About WCCIKSH-2023
WCCIKSH, is planned to bring together scholar, pandits, academicians and industry experts in the field of Indian knowledge and Sanskrit to a common forum.
The aim of this conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion among Researchers, Philosophers, and Scientists of Sciences, Engineering, Technology, Management, Architecture, Medicines, Social Sciences, and Humanities in order to promote research and exchange of knowledge in Sanskrit, Vedic maths, astrology, astronomy, Ayurveda, Indian Agriculture, Indian food processing systems, Indian Technology, Indian Management, Indian Literature, Indian Arts, and Indian Social systems from Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas. Yoga, Meditation, and learning from great epics will enthuse the participants to undertake high-end research in the above thrust areas.
Sanskrit is one of the greatest gifts of India to the world. Hailed as the language of Gods, Sanskrit is enmeshed with rich Indian heritage. As the classical language of India and its literature, it represents a continuous cultural tradition from the time of the Vedas during the second millennium B.C.E. until the present. It is through Sanskrit that India has been expressing herself abundantly and increasingly for centuries, and its future rests much on this most dynamic language. For thousands of years, ancient traditions and knowledge were passed on from generation to generation exclusively through one language - Sanskrit.
Perhaps, there is no language in India that can overtake the place of Sanskrit because no other language has the same intimate contact with the inner spirit of our lives. Ancient Indian wisdom has the potential to provide contextual alternatives which are well-preserved in Sanskrit. It has a profound influence on our culture as our ancient seers and poets through their immortal works have shown us the moral values to lead a noble meaningful life.
