Our Gaze
Br̥hat Education · IKS & Episteme
On establishing the Indian Knowledge System as a universal episteme
परमाणु is not atom · history is not इतिहास
-
A universal episteme
IKS as a complete way of knowing, rooted in our civilizational knowledge and values.
-
Delivered as a science
Systematic and rigorous — not piecemeal claims or anecdote.
-
Turning the gaze
An alternative to Western ontologies, read on its own terms.
-
Content and form, together
Both वस्तु and वास्तु emerging from the śāstras themselves.

-
Vastu and Vāstu: why content and form must both come from the śāstrasTo establish IKS as a universal episteme, we cannot borrow Western form to carry Indian content. Both वस्तु and वास्तु must emerge from within our own knowledge traditions. -
Changing the “Dristi” - Reversing the GazeProviding a more holistic perspective offering an alternative to Western ontologies and epistemologies, on our own terms. -
The Śāstrika FrameworkRe-conceptualizing every discipline from conceptualization to application, using models of thought derived from the śāstras. -
The Indian Knowledge RepositoryThe living corpus — Nāṭyaśāstra, Tarkaśāstra, Yogasūtra, Aṣṭādhyāyī and Itihāsa-Purāṇa — every child should encounter. -
Education as a PortalEducation not as the transfer of information, but as a portal into a civilizational way of seeing. -
Education Rooted in EpistemeIKS delivered systematically as a science, rather than in a piecemeal, anecdotal fashion.
