judgments pronounced on the basis of Mimansa rules of interpretation. The department proposes to prepare a classified document of all the judgments of Privy Council which were delivered, specially in cases of law of inheritance, law of adoption and women's rights. In collaboration with Centre for Women's Studies, the department plans to undertake studies pertaining to these topics.

v) The Faculty of Adhunik Jnan Vijnan is an important part of Vidyapeetha. At present, this faculty consists of members from both traditional (Sanskrit) and modern areas of knowledge. This faculty trains students in B.Ed. Course and M.Ed. Course.

The students of B.Ed. course are trained for teaching at school level. They are specially prepared for teaching of Sanskrit with one modern subject at school level. Through M.Ed. Course, the students are prepared to teach teachers (teacher-education) at different levels and they submit their dissertations on different aspects of education such as problems in educational administration, current system of education, contemporary issues on education, special education, philosophical and sociological aspects on education, psychological aspects of education, seminars, innovative teaching and analysis of Indian literature from the perspective of teaching and learning.

w) A separate Department of Research and Publication is working in Vidyapeetha for Research and Publication of traditional Sanskrit texts. This department has been established as an independent department under the direct control of the Vice-Chancellor of this Vidyapeetha.
