It is believed, especially by the current generation of Indians, that Indian scriptures are full of praises to the multifarious gods who have been worshiped over the many centuries.
It is little known that there is possibly no other scripture in the entire world as scientific, precise, concise and contemporary as our literary marvels. If the Indians and the rest of the world ever get to understand and assimilate the extensive library that lies dispersed and neglected, we would be living in Utopia.
But apart from the science hidden in the scripts, there are tons of social messages intertwined within the fanciful language. For example quoting from Thiruvaachakar’s Thiruvaachakam, which recently shot to fame with music Maestro Ilayaraja choosing it as the base for his latest musical symphony:
“Fear not the snake in its pits,
Fear not the truth of a liar,
For those who believe,
In the truth of a higher divine,
It is the uneducated – that
Are the gravest of all dangers”
Similarly, the text goes on to speak about the importance of order, discipline, truthfulness, love etc in a human’s life.
The BHAGAVAT GITA, is a living contemporary message that touches upon the most urgent personal and social problems.
Thirukkural, by Thiruvalluvar, has obtained a berth as one of the most meaningful scripts on Earth.
Chanakya’s ARTHASHAASTHRA deals with various aspects of governance, administration and economics.
The PANCHATANTHRA and the JATAKA TALES, are full of messages on public relations.
Shri Shankara Achariya’s scripts are a scientific marvel. In fact Albert Einstein is reported to have said that Shri Shankara’s works contain his Theory of Relativity, one of the greatest scientific developments till date.
There is said to be no situation in a man’s life, which does not find an anology in the MAHABHARATAS.
What is the use of having so much of knowledge without utilizing it? It as like having a huge dam filled with water that has no outlets to a drought-hit land.
But, by being a little more observant, and by shifting attention towards our own bank of knowledge, I’m sure, we can go places. Instead of looking up to nations and economies, hardly a few centuries old, to seek expertise and knowledge, why don’t we search in the vast ocean of knowledge that we harbor, which is based on the wisdom of a thousand decades?
