Tantrayukti Aarti: An Innovative Melodic Memory of Tantrayukti

Tantrayukti, the systematic framework of logical and literary devices found in classical Sanskrit literature, particularly Ayurveda Samhitas, is an essential tool for textual interpretation, critical analysis, and knowledge organization. Despite its scholarly value, the memorization and contextual application of the thirty-six Tantrayuktis pose significant challenges for students due to their abstract and theoretical nature. This study presents an innovative pedagogical strategy—the Tantrayukti Aarti. It is a devotional style composition designed to enhance learning outcomes through rhythmic recitation and cultural engagement. Grounded in educational psychology and traditional Indian teaching methodologies, this approach fosters multisensory learning and deepens conceptual comprehension. The article discusses the rationale, composition process, and pedagogical impact of this model, highlighting its potential to integrate creativity into Ayurveda education while preserving ancient epistemological frameworks.
