संवाद # 49: IIM Prof. B Mahadevan on how to Indianise our education & lessons from Bhagavad Gita

[@SenapatiM96]

This one had JRE vibes. Need a Jamie to put up 'Pascal's Triangle' etc. when the guest brought it up. Will make it more engaging in my opinion.

[@asmit4847]

Arihant bhai I think your audience is ready for longer podcasts. Whenever possible feel free to upload 2 hours long or even longer podcast. We are fine if it is uploaded in parts. You are doing great job with this.

[@nisheksharma7878]

"Technology can help you to lead a good life, but can't tell you the elements of a good life." What a statement..

[@ParasPatil-ok6wo]

Great

[@NarendraKumar-tj1nq]

This is one of the best podcast till now, in my opinion.

[@nisheksharma7878]

[@bharatvedprakash1308]

There is so much stillness in folks rooted in Bharatiyata. Professor is a perfect example of that. Hope to see him again .

🐟 19. CĀTUR-VARṆA (THE FOUR SOCIAL CLASSES): NO HUMAN OWNS HIMSELF/HERSELF: One of the most difficult and confronting lessons one must learn in life is that a person cannot choose his own master. No man or woman is his own master/mistress, despite what most may believe. EVERY human being (with the exception of a bona fide World Teacher, who is lord of all) has at least one master, though it seems most have chosen to obey the desires of their fickle minds, rather than their preordained masters. Even an Avatāra (literally, “a descended one”), that is, a male, who is born in the highest state possible for a human being to be born, accepts a master upon reaching a certain age. Lords Śiva (pronounced “Shiva”), Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Śrī Rāma, Buddha Siddhārtha Gautama, Shirdi Sai Baba, Lord Jesus, Bahá’u’lláh, and every other Divine Manifestation who ever was born on this earth, WILLINGLY submitted to His legitimate temporal authority. N.B. Admittedly, this paragraph was composed in order to appeal to the vast majority of religionists, who adhere to a Theistic form of metaphysics. However, as well-demonstrated in Chapter 07 of this Holiest of Holy Scriptures, a Supreme Deity is both a metaphysical and an ontological impossibility. See also the Glossary entries “Avatāra” and “World Teacher”, in order to clarify the notion of Divine Incarnation. An ever-increasing proportion of persons believe (at least in practice) that they are the Lord of all lords, when they claim that they have no superior, and assert that humans are not an inherently hierarchical species. Society is built on the family unit, which is obviously hierarchically-structured (unless, of course, one considers a newborn baby to be equal to its parents!). Human society is (or at least ought to be) structured similarly to that of our closest relatives, the great apes, in which there is a definite hierarchy, headed by the most dominant alpha male. Even ant and bee colonies are hierarchical, although they are matriarchal societies, whereas human civilization is necessarily PATRIARCHAL. As soon as an animal reproduces, it could be confidently asserted that a hierarchy of authority (or, at least, power of some kind) is established. How many persons do you know, when taken to a courthouse, would challenge the authority of the magistrate or the judge? Very few, I would posit. That is because, when confronted by a (apparently) higher authority, the typical man or woman would grudgingly capitulate to that authority. When a man claims that he has no superior or no master, an appropriate response is as follows: “I look forward to the day when one of your children says the same to you, Mister Hypocrite!”. The funniest thing about such arrogant fools, is that they often submit to their SUBORDINATES, what to speak of their superiors! For instance, pitiful uxorious “men” are often seen kowtowing to their womenfolk, yet when admonished or castigated by an obvious superior (such as an employer, grandfather, uncle, king, or priest) they often reprove those masters.

One of best IKS discussion i have ever heard. I was just nodding & getting every bit of which means that IKS was so rich in oral teachings via verna system. Just wow. Amazing Prof Mahadevan

[@4kams]

Arihant, I think you’ve a fantastic team who helps you bring such stalwarts to the show. I’m a huge fan of your style of Q&A and the quality of people you bring to the show. Prof.’s insight into Indic scriptures, knowledge and ability to connect to today’s audience is just amazing. Thank you for everything you all do!!

[@mso2802]

I noticed this today, thanks for bringing my 'guru' to your podcast! I have always cherished memories of attending Professor Mahadevan's class at IIMB. What an amazing teacher!!

[@BrokenRecord-i7q]

Great question asked by the interviewer, especially about the extremes where one corner says this is everything and the other side says this is crap!

