There is so much to learn every single day- WEC- Day 6

I am absolutely looking forward to the new year as I begin a brand new journey , explore a new lifestyle, a new language and a new way of being.

Sometime in March this year I came across a different kind of school. For the past few years I have been exploring the topic of education system in India , how screwed up it is and what needs to be done to revive it. Reviving is a bit of a far off call, but people are choosing an alternate route.

I heard of the University of Life :

So this school I visited in March is a gurukul and they teach 5 kinds of shastra here. It is called Shastra shaala. It is based on the ancient indian system of education and run in its pure form. Women and people of any age and any background can learn shastra here. They teach nyaya, mimansa, vyakran and vedaant. They also teach sanskrit literature, patanjali yog and ayurved. Basically the medium of instruction is sanskrit , so once you know that language each and every knowledge treasure of india opens it's doors to you. It is upto the individual how far they want to pursue it.

From the day I visited it the first time till today , I have visited it a dozen times and the more I go there, the more I feel the pull towards this place.

When I studied law, one regret I felt and one gap that constantly kept pinching me was the knowledge gap. Did india get it's laws only after the British came here? Didn't indians have any law before the english arrived? Is the British system the best way to run this country?

The Britishers came and they have left long back. Why are we still stuck with their ways of living? There is a lot of party politics here and people who scream at others and preach the Indian way of living. But what is truly needed is actually working on the vedic system, learning it, spreading it. You can't just talk about being a hindu, or of traditions and rituals without ever reading the actual shastra. The people who preach here are themselves ignorant. That is why I overlooked each and every advice I was given by hindu fanatics.  But when I actually met a shastri, visited the shastra shaala, that is when I bow down and listen with all my heart.

I am starting my vedic education in 2019. And I am looking forward to it.... Absolutely!
