Dr. Reeja B. Kavanal (1961) daughter of Dr. Bhas Kavanal and Smt. Chandramathy A.G took her Master’s Degree (1983) in Sanskrit from Govt. Sanskrit College, Trippunithura, Eranakulam (University of Kerala) and PhD (1992) in Sanskrit under the guidance of Dr. C. Rajendran from University of Calicut.

She has also edited and published another book The Role of Sanskrit Literature in Indian Renaissance (2016). At present she is working as Professor of Sanskrit Sahitya, at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, Kerala.

All of the papers compiled here were originally presented at various National and International Seminars. Many of them, subsequently, were also published in Journals like Calicut University Research Journal, Purnatrayi, Malayalam Literary Survey, Dhimahi and Journal of Mythical Society. As the title of the book suggests, the papers address various aspects of Indian cultural, philosophical and historical traditions epitomized mainly in Sanskrit language and literature. An attempt is made in them to depart from the traditional way of approach with a rational outlook.

We shall consider ourselves to be amply rewarded if this book is of some use to people who are genuinely interested in India's cultural legacy.
