IN ancient times only brahmins and kshatriya has right to education which is unchangeable truth . that's why many people reject gurukul. we need to develop our school like mixed version of Buddhist vihara and Hindu gurukul . where all thoughts and ideology will teach

[@thebohosapiens]

I agree that we should have both Buddhist and Hindu elements in the education. However the caste system in India was exaggerated, I agree that we had and still have caste discrimination but the statement that only Brahmins were allowed to study is not completely true. In 1822 Thomas Munroe, Governor of Madras presidency did a survey for basic education in South India. Titled " Survey of Indigenous education ". In the survey it was found that 35 percent of the kids in village schools of South India were Brhamin, Vaishya and Kshatriya while 65 percent were Shoodras and other castes. This is just one evidence. Source:- The Beautiful Tree by Dharampal

Education should not be based on fake man made Religions or imposed cruelty like caste system. Let everybody take part of learning about first Bharat's cultures and second the world's cultures. Sadhguru's Isha schooling is a good example. I don't think The Creator ever gave us such demeaning rules and Duties (Dharma)

Great video on understanding problems in current education system and why ancient Gurukul education is the best Education system that existed and how we have to make that as a mainstream again. Loved the part where Sahana mam mentions about the importance of wrath for students in staying away from Social Media. I also got to know about the importance of Bramhacharya that one has to go through to achieve knowledge and right values before becoming Gruhasta. Great Questions from Anant to extract important information from Sahana mam.

Right now Sanskrit is optional language. Instead Hindi should be optional and Sanskrit should be mandetory. Hindi anyways people learn it from media. It's unnecessary burden to put Hindi in syllabus.

Caste discrimination is a lie that has been dragged on for past 265 years. The word is "cast" itself comes from Portuguese i.e."casta". So called Caste discrimination was even unheard before the British or other Europeans. Even the Ghori, Ghazni, or the Mughals personal writers never mention that. The enemity or the distance between certain communities we see now days in some regions had been sown during the British period as they pitted one king against the another and their stooges pitted one community against the other. Those misdeeds has been carried on from one generation to another. ( If the so called upper were so powerful that they discriminated against the so called lower cast Then why didn't they simply killed or converted or forcefully migrated them like the Islamic Invaders or Christians.)

[@vikeshthakur9633]

Buddha never said to anyone or his disciples to make religion in his name. He only said to follow his teachings. Lord Krishna himself gave the greatest lessons and teachings and asked people follow them to but that doesn't mean we make a seperate religion of him. Same is the case with all Sikh gurus. This is has been the land of Gurus, Saints and teachers. These Cancerous politicians are hell bent on creating religions and dividing people in the Name of religion.

[@adnyat]

The concept of 'religion' is so alien to Bharatiy culture or Sanatan Sanskruti, that we don't even have a correct word that describes the concept. Dharma does not mean religion. We have Panth (पंथ), Sampraday (संप्रदाय), Mat (मत) etc. Bauddh is a Panth, not a dharma or not even a religion. It has originated from Sanatan Dharma. It has borrowed many concepts and philosophies from Sanatan Dharma. Similarly, Jain & Sikh are Panth and not religions for the same reasons. In fact, there were about such 64+ known Panth that originated from Sanatan's knowledge base. Most of those perished over the time. Only 3 of those survived and flourished. Sanatan allows to devise your own Upasana Paddhati. All these pantha that originated from Sanatan are actually part of it, and not separate from it. Sanatan Sanskruti is the umbrella for all Panth, Sampraday, Mat, Vichar that originated in Bharat.

[@yuktamookhey909]

I have heard so many of Suhana singhs talks and for very long I myself have done immense research on the education system , have taken a training myself and visited many gurukulam - not in one place have I found a true reflection of the vedas or even the approach to education . I regret to say it but I strongly disagree with respected suhanaji who has devoted her life mission to reawakening people through her efforts of collaborating people and reviving Indic knowledge .. NOT A SINGLE PERSON IS MENTIONING , AIMING , STUDYING PRACTICING OR LEADING THROUGH AYURVEDA ...ITS A TRAGIC SCENE , FEEDING CHILDREN FOOD AFTER SUNSET AND MAKING ALL PREPARATIONS IN ALUMINIUM OR STICKING TO FERMENTED FOODS LIKE IDLI DOSA IS DEFINTELY NOT WHAT OUR ANCESTORS WERE HAVING . VIDYAKSHETRA IS EXTREMELY MISLEADING - they don't even have the decency to stick to Vedic principles they are completely oriented to Waldorf methods which is a western biblical approach and above all they are not teaching through Sanskrit or any of the shastras . Gokarna is Vidyalaya is not responding to any enquiry made on phone or email , neither they are interested to consider the subjects as per Shaastras. we all need to wake up to a very pure understanding of what is means to be in a guru shishya paramparaa . im available to have a healthy open discussion on this matter with any one and happy to interact engage from a policy standpoint about board ,curriculum & competitive exams ...pls contact me by replying to this message I will share my email or phone number if we can collaborate for bringing changes in the law and education system at ministry level I will be holding the torch for that ....

India is still lag behind in this aspect too. our neighbor is become developed becoz they invest in rationality. this English help India not get a job .livelihood is more important than culture that's why everyone respect sanskrit but cant able to try Sanskrit. first we should open source of employment for Indians then we talking about religions and culture

The Englishmen would be happy to see, that they have a good and faithful Indian servant of theirs, even now after 75 yrs of independence. Hope you become a good clerk, for you have the mindset which they wanted to cultivate. What you are saying now, was said similarly by Rammohan Roy that Saṁskr̥ta education is trash and english education is the future. But he was a lackey for the British. Perhaps, you want to walk in his footsteps. Also, China invests a lot in its culture, for your information. It also has Chinese as the language which people speak and in which children are educated. Even the country's name is not in English, but in Chinese. It is only Bhārata that is so sour, that it forgets its culture and runs after the West. Even the West is now paying immense importance to culture. At least, follow your master faithfully and learn from your neighbouring countries well !
