        abstract = {Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is a man-made system created by the learned sages of India. It has been a secretariat for thousands of years. It is a scientific tradition that has been at the forefront of the problems of the whole world, including science, yoga, and Ayurveda. 
Sanskrit Language stands as the major treasure trove of systematic representation of this ancient body of knowledge. Therefore, the study of Sanskrit Language is one of the primary means by which the Indian Knowledge System can be learned through an academic perspective for preservation, promotion and modern relevance. Thus, both the history of preservation through study of Sanskrit Language and modern relevance of IKS which this research paper investigates aligns with results.
However, the foundations of IKS emerge from the Vedas, Upanishads, Itihasa-Puranas and relative Shastras where these texts do not exist as purely religious or purely empirical but instead studied through a logical approach, empirical applicability and practicality within the traditional Gurukul system and Shravana (hearing), Manana (reflecting), Nididhyasana (meditative contemplation) and memorization. Yet in the modern world, without a growing percentage of persons used to such literacy and transmission of knowledge skills patterns, limited curricular placement for 
Sanskrit traditional books have limited accessibility to ancient texts without or S within translation present So many challenges.
New challenges are met by a need for modernization of such studies at least under the wheels of responsible translating efforts, Digital Humanities and interdisciplinary scholarship since values stemming from sustainable efforts, holistic health and mental wellbeing and ethics grounded principles emerge from Sanskrit Language works connected to various modern-day problems. Therefore, the conclusion reached is that Sanskrit Language is more than a means of preservation through precursor tendencies, but a modern means of intellectual orientation guidance for the present and future.},
