Travel Grants For Five Scholars To Attend Sastra Sabha At Tenali

[Founder]

Since 2015, INDICA has been actively supporting scholars dedicated to the study, preservation, and propagation of Bharatiya knowledge traditions. As part of this, INDICA has been financially supporting the Tenali Pareekshaa conducted by Sudharma Rakshana Parishat, Tenali, which has been established as the gold standard in Bharat for certifying the completion of adhyayana—the study of shastras in the age-old guru-shishya parampara. Every convocation ceremony, including the certificate distribution and felicitation, is conducted in conjunction with a shaastra sabha, where foremost luminaries among shaastra gurus and shishyas deliver shaastric presentations in the traditional format. These presentations cover shastras such as Vedanta, Tarka, Vyakarana, Mimamsa, and allied Vedangas. For those who wish to witness such a rare confluence of great shaastra gurus and gain the benefit of an immersive, direct experience of their presentations, INDICA is pleased to announce Five Travel Grants of up to ₹20,000 to support scholars keen on attending the Sri Siva Sundara Sadguru Sastra Sabha, scheduled from March 8–10, 2025, at Sudharma Rakshana Parishat, Tenali, Andhra Pradesh.    Eligibility & Application Process Interested applicants should submit:  1.
