As the title of the book suggests, the 33 articles included in this volume address various aspects of Indian cultural, philosophical and historical traditions epitomized mainly in Sanskrit language and literature. Today in our social life communalism, fanaticism and terrorism have been growing to an awful condition and consequently human values and reforms caused by renaissance are facing serious challenges. This situation breeds caste, creed, sex discriminations and contests, which are being strengthened by artificial religious symbols, rites and ceremonies. This hideous state of affairs is getting ready even to swallow the cultural heritage of India. So it is our prime duty to project Indian cultural heritage in its original splendor and greatness. These articles take this task in a humble way. An attempt is made in them to depart from the traditional way of approach with a rational outlook.
