Exploring Indian Knowledge System: Veda and Life Science explores into the profound and ancient wisdom embedded within the IKS, particularly through the lens of the Vedas. The Vedas, ancient sacred texts, are not merely spiritual guides but encompass a vast range of subjects, including life sciences, health, astronomy, psychology, and mathematics. This book aims to uncover the intricate relationships between these ancient concepts and modern scientific understanding, revealing the relevance of Vedic knowledge to contemporary issues like sustainability, human consciousness, and holistic health. The Vedic texts provide insights into the interconnectedness of all life forms, with emphasis on ecological balance, sustainable living, and the intricate web of natural forces governing life. Ayurveda, for instance, is an ancient life science derived from the Vedas, which emphasizes the importance of balance—between body, mind, and environment—long before the advent of modern biology or medical science.
