• 11th to 13 th of January 2011 -  A National Seminar on ‘Indian
                                                       Hermenuetics :Theory & Application’
  
  The word ‘Hermeneutics’ stands for ‘the branch of knowledge concerned with interpretation, especially of the Bible or literary texts.’ Hence the expression ‘Indian Hermeneutics’ refers to Purvamimamsa, which is ‘the science of sentence interpretation’, originally meant for the interpretation of the Vedic sentences. This system evolved different principles of interpreting a discourse as it treated the Veda as an autonomous text or discourse. These principles were so useful that later on these were utilized by all systems of Indian Philosophy, Poetics, Grammar and even the Dharmasastra.
  
  Thus, the theoretical part of Hermeneutics concerns itself with the original Purvamimamsa principles and its application is found in different systems mentioned above. In this context our Center of Advanced Study in Sanskrit is going to organize a National seminar on Indian Hermeneutics : Theory and Application in the month of January 2011.
  
  This seminar aims at focusing the contribution of Indian Hermeneutics in both its aspects: theoretical as well as practical. This, in turn, will bring out the exact scope of the same.
