INTRODUCTION

India is the land of sages, mystics, yogis, philosophers, educators and scientists. Her culture, which is the heritage and legacy of all these great people, is immortal and eternal. We Indians in particular and Orientals in general, believe that we have rich traditions, enriched customs, and rational habits. But rest of the world believes that we are superstitious, gullible, impoverished, sadistic, ignorant barbarians ready to be cultivated in to civilized populations in third millennium. India not only is the place where major religions Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism evolved but also the only savior and guardian angel for millions of human beings belonging to persecuted faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and various persecuted branches of Islamic faith namely Ahamadiya, Bahai, and Agakhani to live and practice their religion and prosper in harmony and peace. Today, in the name of modernism and for necessity of globalism, India, her tolerance, her customs, her faiths her values and finally her integrity as sovereign nation are questioned by the vested interest groups. Most of the explanations provided by many scholars, social scientists, behavioral scientists, and nationalists created more questions than answers, more laughter than thought, more a feeling of suspicion and fictitious than reason and logic. In many cases, the research is either not concertedly pursued or disengaged midstream due to lack of encouragement, guidance, funding, direction, and partly also due to the discouragement from uninterested individuals. Most often, the researchers are pursuing similar tracks as what others are doing or something that has already been done. Often, however, when genuine research concluded, the findings went unnoticed due to language barriers, and academic bias. The disconnect between Vedic Scholars / Researchers and the current scientific community is really disheartening. This conference is a mundane human attempt to bring the Vedic scholars, scientists and research scholars together to protect the sovereignty and great cultural and scientific heritage of our country. To pass this message to our young and future generations so that they will come out the misconception that our culture is superstitious, gullible, impoverished and sadistic. Along with the above to realize the great philosophical and advanced scientific perspective of our great culture which establishes the concept vasudhaiva kutumbakam
