This is an effort to review and present ancient and modern concepts and theories about Mind-brain and Consciousness.  The concept of Mind in ancient Indian traditions needs a careful and detailed exposition. Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary system of investigation dealing with how information is represented and transformed in the brain. The brain is just a physical organ of a body which is the center of the nervous system in human beings and other vertebrates. Thus cognitive science deals with multiple research disciplines such as psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, neuroscience, learning sciences, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and education.  On the other hand in Sanskrit, Vedic or Classical, there are many thoughts and schools which through light on the theories, religious practices, social sciences, spiritual &physical sciences and thus provide sufficient materials on philosophy,  Soteriology and various other relevant topics which can be compare with the concepts of modern sciences. There are four terms in Sanskrit language for mind use in almost same sense with some modifications i.e. manas, cittam, antahkarana and vijnyana(Buddhism). On the other hand ShIrsha, kapAla, sirah, are equivalent  English terms of brain. In English mind and brain are synonymous, and consciousness is the state of being conscious or one’s awareness of something. According to Nyayavaisesika manas is dravya and it controls all organs. According to MAyAvadin antahkaran is mana, samkalpavikalpAtmakvrittmadantahkarana mana ityahuh, and according to them it is base of pleasure and pain. This is the reason that Kalidasa asserts in Sakuntalm that –pramanam antahkaranpravrittayah, here antahkarana means inner instrument of knowledge, the mind. According to Vedanta Philosophy there are six sense organs five external and one internal.  BrihdAranyakopanisad (1-5-3) states that everything depends upon manas.  But in fact all these statements indicates that  mana (mind) is nothing but conceptual elements-  Mana eva manusyanam karanam bandha moksayoh, this statement also supports this argument.  In the light of the above it seems that status of mind is beyond reality. In this context it will be worthwhile to note that "The Vedic mantra 'Sahasra ShIrsA purusah Sahasrakshah' etc. indicates that the PuruSha is mind and ShIrsa is brain, Akshi is eye in the sense of rays and the PAt is indication of movement.  Mind is in the form of citta is in the centre of the body which is  about ten inches above of the abdomen, so it is called citta consiousness and controll the mind."
