Highlights of JUNE 2025

1.The Necessity to Study Vedānta in Contemporary Times – A Talk by Dr. J. Suryanarayana in Honour of Prof.Pullela Sriramachandrudu garu – (25-06-25)

Dr.Jammalamadaka Suryanarayana garu felt immensely happy and deeply honoured to participate in the memorial lecture dedicated to one of the most inspirational figures in his life,Prof.Pullela Sriramachandrudu garu.His towering scholarship,clarity of thought,and lifelong dedication to Sanskrit studies have shaped not only his understanding of Vedanta but also his commitment to preserving our profound intellectual traditions.

During this session,he shared his reflections on “Vedanta: Always Relevant,” highlighting how ancient insights into reality,illusion,and consciousness continue to guide our lives today.The presentation explored ideas from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad and other timeless sources, conveying the enduring value of Vedantic wisdom in navigating both personal and collective challenges.

The organizers and audience received the talk with utmost happiness,which further reaffirmed the conviction that the teachings of great Acharyas like Prof. Sriramachandrudu will keep inspiring generations to come.

2.Tarkasangraha Tutorial Video Series By Chi.Kalaga Achyut Sarma

With great joy,we present to you the Tarkasaṅgraha tutorial series,featuring the recitation of each sūtra by Chi.Kalaga Achyut Sarma.

This introductory video features Dr.Jammalamadaka Suryanarayana garu,who offers his insights and guidance for those embarking on this journey of learning.

We warmly invite you to subscribe to our YouTube channel to follow the series and learn at your own pace,in a traditional and structured manner.

Kindly find the English translation of this introductory video below:

Namaskāraṃ to all! Namaḥ Cāṇḍikāyai! Śrīgurubhyo namaḥ!

There is a popular saying:

“Kāṇādam Pāṇinīyaṃ ca sarvaśāstropakārakam” — “The teachings of Kaṇāda (Nyāya–Vaiśeṣika) and Pāṇini (Vyākaraṇa) are instrumental in understanding all other śāstras.”

Just as salt is essential for flavor in food,in the same way,a sound understanding of Pāṇini’s Vyākaraṇa and Tarkaśāstra is crucial for grasping any śāstra thoroughly and conveying it clearly to others.

In traditional Gurukulas and the realm of śāstras,the study of Tarkaśāstra typically begins with Tarkasaṅgraha, composed by Śrī Annambhaṭṭa.This concise text, structured in about 300 short sentences,offers a gentle and accessible introduction to the subject.

Kāṇṭhasthīkaraṇa (committing to memory) of these sentences is highly beneficial — it not only deepens one’s grasp of Tarkaśāstra, but also enhances the study of other śāstras and cultivates a tattvika dṛṣṭi (philosophical worldview).

With this intent,Kameswari Foundation brings to you the Tarkasaṅgraha Recitation Tutorial, recited by Chi. Kalaga Acyuta Śarmā.Each sentence is recited twice,enabling learners to repeat and practice effectively.

We hope you find this tutorial helpful and that it makes learning the Tarkasaṅgraha text easier.

Namaḥ Cāṇḍikāyai!
