Environmental Ecstasy in Sanskrit Literature comprising 4 panegyrics and, 64 articles and re-search papers, symbolising 4 Purusarthas and 64 arts on various aspects of Environment, Sanskrit, Indology and Musicology is a tender presentation by two devoted disciples Prof. Sushma Kulshreshtha and Prof. Lakshmi Shukla offered to their venerable Guru Prof. Prabhu Dayalu Agnihotri, a great Doyen of Sanskrit and Iridology on the auspicious occassion of his 99th Birthday, his Devadhideva Mahotsava. This voluminous work consists of four cascades divided into sixteen sections symbolising Purusottama-Kalamalci:

Cascade I : Introduction (Comprising one section)
Cascade II: Environment & Vedic Literature (Divided into five sections)
Cascade III: Environment & Technical Sciences (Divided into four sections)
Cascade IV: Environment & Sanskrit Literature (Divided into six sections)
This volume is adorned with 4 panegyrics and 64 research papers on different aspects of Environ-ment, Sanskrit, Indology and Musicology by emi-nent scholars including 10 President's Awardees and seven Vice-Chancellors of India. The four cascades deal with various Vedic, Puranic, linguistic, socio-logical, religious, cultural, literary, zoological, bo-tanical, musicological, arthagastric, karnagastric, en-vironmental and technical scientific problems mainly centring upon environmental studies based on an-cient Indian texts. Kalid5sa occupies a special place as befits his grand status in the Clasical Indian Lit-erature as well as Prof. Sushma Kulshreshtha's and Prof. Agnihotri's abiding interest in him. Hence, three sections are devoted to Kalidasa. This volume is multi-dimensional in approach and will prove useful to Environmentalists, San-skritists and Indologists for its penetrating insights into various branches of Environment, Sanskrit and Indology.
