The invention of zero has proved a game changer in the human history of science and technology. No scientific advancement would have been possible without the invention of zero. Although the presence of zero has been traced to many ancient civilizations including India, the question of its origin is still a moot point among historians and mathematicians. As such, in the present paper, a humble attempt will be made to gather data from the Vedic and Post Vedic Sanskrit literature to understand the origin of zero; the philosophy behind its origin; various denominations of zero used in various phases of Indian civilization; and the philosophy and epistemology behind the symbolic representation of zero (0) in India.
