SUMMARY:Master Class on Tantrayukti by Dr. M. Jayaraman
DESCRIPTION:INDICA & CENTRAL SANSKRIT UNIVERSITY\nPresent \nMASTER CLASS ON TANTRAYUKTI\nA Two Day Workshop on IKS-based Thesis Construction \nFollowing the depth and intensity of the recent Master Class on the Mahābhārata with Prof Vishwa Adluri\, INDICA\, in collaboration with Central Sanskrit University\, announces a two day Master Class on Tantrayukti with Prof M. Jayaraman. \nTantrayukti is the classical Indian discipline of textual construction and method. It teaches us how a śāstra thinks\, how an inquiry is framed\, how an argument unfolds\, and how a work holds together as a coherent whole. It is\, in essence\, an indigenous methodology for building a thesis. \nFor anyone engaged in serious research or long-form writing today\, the absence of method is deeply felt. We often carry rich material but struggle with structure. We write\, but our arguments wander. We research\, but our work lacks inner architecture. Whether one works within Indian Knowledge Systems or in any other field\, the challenge is the same: how to think clearly\, build coherently\, and let a work hold together as a whole.This Master Class is designed to address that gap by introducing participants to an Indic framework for thinking\, sequencing\, and exposition\, and by showing how it can be applied within modern academic writing. \nThis offering forms part of the ongoing academic collaboration between INDICA and Central Sanskrit University\, and is conceived as a foundational training for those engaged in serious research and writing within Indian Knowledge Systems. \nParticipation is through application and selection. A focused cohort of participants will be curated to ensure depth\, rigor\, and meaningful engagement. Applications are now open. Interested participants are invited to apply through the registration form on this page. All applications will be reviewed\, and selected participants will be informed after the evaluation process. \nMandatory Text\nAll selected participants are required to procure a copy of Tantrayukti: IKS-based Handbook for Thesis Construction by Prof M. Jayaraman. The Master Class will be anchored in this text\, and participants are expected to bring their copy to the sessions. \nGratitude-Based Participation\nAt INDICA\, learning is guided by gratitude rather than transactions. This Master Class is offered in a spirit of reverence for the wisdom we have inherited and for those who choose to engage with it sincerely. There is no fixed fee. \nParticipants are invited to express their gratitude through Guru Dakṣiṇā and by supporting INDICA’s work in an amount that reflects the value of the learning and their appreciation for the space being created. Such contributions enable us to continue offering these learning experiences and to sustain the broader mission of preserving and transmitting Indian Knowledge Systems. \nGratitude may also be expressed through time and action\, by carrying forward what is received through mentoring\, writing\, conversations\, or other forms of service. \nThis approach allows each participant to engage from intention\, not obligation. \nTo express gratitude in monetary form\, please click here. \nSchedule\nDAY 01  \nSession 1 | 10:00 – 11:15 \n\nIntellectual Climate of Ancient Bharat\nHints for Organized Knowledge Transmission from across Śāstra tradition\nTantrayukti as a unified and compact document for Knowledge Transmission\n\nTea Break | 11:15 – 11:30 \nSession 2 | 11:30 – 1:00 \n\nHistorical evolution and academic functions of Tantrayukti\nPan-Indian\, translingual\, and multidisciplinary usage\nContribution of Tantrayuktis for Content – Structure and Language\nContent Development: Foundational Tantrayuktis – Conceptual grounding and problem formulation\nSaṁśaya\, Apadeśa\, Anumata\, Hetvārtha\n\nLunch | 1:00 – 2:00 \nSession 3 | 2:00 – 3:15 \n\nTantrayuktis for Thesis Content Development\nOriginality & Analytical Expansion\nDevices for interpretation\, synthesis\, and innovation\nEkānta\, Niyoga\, Upadeśa\, Apavarga\, Vikalpa\, Samuccaya\, Ūhya\n\nTea Break | 3:15 – 3:30 \nSession 4 | 3:30 – 5:00 \n\nReflective period for thinking about the Yuktis for content from existing works of thesis or books pertaining to participants’ own area of research – 45 mins (individually/in group/in pairs)\nSharing of reflections by participants – 45 mins\n\nDAY 02  \nSession 5 | 10:00 – 11:15 \n\nStructuring a Thesis\nOrganizing chapters and arguments\nAdhikaraṇa–Vidhāna\, Uddeśa–Nirdeśa\, Pūrvapakṣa–Uttarapakṣa\nContinuity\, extension\, and evaluation: Atikrāntavekṣaṇa–Anāgatavekṣaṇa\, Atideśa–Pradeśa\, Prasaṅga–Viparyaya\n\nTea Break | 11:15 – 11:30 \nSession 6 | 11:30 – 1:00 \n\nReflective period for thinking about the Yuktis for content from existing works of thesis or books pertaining to participants’ own area of research – 45 mins (individually/in group/in pairs)\nSharing of reflections by participants – 45 mins\n\nLunch | 1:00 – 2:00 \nSession 7 | 2:00 – 3:15 \n\nLanguage Refinement – Part I\nClarification\, conceptual expansion\, and advanced interpretative devices\nYoga\, Padārtha\, Nidarśana\, Upamāna\, Vyākhyā\, Nirvacana\, Vākyaśeṣa\, Arthāpatti\, Svasaṁjñā\nTantra Guṇas and Tantra Doṣas – Excellences and Flaws in text construction\n\nTantrayukti in Contemporary Academia \n\nScholar checklists and evaluator toolkits\nFormal academic integration and discussion\n\nTea Break | 3:15 – 3:30 \nSession 8 | 3:30 – 5:00 \n\nReflective period for thinking about the Yuktis for content from existing works of thesis or books pertaining to participants’ own area of research – 45 mins (individually/in group/in pairs)\nSharing of reflections by participants – 45 mins
