Welcome to UNIKAA 2024
Indian Knowledge, rooted in Ayurveda, Medicine, and the Philosophy of Gita, finds expression in the timeless epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, serving as pillars of Asian culture. These scriptures, spanning centuries, hold global significance, influencing literature, art, and management worldwide. The fundamental Indian epics, profoundly shape South Asian culture and civilization, bearing immense cultural, political, and artistic significance globally. The Valmiki Ramayan verse 2.35 highlights its relevance as follows:
यावत् स्थ ास्यान्ति गिरयः सररतश्च महीतले। तावद् रामायणकथा लोकेषु प्र चररष्यगत ॥
It means “The story of Ramayana will remain popular in the world as far as there are mountains and rivers on the earth”. Adapted to various Southeast Asian cultures, they inspire virtues of duty, sacrifice, and love, fostering moral guidance and business ventures.
The upcoming conference explores the dissemination of Indian Knowledge, encompassing holistic health, cultural heritage, and spiritual narratives. Through discussions on archaeology, yoga, and literature, the conference aims to bridge ancient wisdom with modern practices, fostering innovation and dialogue. It celebrates the enduring legacy of Indian Knowledge, uniting diverse cultures and generations to pursue enlightenment and cultural preservation.
