The Conference is intended to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers, to present and to review the results of their researches related to Vedic River Sarasvati and Hindu civilization to get the true story of ancient India. It may help us build harmony among all connected civilizations. Conference deliberations will be published; conference participants are requested to submit their papers (preferably in word doc. format) well in advance (on or before 30 June 2008) to enable the release of the Publication of Conference papers on the first day of the inauguration of the Conference, that is, 24 October 2008.
Background
Rebirth of River Sarasvati is ongoing and will reach Gujarat soon. Recent research perspectives from a number of disciplines have pointed to the importance of River Sarasvati as the fountain-head of Hindu civilization. The fact that the Vedas thrived on the banks of the River Saraswati is proved by the words of the Vedas, according to many Vedic scholars. It looks that many abiding Hindu traditions evolved from the Vedic foundations -- including svastika.
