In the annals of Indian Philosophy, lies the cornerstone of Justice permeating every facet of life. Beyond religious paradigms, the societal evolution of cultural ethos finds its mooring in logical constructs. Across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain philosophies, the Indian sutras delve deep into "ANVEKSHIKI," the science of inquiry in pursuit of truth. Dating back to 1000 BC, Indian literature and philosophy have been enriched by the practice of Darshanshastra. The evolution of Indian "Abhidharana" has been a protracted journey, notably exemplified by "Nyaysutra Abhidharana," painstakingly crafted by Bapu Sarvagod over 25 years of diligent research encompassing Indian Philosophy, Literature, Natya Shastra, Sangeet Ratnakar, History of Indian Logic, Cinema, Art, Architecture, Political Science, Socio-cultural dynamics, Archaeology, Aesthetics, Agriculture, and Cinema.

The epistemological progression of the Indian audience in both Cinema and Literature is currently undergoing a transformative phase. Bapu Sarvagod endeavors to illuminate the profound philosophical underpinnings of genuine Indian Literature, Music, and Natyashastra, serving as the bedrock of Indian cinema. The concept of "Nyaysutra Abhidharana Sanksar" is a testament to Sarvagod's extensive teaching experience in Scriptwriting and Concept Development at W.R.I.C, Mumbai University, facilitated through the Senseindia Foundation Media Research and Education Forum. Engaged in the realms of scriptwriting and film direction, Sarvagod recognized the dire need for guiding creative thinkers with a robust intellectual foundation.

The comprehension of philosophical and spiritual tenets in storytelling emerges as the quintessential asset for filmmakers and writers. Sarvagod has devoted his life to advancing the philosophical acumen of Indian filmmakers grounded in Indian Logic. Every film training course now underscores the essence of Indian Philosophy and Darshanshastra. Despite being a commercial art form, cinema remains one of the most influential platforms necessitating enlightenment for catalyzing social change.
