• Comprehensive presentation addresses the knowledge needs of mass audience and the original Sanskrit quotations provide a scholarly research and debate platform.
• Compilation of the subject matter involves extensive research of Vedic literature including reliable internet sources. (Shodhganga, Vedic Heritage Portal, Internet Archives, Digital Library of India and Sanskrit Literature sites).
• Bring to light hitherto unexplored views of traditional scholars : Dharmawiki articles tap into the well-established research heritage of India, reflected in the intellectual writings and translations of traditional Indian scholars. Thereby providing a technological workspace to bring forward the views of traditional scholars (mainstream or otherwise) and their scholarly works that have been so far unexplored.
• Direct samskrit quotations and references from vedic and vedantic literatures, and texts such as Shabdakalpadruma and Nirukta to reinforce the concepts.
• Presents traditional and contemporary views : As a discussion platform, Dharmawiki presents both the traditional as well as contemporary views of the dharmic and vedic aspects.
• Collecting traditional view-points by personal interaction with learned scholars regarding principles of Sanatana dharma and socially contentious topics (Example : Yama-Yami samvada) in Samskrit forums.
• Topics under development include principles of general dharma to revive traditional moral perspectives (rights and duties, judiciary, finance and economy, women and children, education system) ancient practices such as Nityakarmas (Aupasana and Agnihotra), Yajnas (Vaisvedeva) and Samskaras to eventually serve as reference manuals (of conventional practices).
• Profound esoteric insights of ancient seers characteristic of the vedas and vedanta. Example: Vidya (Brahmavidya, Bhumavidya, Panchagnividya), Mahavakyas, Margas (Paths in life and for enlightenment) such as Pravritti and Nivritti, Shastras (Nyaya and Mimamsa).
