SYNTHESIS OF WISDOM (INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPLORATIONS OF INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS)

This volume of proceedings is a curated compilation of select research papers presented during a landmark conference on Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). It serves as a testament to the interdisciplinary richness and timeless relevance of India’s intellectual traditions. The collected works span a wide spectrum of themes, including Vedic cosmology, Ayurveda, Indian logic (Anvikshiki), classical arts, ancient mathematics and astronomy, architecture, ecology, education, linguistics, and more, reflecting the depth and diversity of scholarly engagement with India’s cultural and scientific heritage. Contributors to this volume include researchers, educators, scientists, and traditional scholars who explore the philosophical, scientific, and aesthetic dimensions of IKS through both historical and contemporary lenses. The discussions are grounded in foundational texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, S??khya K?rik?, Vai?e?ika S?tra, Ny?ya S?tra, ?ulbas?tras, ?ryabha??ya, and S?rya Siddh?nta, yet they also engage with current challenges in education, sustainability, mental health, and technology. By bridging ancient wisdom with modern inquiry, this volume highlights how IKS offers not only insights into the past but also practical frameworks for addressing present and future societal needs. The book emphasizes that Indian knowledge traditions are not relics of history, but dynamic systems capable of contributing to cutting-edge research and holistic development. Ideal for scholars, students, and educators across disciplines, this compilation invites readers to rediscover India's intellectual legacy and explore its profound potential in building a sustainable, inclusive, and innovative future.
