3.The Aryan Problem - A Linguistic Approach.
This paper takes note of the linguistic speculations of the western philologists that led to the formulation of the Aryan Problem. On studying Sanskrit, they came to know that there was a great deal of similarity between Sanskrit and the other Principal Languages of Europe, but their superiority complex and racial, cultural and sectarian (religious) bias came on the way of acknowledging the influence of Sanskrit on their languages. The paper discards the entity of postulated Proto Indo-European language and questions the validity of all such attempts as establish sisterly relationship between Sanskrit and the other principal Indo-European Languages. The paper observes that the other Indo-European Languages owe their origin to Sanskrit as much a later stage of linguistic development when Prakritas were taking from in India.

22.Bhakti Movement - A Great Hindu Revival.
This paper tries to redefine the Bhakti movement. Bhakti movement was not only for devotionalism, but it marked a great Hindu revival or awakening against the Muslim rule and the proselytizing influence of Islam in this country. The most revealing factor of this movement was that it was led by the great saints of this country, who realised the far reaching consequences of being enslaved by the foreigners and Islamisation of this country. Sufis were not the philosopher as is often held, but the staunch missionaries of Islam. Thus it be maintained that right from 8th century till 17th century, Bhakti movement dominated the scene as a struggle against Islam. It was only in 19th century that the impact of Christianity challenged the Hinduism again which resulted into yet another cultural renaissance led by Arya Samaja, Brahmo Samaja, Devo Samaja etc.

23.Vaisheshika's Three Forms of Energy.
According to the Vedic scientists represented by Kanada of Vaisheshika philosophy, the present creation composed of both Prak‚ti (matter) and Puru-a (consciousness) is sustained by three forms of Sanskaras. In fact, the term Sanskara in Vaisheshika philosophy is corresponding to the modern term of energy. The three SaŠskaras described in Vaisheshika philosophy are : (1) Sthitisthapaka (2) Vega and (3) Bhavna. Sthitisthapaka Sanskara is akin to that of potential energy. Whereas Vega SaŠskara is similar to that of kinetic energy. The third Bhavana SaŠskara is the psychic energy which is quite new to the modern science. If energy is defined in terms of ability to do work, Bhavana SaŠskara or psychic energy will provide unlimited ability to do work. Through one's mental power attained through the regular practice of Yoga, one can do any work. He can send messages to any part of globe or to other planets if the need be. He can read even other person's mind and is able to materialize any thing at his will. SaŠskara has been counted in Vaisheshika Darshana among the Gu‡as or qualities. Hence it is easy to infer that Vedic scientists never took energy as independent entity as is considered in the modern science. Guna or attribute is always dependent upon the Guni, the Almighty. Shakti is the dharma of shaktimana. Thus Vedic philosophers never think of creation without its creator.

24.A Study into Phonemicization of Vedic and Classical Sanskrit.

25.War Technique in Mahabharata,
The paper proves that nuclear weapons were used in Mahabharata war. Science and technology during Mahabharata period was far in advance. A careful examination of Mahabharata show that different types of offensive and defensive weapons were used in Mahabharata war. Their operation was fully under control of the operator. The operator was equipped with such capabilities as could withdraw the operate weapon if the need be. The missiles generally returned to their point of operation after successfully hitting the target. Mantrika operation was generally preferred instead of Yantrika or mechanical operation. During the Vedic period military science was so advance that combat weapons were also developed to neutralize the effect of certain Divine weapons, e.g.
1.Nagastra was combated with the help of Garudastra.
2.Bhargvastra was combat weapon for the Mahendrastra.
tharava‡astra could be combated by Agneyastra.
Î-ikastra was combated with the help of Brahmastra.
Effect of Pramohanastra was neutralized with the help of Prajnastra.
¶ganeyastra was combated with the help of Varu‡astra.
Combating Linguistic Problems in Hindi
The some of the problems reported by the learners of Hindi involve pronunciation of sounds, handling of nasality, placement of moras, clustering or combining of consonants. These problems of Hindi language can better be addressed in view of the principles of articulation, rules of placement of moras, rules of syllabication and syllabic structure prevalent in Sanskrit/Prakritas to which it owes its structure. The present paper, as it does, takes into consideration such linguistic tendencies of Hindi language as are posing a challenge to the learners of Hindi and tries to provide an insight into them in view of their treatment in the parent languages.


26.Reviving the Age Old Historical Tradition of India.
The westerners came here with the whole and sole mission to rule this country which was rich in all respects. They wanted to propagate their religion so that the people of this ancient most civilization may also be converted into their fold. To rule this country politically, it was necessary for them to establish their racial, ideological and historical superiority upon the people of this country. That is why there was a deliberate attempt on the part of European intelligentsia in the 17th and 18th century to present a distorted picture of Indian history, culture and literature, so that an intellectual crisis might be declared in this country. The present paper sets aside all such accusations against India and Indian history as are unfounded and suggests some ways and means for the revival of the age-old historical tradition of Bharata incorporated and preserved safely in Pura‡as, in the records of Panjikaras or Pa‡Ças existing at all the famous Tirtha sthalas of India and in the traditions of Magadhas and SÊtas, who were given the liability of teaching and preaching the history of our country. In this very chain Kathavacakas, Carakas, Bhatas, Mirasis, Vrittalekhakas' tradition may also not be overlooked who produced the literature based on real history.

27.Science and Technology in Mahabharata
This paper proves that nuclear weapons were used in Mahabharata war. Science and technology during Mahabharata period was far in advance.
