The present volume comprises papers presented in the National Seminar on Vedic World View and Modern Science organised by the Department of Sanskrit Dr. H.S. Gour University, Sagar.

The idea of this seminar was to explore the scientific perspectives of Vedas, and to delve deeply into the Vedic lore from the view point of modern scientific acumen by bringing together the scientists and the pundits on the podium.

Vedic seers have unravelled the mysteries of life and creation through their intuition. It has to be investigated whether the ancient wisdom can widen the horizons of modern scientific thought and open new vistas.

It is hoped that the ideas presented in the papers collected here will generate further quarries and fruitful discussions.
