Recently I joined a Panel Discussion in a reputed college set to launch two Certificate Courses in Human Rights and Applied Indian Psychology sanctioned by the UGC in the Department of Sanskrit there.
The Charter of Human Rights I felt,is already implied by a few statements in Sanskrit literature on polity,ethics and the like,beyond the limited purview of that our Vedic culture has enormous materials to offer to humanity for ages to come.But we have to have a just and a universally acceptable framework corresponding to the individual,national and global aspirations of contemporary times.
The practical parameters set by pioneers of psychology like the propounders of the six orthodox systems of philosophy and the heterodox systems including the ideal Indian materialist,make great sense even now in analysing and uplifting our psyche to achieve the best here if not also the hereafter.But then it requires application in life situations at present to develop statistical methods of observation and experiment.
The vast ocean of Indian wisdom awaits in Sanskrit to be tapped by the earnest seeker and researcher to verify the truth with current modes of research.Holism has been our hallmark and universality of vision our touchstone.

ReplyDeleteGreat! This topic ought to be recommended for one of the papers for forthcoming International Conference on Vedic Sciences.
This is where indeed the task of globalisation in spirit should start,but things are so much twisted and truncated to suit people and lands in isolation that the highest civilized appear to be more enslaved to their nefarious designs than the slaves and savages who are just out to toil it out or snatch away a chunk to fulfil their bare needs.
ReplyDeleteIndian thought is unparalleled and it is destined to awaken the world from long winding slumber if it is not to be a failed planet like many more in the past.
