Chronological Analysis of Rigvedic Mandalas using Social Networks
Prabhu, Shreekanth M, Radhakrishnan, Gopalpillai
Establishing the chronology of the Vedas has interested scholars for the last two centuries. The oldest among them is Rig-Veda which has ten Mandalas, each composed separately. In this paper, we look at deciphering plausible pointers to the internal chronology of the Mandalas, by focusing on Gods and Goddesses worshiped in different Mandalas. We apply text analysis to the Mandalas using Clustering Techniques based on Cosine Similarity. Then we represent the association of deities with Mandalas using a grid-based Social Network that is amenable to chronological analysis and demonstrates the benefits of using Social Network Analysis for the problem at hand. Further, we analyze references to rivers to arrive at additional correlations. The approach used can be deployed generically to analyze other kinds of references and mentions and arrive at more substantive inferences.

The universe is going in Circles -- Stone age, then Machine Age, then Stone Age…
We get fascinated these days by looking at the output from Machine learning and AI-driven models, but after spending close to a decade in this field, my reaction to this is getting more apparent, and it just recalls me of my childhood days when our super hero's use to be the character of Ramayan and Mahabharat:) One of my favorite part of Ramayan is the "Sundar Kand" of Ramayan. I always feel that this Kand could have been named "Bhishan Agni kand" or "Jwala Kand," but it was named "Sundar Kand" and the reason could be due to the very first line with which it got started .. line goes as - The true lesson for any management firm that as soon as leadership decides or commits delivery i.e. soon, you get the go-ahead from your senior leadership like "Jamwant Ji" in this case, you should start taking the project and deliverables ahead with full force and best of your capability. The biggest disasters like "Lanka Dhen", Major fights between both armies happened during this Kand but given employees are moving ahead with full trust in Senior management and with a go-getter attitude that made this Kand to be named "Sundar Kand". Veda's, Upanishad, and Puran used to be taught at Gurukul by great saints of that time. This teaching material is similar to modern-day Machine learning libraries, which were crafted as a single package for anyone with an interest can use them to perform data science.
