1. SOME BASIC TRUTHS OF LIFE -1

Radiant Divinities! Beloved children of God! Pilgrims on this earth plane! Seekers!

You have all come here for study. The traditional method of studying the Indian scriptures takes a minimum period of twelve years, and mind well, Saturdays and Sundays also working days and there were six hours of teaching and eight hours of self-study daily. In the first phase, they taught the Sanskrit language, grammar, nyaya-shastra, logic, etc. Then they used to teach the preliminary texts, the prakarana granthas, like Viveka-Chudamani, Tattva-Bodham, Atma-Bodham

Then only, the prasthana-trayee, the three main treatises, namely, Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita, the principal Upanishads and the Vedanta-Sutras which is also known as Brahma-Sutras were taught.

The normal period of study required in this traditional ancient gurukula method, was twelve years; but sometimes it was more, fifteen years or even twenty years, to study the intricate interpretation of words, their hidden meaning and significance. The different schools of thoughts may have different interpretations of the same combination of words. One such example is the combinationtattvam-asi.

One school may say it means ‘thou art That.’ Another school may say it is combined with the previous word and when separated it should read atattvam-asi, meaning exactly the
opposite. Due to such intricacy of the Sanskrit language, a full-time study over a very long period is necessary.

Nevertheless, in this short period of teaching here, a brief outline of the Indian and the Western philosophies and the essence of the Indian scriptures is given to you here, and you will just get an entry into the Indian scriptures, so that you can pursue self-study after going back home. This serves the purpose of sadhakas and jijnasus.

The traditional twelve year study and passing the various examinations and getting the degrees of shastri and acharya is necessary for those who want to start their own pathashala or take up the career of a teacher or become a purohit. That is a totally different field of study in which is included a thorough knowledge of various sacraments, rites and rituals covering variousceremonies like naming the child, thread ceremony, marriage ceremony.

This is known as karmakanda. A purohit is an important member of the Hindu society as no important ceremony can be taken up without him. In the past this was quite a lucrative profession and came in the family from generation to generation.

To be continued ..
