The objects of the Sanskrit Vishvavidyalaya (University) shall be -
1) To rejuvenate, cherish and disseminate the universal values, knowledge,
wisdom and vision presented in Sanskrit language and literature and establish a
progressive synthesis between ancient Indian wisdom and modern scientific
thought in harmony with the needs of today and tomorrow;
2) To develop and promote a system of education which aims at refining human
'sensitivities and perceptions that contribute to national cohesion, a
scientific temper and independence of mind and spirit with special emphasis on-
a. sublime relationship between the teacher and the taught (Guru-Shishya
Parampara - the noble Indian tradition indicative of a sense of deep gratitude
and reverence towards Acharayas who conferred the bliss of fulfilment on their
disciples in pursuit of learning, in quest of Truth);
b. innovative methods of studies and experimentation in which true spirit of
curiosity, search for knowledge (Jignyasha) and self-discipline (Svayam-Shasana)
are fundamental components; and
c. development of faculties, not only of empirical and rational views but also
of higher levels of consciousness that unifies the two;
3) To encourage and promote innovation, research and discovery in all fields of
Sanskrit learning which aims at linking the past with the present and enables
the nation to meet the challenges of the future;

life through inter-disciplinary approach; and impart this vision to the
teachers' community and key-persons working in other fields for reawakening and
regeneration of India;
5) To prepare bands of Acharyas imbibed with wisdom and vision of the Vedas who
are equally well conversant with Shad-darshanas, Western philosophy and modern
