Abstract: The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) embodies a rich confluence of philosophy, science, art, and spirituality, offering profound insights into human existence and the cosmos. This paper explores the philosophical dimensions of IKS, emphasizing its relevance in bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary needs. Key philosophical traditions such as Vedanta, Nyaya, and Sankhya are examined to uncover their contributions to critical thinking, ethical frameworks, and holistic well-being. The study highlights how IKS principles, such as interconnectedness (Advaita), balance (Rta), and self-realization (Atman), provide solutions to modern challenges like environmental degradation, mental health crises, and cultural fragmentation. By integrating these timeless concepts with present-day educational, scientific, and societal contexts, the paper argues for the revitalization of IKS as a guiding framework for sustainable development and cross-cultural understanding. The philosophical insights drawn underscore the enduring value of IKS in shaping a future rooted in wisdom, inclusivity, and harmony.
