Dīpaśikhā (ISSN: 2583-5629)

A Half-yearly e-Magazine of the Dept. of Sanskrit and Philosophy, RKMVERI (Deemed University)

The Department of Sanskrit and Philosophy of the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute (Deemed to be University as declared by the Government of India under section 3 of UGC Act) is so much into promotion and propagation of Saṃskṛta (Sanskrit) language and the treasure buried under the unfathomable depth of the ocean of Indian Knowledge System. This half yearly e-magazine Dīpaśikhā i.e. the flame of a lamp is meant to shed a soft glow on the treasure trove hidden in the Śāstras and the Sanskrit literature. The lamp serves the world when the Sun leaves it and the Moon is not there to shred the deep darkness. Dīpaśikhā presents the highest philosophical ideas in Sanskrit, so that the idea and respect can be spread at the same time.

The name of Dīpaśikhā is after the famous poet Kālidāsa who is known as Dīpaśikhā Kālidāsa for his well-known simile.

This is an open platform for all. Anybody can write on any topic irrespective of Science, Humanities, Commerce and so on. The language should be Sanskrit. It is also a platform for creative writing, fine art, photography etc. Dīpaśikhā will present your talent to the world just on a click.

A dedicated team of some research scholars of the department assisted by the faculty members edit the magazine under the supervision of Dr. Rakesh Das.
