This article provides an overview of some insights relating to various aspects of creativity provided by the Vedas-the most ancient scriptural and philosophical texts known to history. In describing the nature of these texts, an attempt has been made to present the Vedic vision of creative and integral excellence, and their emphasis on unitive view of consciousness and creative coexistence. The roles of multifaceted nature of truth, transcendence, intuition, imagination and meditative processes in creative process-all as envisaged in these texts-have been reviewed in brief. This paper also describes the concept of Vac (Word) and the ways it is envisaged to be the source of creativity. Also presented is the theory of gunas (modes of nature) and some of the ways in which Vedic texts define the working self of the creative person and their emphasis on total immersion in creative activity. The crucial role of appreciation and the appreciator in providing creative continuity as viewed by Vedas is also explained. Finally, some implications for studying the creative person and the creative processes from the Vedic perspective are suggested. ''Every creation has a paradigmatic model-the creation of the universe by the gods.''-Mircea Eliade (The sacred and the profane: The nature of religion, 1959, p. 31).''To some degree,'' writes Simonton (2006, p. 490), ''there are as many ways of studying creativity as there are cultural traditions, perhaps as many as there are independent nations.'' Based on two traditions, Mason (1988) has provided a comprehensive account of beliefs about the character of creativity found in the Western history. However, the intention of this article is not to extend the Western perspective on creativity-which has its own strengths-but to offer an alternative view of creativity based on a ''divinely given archetype which human being needs to emulate and in the process fulfill, as well as transcend his=her mere humanity or historic actuality'' (Shah, 2001, p. 7). The article does not intend to make cross-cultural comparisons but to present, as far as possible, the indigenous perspective rooted in Vedic philosophy. This article, due to its nature, has not followed the usual categorization used in organizing literature on creativity theory and research. It could not be done because ''there are theories and investigations that defy categorization'' (Runco & Pagnani, 2011, p. 69). This observation assumes added significance when philosophical perspectives on creativity are examined. As such, forcing any usual categorization on the perspectives attempted here has been purposely avoided.
