किंचिज्जीवति शिल्पेन ऋते कर्म न जीवति॥
One lives in superabundance when one has wealth; one lives happily by learning; one lives in a normal manner by skills; but one does not live at all when there is no work to do.

Overview
As a premier Institution in the field of research, KSRI has involved itself actively in the pursuit of excellence in its field of specialisation. In order to remain competitive and abreast of the requirement of Scholars, it is essential that the enhancement of Knowledge and Professional Expertise are maintained at a sufficiently higher level.
There is an imperative need for documentation and publishing the papers among the Peer Group to maintain the standards expected of the Institution. In this endeavour, KSRI had been and is actively involved in the field of publication.
The Journal of Oriental Research
Initiated by Professor S. Kuppuswami Sastri in 1927, the 'Journal of Oriental Research' is a reputed internationally acclaimed magazine covering various aspects involved in Sanskrit and Indological studies. The publication of this magazine was entrusted to the Institute from 1944. 91 Volumes of the journal have been published so far. The Journal, admittedly reputed for original research and scientific investigation, carries general, critical and research articles on diverse indological subjects. Some rare texts, critically edited and appear serially as supplementary to the original volumes later get published as independent books.

Books and Monographs are being published periodically as an endeavour to promote Sanskrit and Indological Studies. They cover a wide range of subjects which include Vedic Studies, Yoga, Literature, Language, Grammar, Philosophy, Religion, Mathematics, Astronomy, Astrology, Medical Science, Ayurveda, Arthasastra, Purva Mimamsa, Advaita, Nyaya, Vaishnavism, Saivism, Arts, Science, etc. Around 100 Books and Monographs including critical editions of hitherto unpublished manuscripts on different aspects of Sanskrit and Indology have also been published so far.
