Great Verses and Lenght

  • ALL the great shastras are just few verses only ... making the curricullum very small and concise and easy to learn ! BUT years of experience gives the SPECIAL meaning to same VESRES .. BUT todays EDUCATION system is exact reverse ... MORE words and volumes to READ in school .. NONE of it even helps as years pass BY !!!!
  • there is a thought process which is unfolding with the statement
  • in arthashastra , there is detailed list of posts and eligibility criteria for person occupying those posts .. In the eligibility criteria , almost same chapter with reduced focus is being prescribed for various closely SIMILAR responsibility holding P
  • so a pupil spends less time in school [ those who study LIFE sciences BUSINESS LOGIC etc ] and more in PRACTISE ... this makes a person KAMAAU at an early age .. and spends YOUTH meaningfully ..and successfully .. ENGLISH education trying to make everyone into a WILLIAM sheikhpeerzade makes a mess of youthful years ..
  • Vasan Vs number ratio assumption is wrong ... KULAPATI [ GAUTAM rishi was kulapati ] is title for a one who runs a 10lakh student gurrukul ..
  • It would be very insightful if we seek quotes from arthashastra on QUALIFICATION of various POSTS and appointments to be done , tests to be conducted .... we will understand , CORE COMPETENCY was the FOCUS right from SCHOOL days ....
  • and MOST important is a illustration where VASHISHTHA GAUTAM rishis [ being KULAPATIS ] still took classes for NEW entrants ie small children as well ..
  • TODAYS' scholars refuse to respond to questions of NOVICES and are inaccessible to certain younger memebers
  • FACILITY ???? VASHISHTHA had KAAMDHENU ... and there was entire population in dense jungles as VAANPRASTHIS [ periphery to kingdom ] aand gurukul was inside these ..
  • BRAMHA sutras are but 564 lines only ... ARTHASHASTRA is 1500 lines .. shiksha kalpa nirukta chandas are also very few .. vyakarna and Jyotishya are vast .. dwijas are taught in heirarchy .. in depth .. BRAMHAN astarts learning from 8 years of age ..
