Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 EDUCATION SYSTEM IN VEDIC PERIOD R.B.KOKATANUR DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The basic aim of ancient education was instilling into the minds, of peoples a
spirit of being pious and religious for glory of God and good of man. The pursuit of
knowledge was a pursuit of religious values. The student had to observe strict
regulations. Instruction was important, but was even more significant than teaching was
discipline – discipline inculcated through strict obedience to laws and regulations of
student life, discipline that was rooted in morality and religion A student was required to
give up lust, anger, greed, vanity, conceit and over joy. Education was free. It was free
because no student was required to pay any fees. It was free also because no outside
agency could interfere in the matters of education. There was perfect autonomy. No
external authority no external beneficiary, no politics was permitted to enter the school
or college system. A student had to pay nothing in return for education he received in a
Gurukul. The inculcation of civic virtues and social values was an equally important
objective of education in India. The Brahmachari after his education in the Gurukulas
went back to the society to serve the rich and the poor, to relieve the diseased and the
distressed. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : R.B.KOKATANUR, (2013). EDUCATION SYSTEM IN VEDIC PERIOD. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. III, Issue.
