This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Geometry, Groups and Mathematical Philosophy, held in honor of Ravindra S. Kulkarni's 80th birthday. Talks at the conference touched all the areas that intrigued Ravi Kulkarni over the years. Accordingly, the conference was divided into three parts: differential geometry, symmetries arising in geometric and general mathematics, mathematical philosophy and Indian mathematics. The volume also includes an expanded version of Kulkarni's lecture and a brief autobiography.
