Changes

Since Sanskrit-based learning system has fallen behind in the formal education system, there is a gap that has arisen between Sanskrit and modern learning. That needs to be filled. Sanskrit schools, colleges and universities should engage in the teaching of modern subjects while the modern educational institutes should teach Sanskrit.

All branches of knowledge have sanskrit texts of ancient times. They should be studies.

In ancient times the groupings (of knowledge texts) were different as compared to the groupings of knowledge texts today.

Puranas - we think it is a collection of stories on gods and goddesses; they were created to acquaint common people with the tattvas darshanas siddhantas and vicharas in the Vedas.  

For eg. We think of Puranas as a collection of stories on deities. What goes amiss is the understanding that they were created to acquaint common people with the tattvas, darshanas, siddhantas and vicharas in the Vedas.  

When we study the Puranic shlokas

In a study of selected Puranas including the Agni Purana carried out in Shringeri, shlokas relating to 18 modern subjects like Mathematics, Geography, environment, psychology, vedanta, shilpa, medicine, etc. were found by the scholars. When scholars from various specifis fields like these study the Puranas carefully, many more such fields can be identified. The shlokas that seem to be an instance of adhyatma or vedanta in the first reading, when read in minute detailing reveal hidden meanings. Until now, veda mantras and shastra granthas have been studied from the perspective of adhyatma. There is a need for them to be re-studied through the scientific lens with needs of the current times in mind.

Infact, the potential for knowledge exploration and the methods for the same provided in the Vedas can be useful even today.  

like Mathematics, Geography, environment, psychology, vedanta, shilpa, medicine, etc.  

For eg. lakshana parishkara in nyaya shastra.  

When scholars from these fields study the Puranas carefully, many more such fields can be identified; those shlokas that seem to be an instance of adhyatma or vedanta in the first reading, when read sukshmatya, their hidden meanings may ne revealed.  

Nyaya shastra states that thr lakshana or definition of a padartha or entity should be dosha rahita or devoid of faults. In this context, avyapti, ativyapti and abhava are enlisted as the 3 possible defects in a definition.

Until now, veda mantras and shastra granthas have been studied from the perspective of adhyatma, but there is a need to be re-studied them from the scientific lens with the needs of the current times in mind.  

One of the possibilities is to use this defining tool 'lakshana parishkara' given by Nyaya shastra to redefine modern definitions. Similarly, many such thoughts can be mined.

Jnana anveshana vyavastha, Jnana anveshana paddhati - thats there in the vedas can be useful even today.  

Modern definitions should be redefined on the basis of lakshana parishkara - it is a defining tool (nyaya shastra). to comply

eg. lakshana parishkara - in nyaya shastra.  

The journey of learning should progress from Sambhashana to Shastra adhyayana. And through the study of Sanskrit language, the heart and atman of bharata may be revived making it Samrddha, Sashakta and a Vishvaguru. That should be the aim. On the foundation of sanskrit, dharma, adhyatma and language, we should bring one and all together and facilitate the unity of sentiments towards Bharata. That accomplished, reawakening of the language and culture will follow. There will be a multifaceted reawakening of Bharata from all sides viz. Social, cultural, financial, dharmik, adhyatmik and educational. That will be the dawn of the new awakened Bharat.

Sambhashanatah Shastra paryantam adhyayanam bhavet and through the study of Sanskrit language, the heart and atman of bharata may be revived making it samrddha, sashaktam, guru sthanam prapnuyat - that should be our aim. On the foundation of sanskrit, dharma, adhyatma and language we should bring one and all together and facilitate the bhava aikya to bharata, bhasha punarutthanam, samskritika punarutthanam will follow. Bharata's navotthanam bhavet

To change that before 2035 - 10 yrs action plan.  

Sanskrit was once the most influential literary language in India, and texts written in the language could be understood by millions of people throughout the South Asian world. These texts contain profound meditations on every point on the spectrum of human concern: existence, reality, God, love, duty, marriage, war, death, violence, laughter, beauty, perception, nature, anatomy, urbanity, ritual, desire, food, purpose, meaning, and language, among hundreds of others. Moreover, Sanskrit texts are the repository of non-modern modes of thought, and they present distinct conceptions of the world that are often at odds with the understanding we have today. By learning how people used to think, we better understand both ourselves and the world we have inherited.
