Hello,


The  concept, aim and main characteristics of Vedic Education are as following -


Immediate aim:- Vocational :

-  The immediate aim of education, however, was to prepare the different casts of people for their actual needs of life.

Ultimate aim of education-self-Realization: -

- The ultimate aim of education in ancient India was not knowledge as preparation of life in this world or for life beyond but for complete realization of self-for liberatin of the soul from fetters of life, both present and future.

-  That knowledge was real, which led to emancipation-led from unreality to reality, from darkeness to light, from death to immortality.


Self-control & Self–Discipline :-

- It was considered to be the best discipline. However Corporal punishment was not altogether ruled out.


High status of Teachers :-

- Teachers were a highly honoured class-honoured by even by kings. Kings rose from thrones to receive great teachers such as Narada, Vashishtha and Vishwamitra.


Free education in Ancient India :-

- In ancient India teaching was considered to be holy duty which a Brahman was bound to discharge irrespective of consideration of the fee .

- Teachers were expected to devote their lives to the cause of teaching in the missionary spirit of self-sacrifice, and the society laid down the principal that both the public and state should help the learned teachers & educational institutions very liberally.

- Society realized that “Vidyadana” or the gift in the cause of education was to be the best of gifts, possessing a higher religious merit than even the gift of land. On the occasion of religious feats, students and teachers were invited and donations were given liberally.
