It is aimed at giving a holistic experience to humanity, in the material and spiritual dimension both. In material sphere; chemistry, astronomy, physics and mathematics was highly developed. In health sciences apart from Yoga and Pranayama, that contribute to the physical and mental health, there are textual evidences of surgery. The system of validation of knowledge was also evolved like, pratyksha and anumana. The tribes of the North East India had evolved the traditional system of water conservation. Though that some of the practices are often dismissed as mere ritualism actually contain profound scientific understanding of human physiology, psychology, and environmental dynamics.
