The Present volume is the first attempt at
exploring the 'essence' and blossoming of some fundamental concepts. These constitute the
foundation of complex structures which emerge in diverse disciplines ranging from biology
and medicine to mathematics and metaphysics, governing aesthetic theories and artistic
expressions. Other terms such as LAKSANA and SILPA, indicate process and manifestation at
the level of form.
This preliminary volume contains eight major
articles on the following concept : Brahman (absolute), Purusa (man), Atman (essence of
everything), Sarira (body), Prana (life breath), Bija (seed), Laksana( Sign) and Silpa
(arts and crafts).

The contributors to this volume are Bettina
Baumer, Prem Lata Sharma, H.N.Chakravarty, K.D.Tripathi and R.N.Misra.
