Description

Vyakarana – II

Course content:

Panini’s Astsdhyayi is a monumental work in the sutra format (short aphorisms) that establishes the grammar for classical Sanskrit as a language. At the same time, the text also presents a general model for language description, that goes beyond Sanskrit as a specific language instance.

This is the second course in a sequence of four courses on Vyakaraṇa (grammar) based on Panini’s Astadhyayi. The Vyakarana tradition provides interpretation and analysis of the sutras and elucidates the process of generation of various language components through treatises like Siddhanta-kaumudi and Laghu-siddhanta-kaumudi (for beginners) in the lines of Panini’s Astadhyayi. Traditionally, the commencement of the study of Vyakarana is done with these texts.

 

In this course the students will be able to:

  1. Understand the architecture of Astadhyayi as a treatise of language structure
  2. Independently study Astadhyayi with allied texts
  3. Comprehend the computational model of Sanskrit grammar as articulated by Astadhyayi
  4. Apply the rules of interpretation of Astadhyayi as proposed by Panini
  5. Understand the phonetic transition that occurs in the conjunction of sounds
  6. Appreciate the robustness and holistic excellence of the treatise
  7. Understand the philosophy of language that provided the concept of apoddhara based on which Panini formulated his Astadhyayi

    CPS7507 – How does a Vedanta perspective widen our understanding of the current predicaments, and help us explore solutions to them? While exploring solutions to international conflicts, the Vedanta perspective goes beyond surface dimensions of conflicts. For example, Vedanta philsopher Sri Aurobindo argued, like individuals, states have egos– amplified through national habits, prejudices, and idiosyncrasies.

    When applied to international politics, they lead to jingoism, exploitation, and wars, leading to practices like colonialism and imperialism. Colonialism and imperialism were only manifestations of an exploitative substructure. Though colonialism and imperialism belong to the past, the root, the ego, is intact, and its manifestation has acquired new shapes. The Vedanta perspective would also argue that state ego is not static, and it can evolve when state leaders think in terms of human unity and factor that thinking into policymaking.

    The establishment of the United Nations, after the failure of the League of Nations, was hailed a right step in this direction. The UN was established with a promise to ensure dignity and equality to all states. Has this happened? The course explores all these dimensions while mainstreaming the Vedanta perspective and aims to design a Vedanta approach to international politics.

    (SAN7101) – The key features of the Navya-nyāya system of thought as it evolved in time to become the main pramāṇa-śāstra (loosely the discipline of epistemology) in the world of Vedic knowledge systems are essential for the understanding of all other knowledge traditions. The Navya-nyāya system provided the technical language and structures that systematized presentation of thought and dialectics in the world of cognition. All other systems developed theories based on the foundations of the Navya-nyāya model as a reference standard.

    (SAN5101) – India has its own highly systematized method of scientific discourse that is followed in all scientific texts, called śāstras. Every scientific treatise in the Vedic tradition has a well-defined structure as well as connections among all of its statements to form a coherent discourse that is both concise and precise.

    Mastering this method of scientific text authoring greatly simplifies the understanding of Vedic scientific work, thereby accelerating its learning and application. The structures employed in śāstras also provides a common platform for deliberations, discussions, and debates across śāstras, which is one of the most important aspects of the Indic knowledge traditions in their advancement and propagation.

    Gandhian Philosophy

    CPS7503 – The relevance of Mahatma Gandhi for the contemporary world, characterized by turbulence, is indisputable. Gandhi’s principles of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (love for the truth) stemmed from his religious tradition, and he applied these principles to political action in South Africa and India.

    Gandhian ideas such as frugal economy, Gram Swaraj (grass-roots democracy), Ram Rajya (ideal state), trusteeship, social service, Swadeshi (self-reliance), bread-labor, social and religious harmony, and optimal use of resources will also be explored in the course. The course, while evaluating Gandhian perspective on conflict resolution and peacebuilding, critically examines ideas of Gandhi in academic and policy debates towards the development of rich and multiple perspectives and pathways to address the gap between principles and practice.

    It also proposes Gandhian solutions to contemporary global issues including, but not limited to, inter-state and intra-state conflicts, climate change, religious extremism, rich-poor divide, education, economic development, and women empowerment. The students taking this course will apply a Gandhian perspective on the prevailing discourses on human life and society and appreciate the significance of dialogue among civilizations and cultures.
