Pt. Baijnath Sharma Prachya Vidya Shodh Sansthan

A Centre for Research in Indian Knowledge Systems

Vision of Dr. Ashok Sharma

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Ashok Kumar Sharma

Dr. Ashok Kumar Sharma (1947–2012) was a visionary scholar and poet who spent his life uncovering the scientific depth of ancient Hindu scriptures. A retired Reader in Hindi from D.S. College, Aligarh, and a distinguished alumnus of Allahabad University, Dr. Sharma was a rare intellectual who bridged the gap between Vedic wisdom and modern physics. As the founder of the Pt. Baijnath Sharma Prachya Vidya Shodh Sansthan, he pioneered research into ancient Indian measurement systems and shared his findings on global stages across the USA, Canada, and Australia. Today, he is remembered not only for his prolific literary works like Jawahar Jyoti but as a devoted mentor who guided a generation of researchers in preserving India’s spiritual and scientific heritage.
