The  Mahabharata   is an epic bearing its philosophical interpretation throughout for those who have discerned its interpretative principles but manifest a comprehensive philosophical perspective, especially in the  Bhagavad Gita .   Without presupposing that the accounts in these two texts, albeit from kindred cultures, should be the same, this Indica Course seeks to bring them, and the experiences of divinity that inform them, into a dialogue.

Kashmir used to be a historical epitome where scholars used to visit, study, and gain knowledge in different subjects. It was called Sarvajna Peetha (the seat or land of learning).

It has important implications for what types of research should be conducted (i.e., the types of questions asked) and how those research findings are interpreted and used by decision-makers and the public alike.     However, providing the research framework is more than accurate research findings to get insights on the following - Understanding of research Its knowledge-area-specific methods  Research-based writing, working from the first principles   What is the need for a research methodology?
