Spirit Of India- 2020

Theme- Vaigyanik Bharat/ Scientific India

Visiting Ancient Sciences of India seemed most important topic to be explored during Global Pandemic. Indian scriptures have one of the oldest records of natural herbs and medicines, details of Human mechanism and understanding of Health in a holistic way.

This topic allowed us to revisit these ancient Indian insights and relate it to existing everyday science. inclusion of talks from other ancient cultures, broadened the scope of this topic,
