Indian Science In The Pre - Adi Sankara Period

Pages: 236

H.H. Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji
A bundle of information can be termed as knowledge if and why only if it delivers universal welfare. Veda the book of knowledge is thus a universal document which descended to earth along with the race of humans and it contains all secrets of nature including arts and sciences which are conducive to universal peace. None in the universe can claim or disclaim ownership on Veda. Every one has to understand it.

It is good that the institute of scientific research on Vedas (I-S.E.R.V.E) is striving hard to explore the scientific aspects of the Veda in the interest of universal welfare. The present international conference on Indian Sciences in the Pre-Adisankara Period is a humble step forward in that direction. It is pleasant that M/S Neuland Laboratories limited are collaborating in organizing this conference. A lot is yet to be done and may the goal be reached soon.

May lord Dattatreya the embodiment of knowledge bless these efforts with uninterrupted continuity to success and the organizers paper presenters participants and the volunteers of this noble task with peach and prosperity.
