About The Book: The Thirty-Two Vidyā-s by K. Narayanaswami Aiyar is a scholarly exposition on the traditional Indian classification of knowledge systems, known as "vidyās" or sciences. Drawing from ancient Hindu scriptures, Aiyar outlines and explains each of the thirty-two vidyās, which encompass spiritual, philosophical, ritualistic, and practical domains of learning. He explores how these diverse forms of knowledge—from grammar and logic to metaphysics and sacred arts—contribute to holistic education and spiritual evolution. The work reflects Aiyar’s mission to illuminate the richness of India’s intellectual heritage, showing how these ancient disciplines remain relevant for understanding consciousness, ethics, and human development today.
