The mission of Muktabodha
Indological Research Institute is to recover and preserve endangered
treasures of India's religious and philosophical wisdom and make them
accessible for study and scholarship, and ultimately as a resource for
humanity. Muktabodha's primary projects are:
|
| · |
Muktabodha
Digital Library: an on-line digital library of rare Sanskrit
texts & e-texts, initially focused on Kashmir Shaivism, then
broadening to Trika-Kaula, Saiva-Siddhanta, Pancaratra, Natha Yoga and
other tantric works, in addition to manuscripts on Vedic Shrauta ritual. |
| · |
Swami
Muktananda Vedashala: a traditional oral school of Vedic
study in Maharashtra, India that preserves and documents practice of
the highly endangered Hiranyakeshi branch of the Taittiriya Krishna
Yajur Veda, and the Govardhani style of Ranayaniya Sama Veda recitation. |
| · |
Publication
of translations and commentaries on significant texts of these
knowledge systems. |
The potential loss of such wisdom is akin to an
ecological crisis. Therefore Muktabodha
is actively employing both traditional methods and modern
technology to help ensure that this knowledge is preserved and made
accessible to scholars, students and practitioners both now and for
generations to come. |
