Sanatan Dham · Global Sanatan Education
India’s own education, taught properly.
The formal academic system of ancient India — mathematics, astronomy, medicine, chemistry and metallurgy, linguistics, logic, architecture and statecraft — taught the way Takshashila and Nalanda taught it: a syllabus, an examination, a degree. Not scripture class. A curriculum, examined and certified.
The faculties
A formal academic system, not a scripture class
India ran universities with entrance examinations, faculties, residential scholars and degrees while most of the world had none. These are its subjects, each named with the work that defines it.
GanitaMathematics
Arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry — the decimal place value system and zero, Aryabhata’s Aryabhatiya, Bhaskaracharya’s Lilavati and Bijaganita.
Jyotisha & KhagolaAstronomy
Planetary motion, eclipses, the calendar and instruments — the Surya Siddhanta, Varahamihira’s Pancha Siddhantika, the observatories that followed from them.
AyurvedaMedicine and surgery
Diagnosis, pharmacology, anatomy and surgery — the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta’s Sushruta Samhita, which sets out surgical instruments and procedures.
RasashastraChemistry and metallurgy
Minerals, distillation, alloys and metal purification — the tradition behind India’s wootz steel and its rust-resistant iron.
VyakaranaLinguistics
Panini’s Ashtadhyayi: a complete generative grammar written in formal rules, studied today by linguists and computer scientists.
Nyaya & TarkaLogic and reasoning
Inference, evidence, definition and debate — the rules by which a claim is proved or refuted, and the method every other faculty argues in.
Vastu & ShilpaArchitecture and engineering
Planning, proportion, materials and construction — the manuals behind the temples, step-wells, reservoirs and cities.
ArthashastraEconomics and statecraft
Taxation, administration, law, trade and public works — Kautilya’s treatise on how a state is actually run.
Krishi & VanaspatiAgriculture and botany
Soils, seasons, seed, irrigation and plant classification — the science that fed the subcontinent.
The lineage. Takshashila, Nalanda, Vikramashila,
Valabhi, Odantapuri — residential universities with entrance
examinations, faculties and international students, centuries before the
universities of Europe. Sanatan Dham is rebuilding that system as a modern
curriculum: a syllabus, an examination, a certificate.
Where dharma sits. Scripture and dharma are one domain of
eight in the curriculum. This is an academic syllabus with a moral
grounding — not a religion class with some science attached.
The mapping
Compare it, level by level
What a school, a trade and a university teach today — and the Sanatan discipline and Sanskrit work behind each subject.
School educationFoundation to Class 12
19 subjects across CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, IB and the state boards, mapped subject by subject.
Vocational educationSkills to work
Nine pathways — Ayurveda assistant, yoga teacher, agriculture, heritage craft, Sanskrit teacher, classical arts, temple and festival management, pandit, jyotisha — each with the work it leads to.
Higher educationDegree and research
12 university fields from medicine and engineering to law, linguistics and mathematics, against the tradition each descends from.
Trace any claim
Three ways in, one set of records
Start from the subject you teach, the rishi you have heard of, or the book itself — each leads to the same evidence: who, what they did, when, where, in which text, and on whose authority.
By subjectMathematics → Ganita
Every school, vocational and university subject against the Sanatan discipline that holds it.
By personAryabhata, Panini, Sushruta
What each studied, what they contributed, and where that lands in a modern classroom.
By bookAryabhatiya, Ashtadhyayi
The Sanskrit works themselves — author, date, place, commentary and the subjects each carries.
What travelled
The world runs on this syllabus, mostly without saying so
The numbers you are readingDecimal place value and zero
Zero as a number, place value, and the rules for operating with them are set out by Aryabhata in the Aryabhatiya and by Brahmagupta in the Brahmasphuta Siddhanta. It is the arithmetic the whole world now uses.
TrigonometryJya — the sine function
The jya and utkrama-jya tables of the Surya Siddhanta and the Aryabhatiya are the origin of the sine function on every calculator and in every science.
Binary and combinatoricsPingala
Pingala’s treatise on metre sets out binary enumeration, the halving algorithm and the combinatorial triangle — the mathematics every computer is built on.
Formal grammarPanini to compilers
Panini’s Ashtadhyayi is a generative grammar of ordered rules, meta-rules and conflict resolution — the structure on which formal grammars, compilers and language technology are built.
SurgerySushruta
The forehead-flap nose reconstruction described in the Sushruta Samhita was carried out of India and entered world surgery under the name it still holds — the “Indian method”.
SteelRasashastra metallurgy
Indian crucible steel was made and exported for centuries, and the metallurgy behind it could not be reproduced anywhere else until the modern era.

The shelves are built. Classes are written and then approved by a certified pandit before anyone reads them — nothing appears here on a machine's say-so.
