Dharmawiki:About

DharmaWiki lays the foundation in creating a universal forum and spearheading a campaign for bringing to light the numerous perspectives of Sanatana Dharma expounded in the Vedic traditions.

The core idea is to take the reader closer to the the original sources - the Vedas and the Vaidika Vangmaya (Vedangas- Kalpas and Nirukta, Darshanas, Itihasas, Puranas, etc.) thereby sensitizing him/her about the various dharmika perspectives that lead to self fulfillment and a holistic existence.  

श्रूयतां धर्मसर्वस्वम् ॥ Listen to the Essence of Dharma

• Our Motto : श्रूयताम् धर्मसर्वस्वम् । śrūyatām dharmasarvasvam

श्रूयताम् धर्मसर्वस्वं श्रुत्वा चैवावधार्यताम् | आत्मन: प्रतिकूलानि परेषां न समाचरेत् || śrūyatām dharmasarvasvaṁ śrutvā caivāvadhāryatām | ātmana: pratikūlāni pareṣāṁ na samācaret ||

Please listen to the essence of Dharma and having listened to it, bear in mind. The essence of Dharma is: Whatever is adverse (or Unfavourable) to us, we should not adopt (operate) that in case of others.

Padma Purana also reverberates the same concept.(1.19.335). Our primary efforts are to bring to light and present the unbiased dharmika perspectives on social, economic, political and cultural aspects presented in Shrutis, Smrtis, Puranas and Shastra granthas.

We strive to lay a strong foundation of religion, philosophy, ethics, codes of conduct, and common laws on which the reader may contemplate and build his/her character with more specialized principles suited to his/her intellectual and emotional temperament. It is directed to the building up of a character - pious, dutiful, strong, self reliant, upright, righteous, gentle and well-balanced - a character which will be that of a good man and a good citizen leading a Dharmika Jivana Vidhana.

• Our Aim : लोकसङ्ग्रहम् । lokasaṅgraham ।

As Yojakas (योजकाः । organizers) we aim to bring together the diversity of the intellectual thoughts, establishing the foundational unity (एकवाक्यता) in Bharatiya Shastra Granthas. It is inclusive enough to unite the most divergent forms of Hindu thought, but exclusive enough to leave outside it, forms of thought which divides humanity.

To bring to light unbiased dharmic perspectives on social, economic, political, and cultural aspects presented in Shrutis, Smrtis, Puranas and Shastra granthas.

अमन्त्रमक्षरं नास्ति नास्ति मूलमनौषधम्‌ । अयोग्यः पुरुषो नास्ति योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः॥ amantramakṣaraṁ nāsti nāsti mūlamanauṣadham‌ । ayogyaḥ puruṣo nāsti yojakastatra durlabhaḥ॥

We bring together the diversity of the intellectual thoughts establishing the foundational unity (एकवाक्यता) in Bharatiya Shastra Granthas, enabling a scholar and novice to interact on a universal forum.

• Our Vision : धर्म-सारम् इदं जगत् । dharma-sāram idaṁ jagat ।

We aim at dispersion of the dharmic knowledge, advocating the holistic approach towards life expounded in our traditional treatises for the betterment of the generations to come.
