Towards Diligence (रचनासौष्ठवम्)

Rachana Saushtavam (Samskrit : रचनासौष्ठवम्) refers to the adeptness (skillfulness, excellence) in composing the topics of relevance with required academic rigour without compromising on the quality of the work.

Dharmawiki compositions are essentially compilations of subject matter on particular topics. Rachana (रचना) Sausthavam (सौष्ठवम्) here refers not' to the well being of a new creation' as there is no object of creativity in the Vedas. Concepts are available in the ancient texts, hardened over years by commentaries of several maharshis, they just have to be rightly put together.

Rachana Saushtavam in Dharmawiki refers to the quality goals of the narratives being compiled after Samshodhana (samyak shodhayati) or thorough examination of the original sources. It includes the many 'checks and balances' to prevent bias both in understanding the concepts and the writing (presentation) style. Simple English language (or Hindi) is to be used to convey the concept with references to (as many as appropriate) primary sources (samskrit texts) directly linking them to the particular pages of the reference for verifiability.

Care should be taken to avoid the language used in translations of colonial times as readability is affected. Comprehensiveness of the concept as well as the article is required to ensure academic rigour, where articles are refined over time with scholarly inputs. Detailed guidelines for Dharmawiki as well as Guest Authors are described to a greater extent on this site.
