The Need
A Call for the Renaissance of Indian Wisdom
Until around 1000 A.D., India stood tall among the world’s most prosperous civilisations—spiritually and materially, contributing nearly one-third of the global GDP.
This remarkable prosperity— Samriddhi—was rooted in a vibrant culture—Sanskriti—which itself was deeply nourished by Saraswati, the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS).
What is IKS?
Indian knowledge systems represent the most ancient, expansive, and profound body of knowledge known to humanity.
From medicine, music, and mathematics to dance, astrology, and yoga—IKS covered it all.
The Huge Impact & Potential of Indian Knowledge Systems Globally
Yoga and Ayurveda are just glimpses of IKS that continue to transform lives worldwide.

1800s onwards – Systematic exclusion of IKS from India’s mainstream education begins—a tragic trend that continues even post-independence.
1209 A.D.
While Nalanda fades into ruins, the University of Cambridge is established— rising to global academic prominence continuing till date over 800 years.
I would strike at the root of the bad system
... I would at once stop the printing of ... Sanskrit books... The money released by these steps should instead go fund education in Western subjects.
An SOS Call
Bhaktivedanta University is a humble yet urgent mission to revive Indian Knowledge Systems globally.
Let us rebuild what was once the intellectual and cultural lighthouse of the world. The time is now!
