ABSTRACT One of the most important means for any establishment is its Vision, its Survival and Sustenance lie in the Deep roots of its beliefs and Knowledge Systems. This ‘System of Knowledge’ is the rationality of indigenous practices, however, it is only considered the knowledge of culture, customs, traditions, agriculture, customary laws, and so on. This research is trying to look into the ancient Vedic perspective towards nature/universe and trying to see it from the perspective of the observation of Historic Indian Cities and Architecture. The great urbanist in the west have also identified, idealized, and practiced this idea from Vedic Indian knowledge systems. Later in this research finding, an elementary perspective about this philosophy, its visualization, and its practice has been observed. This can further be seen in the distinctive light of yoga and Ayurveda, to better understand the evolution process of cities and hence, suggest this as an alternative approach for Sustainable Urban Development.