[@hray2008]

Great initiative by Prof Mahadevan. Arihant’s skill in guiding the conversation reflects his own deep understanding, maturity and wisdom.

[@TheGuruNetOn]

He's asking the questions that are in all our minds. That makes him the perfect host because he is as interested in listening to the whole answer as in asking the question. We hardly see that in most mainstream interviews. It's more like heckling, accusations and prejudiced opinions posing as "questions".

[@ramanathannavaneethakrishn7868]

Very nice Interview. Prof was practical about implementation of IKS. His views are correct in respect of Naysayers & supporters of IKS. Thanks Mr.Arihant for introducing such eminent personalities.

[@vaisakhist]

Man wowww, bring gems like the professor ❤️🙌

[@ronnoronha3202]

This is a gem of an interview on the IKS. Thank you Dr. Mahadevan for such a thought provoking and inspirational exposition. Kudos to the interviewer making this happen.

[@satiready]

I am artist & a designer , and i can understand that Detached attachment very clearly. Because you see the process itself is so Involving & engaging, that you just love doing it. And by the end you’re not expecting anything good or bad you’ve just enjoyed the process and now whatever happens is not in your hands. The Process is all yours, not the result. Attach deeply to the process but detach completely from the results.

[@MdZeeshan1934]

This is the best podcast channel,in Bharat. But You Tube has reduced audeince reach of this channel like other non-left channels & content.

[@shafalisirothiya2773]

Introducing Sanskrit at elementary level as a language in the current curriculum will help us a lot. As Hindi, English or any other regional language are being taught.

[@sanatanidotnetdharmaplatfo3991]

That's just amazing and didn't know nep had such far reaching implications. Can't help but commend the current administration for giving power and authority and leadership to the right kind of people like this prof

[@TheGuruNetOn]

That's why all the leftists are sh*t scared of losing their intellectual hold on the Nation. They've lost on most other fronts economic, political etc. This is their last stand so you can imagine their very survival depends on this. Patronage is gone, position is going and audience will be gone with such initiatives.

[@manmohanbajaj6814]

Arihant if it is possible do write the name of the book in description whenever the interview of particular authour is taken. This way it can be recollected as and when required without even listening the show again and again.

More importantly the importance of history in one’s life, for the community growing over a period of time, nation building etc has to be practically demonstrated and made related for students learning history. It has to be made more interactive than just learning dates and events.

[@nishantintouch]

First step is to bring subject of Education to Central list or atleast concurrent list so that centre can make parallel laws wrt education. Second is to incentivise the four language formula ( E, H, Sanskrit and one local; in hindi medium states ask them to choose one of their choice: pinjabi, malayalam whatever) by linking the percentage to borard exams, Neet and jee exams and govt exams after graduation. Third is to restart the sanatana studies right from class 3 to post graduate level like M.Com and MBA and the like. Incentivise them all to create a selfish interest first and a genuine interest later towrads their own glaorious hiatory and culture. Fourth is to be upfront about it, be proud of it and claim it in political debates. In 7-8 years we'll solve this worthless issue which shd never have been there in the first place. Jai sanatanä Jai hind Jai sri Ramā 🙏🙏

[@TheGuruNetOn]

Samskrita Bharati has shown a better path than legal path. Support by common man. When that is there we don't need legislation it becomes defacto situation.

[@aviraljanveja5155]

We need to let the Indic knowledge flourish in combination with available contemporary knowledge and see what magical contributions this combination can make. For example, DRDO faces difficulty in designing indigenous kaveri fighter jet engine, the Sanskrit institution makes a study and says - we have identified solutions to your key issues. Thus we can help you complete the kaveri engine. Now that would be a big Win 🔥

[@vvenkat111]

At 22.22 the good professor says "when we do it in a *ritualistic" way..". This could be corrected to passive ritualism using his own terminology. Passive ritualism is doing the process without awareness. Active ritualism will involve awareness and total mental involvement in the karma. Karmakaanda as in ritual and repetition is what leads to transcendence /moksha when done with focussed awareness. The last part is the most important ingredient in this recipe.

Unfortunately, Due to the higher level of ignorance, we the people of India before reading/ analyzing or knowing the power of Indian wisdom just comment that its nothing just superstation or just out dated knowledge which is not relevant in so called technological world. so first we all should try to analyze / know & then comment on it. its not the ancient Indian knowledge rather its the real immortal knowledge which provide solutions for all time's problems.
