VICASHonouring Scholars. Advancing Astrology.OUR VISION & MISSION
A shared direction for scholarship, heritage and service.
To become a respected international council for recognising excellence, preserving scholarly integrity and honouring meaningful contributions to Astrology and allied Vedic sciences.
We envision a global scholarly community in which authentic knowledge, responsible research, dedicated teaching and service to society receive the recognition they deserve.
VICAS is committed to:
Identifying and honouring individuals who have made distinguished contributions to Astrology and related fields of Vedic knowledge.
Promoting research, writing, teaching, documentation and the responsible development of traditional knowledge.
Recognising individuals who contribute to safeguarding classical texts, traditional practices and valuable knowledge systems.
Developing transparent and accountable procedures for nominations, verification, assessment and selection.
Welcoming scholarly contributions from individuals across geographical, cultural and linguistic boundaries.
Encouraging emerging scholars to pursue knowledge, research and service with dedication and integrity.
Recognition must be protected from commercial influence, favouritism and misrepresentation.
Achievements should be examined through evidence, professional knowledge and meaningful contributions.
Every eligible nomination deserves impartial consideration against clearly defined criteria.
Traditional knowledge, independent scholarship and diverse schools of thought deserve thoughtful consideration.
Every recognition must be supported by an appropriate evaluation and documentation process.
Knowledge gains greater significance when it contributes positively to individuals, communities and future generations.
“The true value of an honour lies not in the title received, but in the contribution that made the recognition deserved.”
VICAS stands for the recognition of scholarship with dignity, fairness and responsibility.
