Could you please post the Gurbani Tuks where there is a mention of 16 vidiyas.......If I am not wrong, there are only 14 Vidyas unless it has been mentioned in Gurbani.....you might be talking about 16 kala (GODLY powers). das Edited March 29, 2010 by das 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manpaal Singh Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 it would be great to compile a list of all of the vidyas as well as granths which teach them for those of us who whould like to learn them. we are losing alot of the vidya today, partly because we are lazy and also because of lack of awareness (both of the actual vidya and of resources or teachers). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manpaal Singh Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 pal07 - the shabad you referred to is talking about 16powers of god. this is different to the 14 different vidyas. its definitely 14, i checked the sohail parkash, in the tatkara it says 14 vidyas, but im finding it quite hard to find a list, as it isnt organised well in the pdf, its not done by chapter. my panjabi isnt that great either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just telling another Singh about this today! 14 Vidya (Techniques) 64 Kala (Art forms) 14 Vidya (techniques) consist of - 4 Ved : Rugved Samved Yajurved Atharvaved 4 Upved : Arthashastra : An ancient Indian Hindu treatise on statecraft, economic policy and military strategy which identifies its author by the names Kautilya and Vishnugupta. Dhanurved : The term derives from the words for bow (dhanushya) and knowledge (veda), literally the "science of archery". Gandharvaveda : An ancient Indian treatise on the performing arts, encompassing theatre, dance and music. Ayurveda : The word ayurveda consists of the words ayus, meaning "longevity", and veda, meaning "related to knowledge" or "science". Thus Ayurveda is the science of life. 6 Vedange : There are six Vedangas: Shiksha (phonetics), Kalpa (rituals), Vyakarana (grammar), Jyotishya (astronomy), Nirukta (etymology) and Chhandas (metrics). These are mentioned in the Upanishads. Shiksha : Shiksha is one of the six Vedangas, treating the traditional Hindu science of phonetics and phonology of Sanskrit. Its aim is the teaching of the correct pronunciation of the Vedic hymns and mantras. Kalpa : One of the six disciplines of Vedanga, treating ritual. Vyakaran : The Sanskrit grammatical tradition of vyakarana is one of the six Vedanga disciplines. It has its roots in late Vedic India, and includes the famous work, Astadhyayi, of Panini. Nirukta : Nirukta ("explanation, etymological interpretation") is one of the six Vedanga disciplines of Hinduism, treating etymology, particularly of obscure words, especially those occurring in the Vedas.

amardeep Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Sorry I was mistaken. In regards to the Anandpur darbar, it is Kavi Santokh Singh and he talks about the writings produced falling into the category of the 9 rasas. I apologize for mixing things up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
