Manthan: Let’s Reflect on the Essence of Education: 1

  Material for Group Discussion Session Manthan: Let’s Reflect on the Essence of Education: 1 Thoughts of Maharshi Swami Dayanand Saraswati CHAPTER 2: Treats of the up-bringing of children "Mātṛmān Pitṛmān Ācāryavān Puruṣo Veda" – Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa. 1.     "Verily, that man alone can become a great scholar who has had the advantage of three good teachers, viz., father, mother, and preceptor." Blessed is the family, most fortunate is the child whose parents are godly and learned. The mother's healthy influence on her children surpasses that of everyone else. No other person can equal a mother inn her love for her children, or in her anxiety for their welfare. (Page 20) 2.     The mother's instructions to a child.

Exploring Linguistic Diversity of Solapur

Exploring Linguistic Diversity of Solapur In a recent article on experiential learning, I shared about a Samaj Darshan activity conducted at Jnana Prabodhini, Solapur, aimed at studying the linguistic diversity of the city. Many readers appreciated the example and requested more details about the activity. After going through the records and teachers' diaries, I have written down the details of this Samaj Darshan activity focused on understanding the linguistic diversity of Solapur. At Jnana Prabodhini, Solapur, we select a theme every year that encourages students to explore various aspects of society and culture. By participating in Samaj Darshan , students gain valuable insights that help them connect more deeply with the people and places around them. The objective is to understand society; both its strengths and challenges, appreciate its culture, and develop a sense of gratitude towards the people and communities who contribute to it. This activity is practiced as wh...

सत्यं च स्वाध्यायप्रवचने च।

  सत्यं च स्वाध्यायप्रवचने च। प्रकृति के सानिध्य में रहकर उसके साथ एकत्व का अनुभव करना , स्वाध्याय का प्रथम सूत्र है , जो हमें ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण और उसके रहस्यों को जानने की प्रेरणा देता है। जड़-चेतन धारणाओं से जुड़ी मूलकण , वंशसूत्र , गुणसूत्र जैसी सूक्ष्मतम चीज़ों के अध्ययन से लेकर ब्रह्मांड के विस्तार के अध्ययन तक का व्यापक आयाम हमें प्रकृति के गहनतम रहस्यों में प्रवेश करने का मार्ग प्रदान करता हैं। ब्रह्मांड के विशाल विस्तार और उसकी अनंतता को समझने का प्रयास करने के लिए पहला उपनिषदिक अध्ययन सूत्र है "ऋतं च स्वाध्याय प्रवचने च।" ऋतम् का अध्ययन ब्रह्मांड के नियमों और संरचनात्मक सिद्धांतों को समझने की कुंजी है। ऋतम् का अध्ययन   केवल दार्शनिक धारणा नहीं है , बल्कि यह ब्रह्मांड की रचना और उसके संचालन में निहित नियमों को   वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोणद्वारा गहराई से समझना है। यह हमें   सिखाता है कि ब्रह्मांड किस प्रकार संतुलित और सुव्यवस्थित रूप से कार्य करता है। ऋतम् का स्वाध्याय करते समय हम अपने परिवेश को गहराई से समझने लगते हैं। प्रकृति के रहस्यों की खोज और उन...
