SUMMARY:Shaastric Response To Contemporary Criticisms
DESCRIPTION:INDICA is organizing a symposium on the topic “Shaastric Response to Contemporary Criticisms\,” which will present a few examples of how Shaastra scholars of the past and present would respond to contemporary criticisms\, distortions\, and misinterpretations of Hindu texts\, traditions\, and worldviews. \nSpeakers at the event will include an octogenarian Saanga Svaadhyaaya Bhaaskara Salakshana Ghanappathi who is a PhD-holding traditional Shaastra scholar\, as well as young Shaastra scholars mastering multiple Shaastras\, ambidextrous Vaidika Purohitas with a command over contemporary social science paradigms\, and contemporary scholars with a grasp of the Shaastric perspective. This unprecedented\, first-of-its-kind event will feature presentations by these scholars addressing contemporary attacks on various aspects of Hinduism\, including Hindu political and legal thought\, Hindu marriage mantras and rituals\, reformationist interpretations of Vedic texts\, gender-oriented critiques of Dharma Shaastra texts\, attempts to disconnect Dharma Shaastra texts from the temple tradition— the core of Hinduism— and attacks on the Sanskrit language\, its literature\, and achievements in aesthetic sciences\, as well as challenges to the integrity of key Sanskrit texts such as the Ramayana. \n\nइण्डिका इत्यस्मत्‌संस्था  “समकालीनदूषणानां शास्त्रीयप्रतिस्पंदनम्‌”   इति विषये संगोष्ठीम् आयोजयति\, यस्मिन् हिन्दुग्रन्थानां\, परम्पराणां\, विश्वदृष्टीनां च समकालीनदूषणानां\, विकृतिनां\, दुर्व्याख्यानां च प्रति अतीतानां वर्तमानानाञ्च शास्त्रविद्वांसः कथं प्रतिक्रियां दास्यन्ति इति कतिपयानि उदाहरणानि प्रस्तुतानि भविष्यन्ति। \nअस्मिन्‌ आयोजने अशीत्यधिकवर्षीयसाङ्गस्वाध्यायभास्करसलक्षणघनपाठी  यः पीएचडी-धारकः पारम्परिकाःशास्त्रविद्वान् \,  बहुविधशास्त्रेषु निपुणतां प्राप्तवन्तः युवाः शास्त्रविद्वांसः\, समकालीनसामाजिकविज्ञानप्रतिमानानाम् विषयेषु साधिकारिकतायुतवैदिकपुरोहिताः\,  शास्त्रीय- दृष्टिकोणयुतसमकालीनविद्वांसः प्रभृतयः वक्तारः भवंति।  । अस्मिन् अभूतपूर्वे आयोजने एतेषां विद्वांसस्य हिन्दुधर्मस्य विभिन्नपक्षेषु समकालीनप्रहारं अधिकृत्य प्रस्तुतिः भविष्यति।  हैन्दवराजनैतिकचिंतनम्‌ न्यायिकचिंतनम्‌ च \, हिन्दूविवाहमन्त्राः संस्काराः\, वैदिकग्रन्थानां सुधारवादी व्याख्याः\, धर्मशास्त्राणां प्रति लिंगविषयकदूषणाः आलयपरंपरां धर्मशास्त्रपरंपरायाः विच्छेदनयत्नाः  तथा संस्कृतभाषायाः\, तस्याः साहित्यस्य\, सौन्दर्यविज्ञानस्य च उपलब्धीनां उपरि आक्रमणानि\, तथैव रामायणादिमुख्यसंस्कृतग्रन्थानां अखण्डताविषयकदूषणानि इत्यादि विषयानामुद्दिश्य प्रस्तुतयः भविष्यन्ति। \n**SCHEDULE** \n\n\n\n\nTime\nName Of The Speaker\nTitle\n\n\n9.00-9.15\nDr. Nagaraj Paturi \nDean IKS & Senior Director\, INDICA\nWhy Contemporary?
