If we think why this world is full of crime, corruption, wars etc the
answer may vary depending upon person and circumstances but one thing
that none can ignore is the fact that there is something wrong with our
education system. In ancient India the general people use to read and
understant Puran. Puran is an sanskrit term which can be translated as
mythology. There are 18 Puran and many sub purans. While going through
the purans the most striking feature we can notice is its profound
sublimity by which great abstract truth were made to be understood to
greneral people. These day we can see the number of book a small child
takes which can break his backbone. These books conveys only information
and nothing more than that, rather to say practically, the memorizing
system of education compromises on the creative ability of our young
brains. By reading through puran a students learns a little of history,
geography, behaviours & etiquettes, morality & ethics and also
the tendency of writing is to open up immature minds twoards higher
creativity. Morality and Ethics are emphases a lot which helps bring in
some order in the society in long term. Also the style of writing is
like a story which is interesting and can be understood easily. Compared
to this the present education system emphasies the least in manners ,
morality which is the core of the human being. The downgrading of the
moral side of educators is also contributing a lot to increase in the
criminal figures of our country. Rather then having a lot of books we
can try having having a book like puran which could imbibe some core
values to child brain and also give a push to increase his intellectual
ability.
