Abstract


Indian Civilization is known for its ancient Indian Texts in Sanskrit and Pali. All the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishad, Agamas, Samhitas, etc. Texts are known for their contribution in Indian Civilization and Culture. These are not only the Religious Texts for the particular society rather they are the Texts, which shows the way; How to live human life in this Universe. The most significant theory of Rasa, and Bhava has appeared in the Taittiriya Upanishad. Common man thinks that these are only the Religious Texts, which may liberate us but these are not only for one aspect of life rather they deal with Totality of Life. Even the Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Medicines and various aspects of Philosophy and Psychology are deeply ischolar_mained in such Texts. The known Texts are Samarangana Sutradhara a study of Vastu Shastra architecture and all the Shilpa Shastras Texts, Vishnudharmottara Purana deals with Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Similarly Agni Puran, Markandeya Puran, Vayu Purana, Garuda Purana, Skanda Purana and Matsya Purana etc. deals with astronomy, psychology, art, iconography and architecture in many Adhyas.
