About the Conference:
Preserved and inherited through oral tradition till
today, the Vedas are the largest volume of intangible heritage of
India. Its language, Samskrutam, is the most refined among all modern
and ancient living languages. Indian culture is Veda oriented at
large and Indian nature friendly way of life owes to the living
Vedas.
The Vedas, unlike the modern sciences, are gathered by the Rishis as
they intuited them. The Vedas are interpreted into two categories
viz. Para Vidya and Apara Vidya. Hence Veda Vidya denotes the
collective contents of the Vedas. To rediscover India’s knowledge
heritage it is necessary to decode them. Although many seem to have
intuited that the Vedas contain ultra modern scientific content, much
research has not taken place to decode the Vedic resources to verify
and/or falsify such intuitions and to validate seemingly successful
stray attempts to translate them into working theories and technological
models. The very coinage ‘Vedic Sciences’ needs to be defined in the
light of systematic content development and research with Vedic and
modern parameters. Obviously this demands understanding the Vedas in
the language of the  Vedas, which is Samskrutam, or else it may
otherwise get conditioned, crippled and contorted.

Do the Vedas contain scientific information? Are the Vedic technologies science based or are they mere artisan-ship? Do these have parallel  disciplines to modern sciences? Are they more advanced? Claims, if  any, are to be verified on the platform of modern science which  demands universal evidences and valid proof. Can the available  research data stand the test of modern science? Is modern science  perfect and refined enough to do this?

There is the need for a platform where young and dynamic researchers
who have Samskrutam and Science background are addressed regarding
the prospects of such a rewarding endeavor which would help
rediscover the Indian heritage on one hand and derive optimum
benefits for humankind on the other. The conference initiates the
efforts to create conducive research environment and develop relevant
methodology for this purpose.
