Publisher's Synopsis
World Association for Vedic Studies (WAVES) is a multidisciplinary academic society. The Vedas remain a living and formative source of the culture and tradition of Sanatana Dharma. Vedic contributions are found in all fields of human endeavor. WAVES conferences have been held every two years since 1996. The peer-reviewed Proceedings of the 2018 conference given in this volume continue this tradition with nearly 50 papers across disciplines showing the increasing relevance of Vedic contributions as science and technology allow deeper understanding.
