With the continued progress of globalization making communication, interaction, and opportunities more and more accessible, it is ever important to create spaces in which people can explore, study, and collaborate together for creative learning and expression. With an aim to instill such interdisciplinary learning and appreciation, the BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute strives to foster academic dialogue and public consciousness of in-depth, reverent scholarly research on Indian studies.
The BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute supports well-defined academic investigation in a wide range of disciplinary studies. It encourages both collaborative and individual scholarship that advances the expression, understanding, and appreciation of Indian culture, philosophy, religions, languages, and rich textual contributions. It further aims to encourage public awareness of both traditional and modern scholarly contributions.
Given these purposes, projects at the BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute typically fall into the following key categories:
Indian Cultural and Historical Studies
Indian Philosophical Thought
Indian Literary and Sacred Text Studies
Indian Language Studies
The BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute encourages academic research in these and other areas of Indian scholarship.
