Exploring the Scientific Principle of ancient Indian Education: Revisiting Bhartiya Gyan Parampara

Dr. Vanita Rose and Romi Kadian

Abstract: 

This paper analyses the Bhartiya Gyan Parampara, a vast spectrum of knowledge stream particularly scientific tradition that forms part of the cultural tradition of the Indian subcontinent. Starting from the Vedas, Upanishads, Samhitas and ending with specific texts in Ayurveda, Yoga, Mathematics and Astronomy, Metallurgy the Bhartiya Gyan Parampara the shinning example of pre historical, historical ages proves an exposure of natural laws and its fundamental scientific principles. This paper aims to understand major scientific themes within this tradition, assess them, and determine their application to the current scientific practice and interdisciplinarity. A comparative study underscores how the Indian heritage knowledge base dovetails or even predates modern Western science. In this regard, this paper aims at going beyond the cultural and historical dichotomy and to argue for the paradigm that is in harmony with traditional wisdom as relevant to the current scientific and, environmental and philosophical issues. Due to its integration of both’s timeless knowledge and modern approach, this work encourages extending the understanding of Bhartiya Parampara as a reference for comprehensive and sustainable development.
