Advaita Vedanta philosophy, one of the 6 philosophies of #Hinduism states the threefold learning discipline for students. I was surprised to find about these 3 stages in learning in philosophy
as I realised how deep&evolved our education system was thousands ago! #Education
1. Sravana: This was the proper listening to whatever was taught to the student. What is fascinating is that it included seeing and feeling aspects too. So we had #empathic #ListeningSkills in place thousands of years ago already.
2. Manana: This referred to reflecting on what the student had heard. It was very much like having an internal dialogue with the words. #EasternWisdom #BharatKiSanskriti #IncredibleIndia

should a boy in his teens go all the way and all alone, from Andhra Pradesh to Ujjain and stay with His Holiness from then on, without a day's break as student and disciple, for twelve years with no thought other than to study the sastras?

Nestled in Rajsamand district, Molela seems a nondescript village to many. ItтАЩs often in the shadow of Udaipur, which lies about 15 kilometres away. тБа

#DidYouKnow #IncredibleIndia #heritage #history
However, the village has a community of artisans that have garnered a name for themselves by developing a rare art style known as the Molela murtikala, where votive terracotta idols are made on flat surfaces like tiles and plaques.тБа
There is a local legend behind this unique craft that claims that there was a blind potter who dreamt of the deity Dharmaraj. In the dream, the deity asked him to dig for clay at a particular place and use it to make his image. тБа

The 700+ year old Aghoreshwara temple in Ikkeri, Karnataka is a brilliant piece of architecture. We went after sunset, but still could capture the beauty & witness evening aarti.

There is a massive Nandi, a beautiful Ganapati and the garba griha with a Linga & 32 seated Durgas!
The sculpture in Aghoreshwara temple is spectacular. Right from Garba griha to smaller murtis and even to the extent of hair lines/beads over a Devis head, the carving is so beautiful, that you will wonder how they did it in stone centuries ago!

World class art!
#IncredibleIndia
Centuries ago, the main deity here was a massive Aghoreshwara, an avatar of Shiva with 32 arms.

Today only a Linga.
I asked the locals.. what happened?
They told me to walk towards the lawn.

I was so sad to see the remains there.. You can guess what happened in 17th century ЁЯШФ

Sri Aurobindo on Bhagavad Gita, humanity's greatest asset: The human mind moves way forward, alters its viewpoint and enlarges its thought substance,and the effect of these changes is to render past systems of thinking obsolete or, when they are preserved, to extend,to modify 1/6 Image
and subtly or visibly alter their value. The vitality of an ancient doctrine consists in the extent to which it naturally lends itself to such treatment; for that means that whatever may have been the limitations or the obsolescences of the form of its thought, the truth of 2/6
substance, the truth of living vision and experience on which its system was built is still sound and retains a permanent validity and significance. The Gita is a book that has worn extraordinarily well and it is almost as fresh and still in its real substance quite as new, 3/6
