IISH is a band of dedicated volunteers who have taken it up, to 
spread the nectarine glory of Indian Heritage and Culture as taught 
by the Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage (IISH) through the 
noble path of learning and teaching, please visit www.iish.org 

Most Indians and Persons of Indian Origin, will accept that we have 
been having a woefully matter of fact approach to the rich treasure 
we have inherited by way of Heritage and Culture.

Indian Heritage and Culture is "chira purathanam" (older than the 
oldest), "nitya-noothanam" (ever novel in vision and application) 
and therefore "Sanathanam" or perpetual. 

If our Heritage and Culture have stood the test of time for over ten 
thousand years (10,000 YEARS) and has been handed over to us, in 
spite of a variety of onslaughts, it becomes our bounden duty to 
hand it over to the generations that follow, in even better health 
and vigour. 

Just a change of attitude on our part would suffice. 

The IISH is doing yeomen service spreading the glory of Indian 
Heritage and Culture worldwide, starting from a humble beginning in 
1999, the IISH has spread its reach worldwide. We have all heard of 
globalization of technology, products, markets, people and finance 
in the realms of matter, this is a stunning case of phenomenal 
success in spreading Indian Heritage and Culture. This is like the 
genie that can never be put back in the bottle.

Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage was established on the 
Sravana Pournami day in August 1999. The objectives of the Institute 
are:
·       Learning and teaching the scientific and cultural heritage 
of India with a scientific vision. 
·       Bringing documents like books, audiocassettes, films, CDs, 
etc for learning and teaching the heritage. 
·       Conducting seminars, study classes, academic level 
competitions, etc., for fulfilling the missions of the Institute. 
·       Giving a clear understanding of the superstitions and taking 
the mission of removing the superstition from the day-to-day life of 
the people by scientific teaching. 
·       Giving the substantiated scientific proof on the merits of 
the acharas (customs) and rituals, which were followed by Indians 
for many millennia 
·       Clearly separating the duracharas/anaacharas (superstitions) 
from the scientific acharas and explaining about the merits on their 
scientific 
·       Bringing out all the merits of the Indian literature and 
giving a correct picture on the literature heritage of our nation. 
·       Informing the world that everything was not present in 
ancient India, but many things connected with science and technology 
and integrated life management existed in ancient India. Majority of 
these scientific information also withstood the test of time and 
still survive in the practical and theoretical life/area in India 
INFORMING THE WORLD ON THE FOLLOWING HERITAGE 
·       Indian Heritage on mathematics has got a history of not less 
than 5000 years starting from Sulbasutras. Aryabhateeya, 
Bhaskareeya, Vateswara Siddhanta, Lilavati, and so on. There are 
more than one thousand books catalogued by Indian National Science 
Academy, New Delhi. 
·       The Indian heritage on astronomy has the history record 
starting from Vedic period. The mathematics and astronomy were dealt 
together in hundreds of textbooks written in Sanskrit and in 
regional languages. Mahabhaskareeya, Laghubhaskareeya, Vateswara 
Siddhanta, Bruhat samhitha, and many similar books still available 
in the printed form with English commentaries, give the subject 
matter qualitatively and quantitatively at par with the modern 
developments. 
·       Indian heritage on the metallurgical sciences also goes back 
from the period of Yajurveda. Names of many metals are given in 
Vedas clearly mean that the metallurgical technologies of gold, 
copper, silver, iron, tin and lead were known. Many textbooks 
describing the rasa sastra give the ores, minerals and methodology 
of extraction and purification of metals and their compounds. 
·       Indian heritage in health science also starts from time 
immemorial. The ayurvedic books like Charaka samhitha, Susrutha 
samhitha, Ashtanga hrudaya, Ashtanga samgruha and many small books 
on animal treatment and Vrukshayurveda are still available for 
learning and research. The Vegetarian food system has become the 
order of the day in the world. 
·       Indian technological heritage has vast area of metallurgy, 
ceramics, glass, textiles, furnaces, leather, civil engineering and 
architecture, granite and marble, and so on. These are clearly 
demonstrated in ancient Indian books, cave temples, temples, forts, 
palaces, etc., 
·       Indian approach to management is described in detail in 
Bhishma Upadesa, Vidura Upadesa, Sukra Neethisaara, Bharthru Hari 
neethisataka, Chanakya neetisaara, Bhagavath geetha, Yoga Vasishta 
and so on. The Indian approach to management is an integrated 
approach looking into physiological, psychological, family - society 
and national aspects. 
·       We, in Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage also look 
into detailed aspects of Vedas and related literature, for their 
modern use. 
·       We have published books, brought out cassettes and CDs for 
learning and teaching the heritage of our motherland. You can get 
the details from the Institute in the following address.
