Abstract :
The Bhagavad Gita holds a prominent position as one of the most revered books of Hindu philosophy, often considered as India's greatest contributions to the global community. Through this exploration, an attempt is made to discern the influence and significance of the Bhagavad Gita in the context of current educational policies. By examining the text in this light, it becomes possible to identify the resonance of its teachings within contemporary educational frameworks, providing insight into the enduring relevance of its principles in modern society.
The current context of the New Education Policy highlights the profound impact and significance of Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This ancient scripture holds immense relevance in shaping the educational landscape, offering valuable insights and teachings that can guide students and educators alike. By incorporating the principles and wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita into the educational framework, it fosters holistic development, moral values, and a deeper understanding of life's purpose. The Gita's teachings on self-discipline, self-realization, and the pursuit of knowledge can inspire a generation of learners to navigate the challenges of the modern world with clarity, resilience, and compassion. This paper throws light on Arts-based hermeneutical approach to interpret a historical scripture, connecting it to cultural practices, personal experiences, and the emotions of the author. In this paper, I have endeavoured to explore the impact and implications of the Bhagavad Gita in the context of the current scenario of New Education Policy.
