Physics materials, tools and formula from Vedas to ventures challenges incorporating Indian Knowledge system

The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) refers to a diverse array of scientific knowledge, practices, and techniques that have been developed and utilized in India for millennia, some of which predate even modern-day discoveries. Vedic Physics: Materials and Influences on Science It is complemented by these advanced studies in metallurgy, astronomy, and mathematics, found in such ancient Vedic texts as the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Sulba Sutras, which also probe the nature of matter, energy, and space. These systems provided the basis for today’s scientific method, but when it comes to incorporating individual knowledge systems (IKS) into present-day science, there are significant hurdles, including language, lack of standardization, and institutional reluctance to accommodate IKS in existing structures and processes. Nonetheless, there is increasing interest in IKS’s potential to contribute towards sustainable energy, architecture, agriculture, and healthcare. The paper proposes a pathway for innovation, framing the narrative around IKS as a means of ensuring sustainability solutions across scientific domains through interdisciplinary collaboration between traditional forms of knowledge and modern enterprises.
