INTERGATING INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS WITH CONTEMPORARY PSYCOLOGY: A COMPERASIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY ANALYSIS OF MIND, BEHAVIOUR, HEALTH, AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Psychology, as a scientific discipline, studies behaviour, mental processes, cognition, development, and social interaction through systematic methods, empirical research, and statistical analysis. However, the Indian intellectual tradition—through Ayurveda, Yoga, Samkhya, Nyaya, Buddhist philosophy, traditional medicine, and holistic models of life—has explored consciousness, mind–body interactions, health, and behaviour for over three millennia. This research paper integrates the contemporary scientific approaches of psychology with the rich heritage of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), offering an interdisciplinary analysis of human behaviour, health, cognition, research methods, and social functioning.
