A country loses its life when its education system gets corrupted and destroyed. Bharath, our country’s education system has been forcibly rooted out a century ago.
Educational institutions like Shree Swaminarayan Gurukuls are bridging the gap between the knowledge in the textbooks of the ‘modern’ education system and the root of all knowledge, the eternally existing vedic wisdom. The schools impart morals, teach practices that develop rightly nurtured connection with nature and the supreme power, God.
Additionally, it is important to let the students of Shree Swaminarayan Gurukuls get an overall understanding of where in the scriptures the modern technological advancements are already described. Only then, the students – the future of our nation – will be empowered to speak about the rich literature that Bharath has always been the home of.
Here are a few examples of scriptures aged at least 5000 years ago have described and used what we now refer to as modern technology ‘inventions’.
Beyond Satellites…
A photographic illustration of the layout of World map
Puranas around 5000 years ago gave an illustration of the world map’s layout as a standing rabbit trying to reach a bush. To give such an illustration, it requires one to position themselves at an altitude. Their ability was beyond that of satellites because satellites can only give an image of only one hemisphere at a time whereas their illustration was comprehensive.
Anatomy and more…
Development of fetus
Srimad Bhagavatham, 3rd canto gives detailed description of the development of the fetus every day, week and month till the baby is formed. It goes beyond the current day embryology and describes the reasons for everything that happens.
Attharva Veda describes what urinary infections are and how they can be treated along with surgical options.
Let us take pride in the rich vast Vedic wisdom…
