Abstract

This research paper delves into the profound contributions of the Indian knowledge system (IKS), specifically focusing on Vedic Mathematics and Astronomy. The paper explores the historical context, foundational principles and contemporary relevance of these ancient disciplines. Vedic Mathematics, rooted in the Vedas, offers a unique approach to mathematical calculations, emphasizing simplicity and mental agility. Vedic Astronomy, on the other hand, reflects the advanced understanding of celestial phenomena by ancient Indian scholars. The paper also examines the interplay between these disciplines and their impact on modern science and education. Through a comprehensive analysis, this research aims to highlight the enduring legacy of Vedic knowledge and its potential to inspire future innovations.
