Exploring the book ‘Elements of Indian Knowledge Systems and Heritage’, this review highlights the book’s distinctive presentation of Indic thought through the idea of cycles and the preservation of ṛtam-satyam. From dharma and the four states of consciousness to yoga, vidyā, kalā, puruṣārthas and aesthetics, the review traces how the book connects seemingly diverse aspects of Indian civilisation. Its use of analogies and practical activities makes complex concepts accessible while presenting IKS as an interconnected way of life.
