India is the oldest civilized country in the world with its diverse cultures, traditions, customs, and traditions found abroad. Many of these are based on Indian writings and drawings, which have guided the way of life in India for thousands of years.
1. Gurukula Education System
The student learned from the guru and helped the supervisor in his or her daily life, including doing normal household chores. While living in Gurukula, students would be away from home for months to years. However, some scholars and the most important part of education include self-discipline among students.
At the end of a person's education, sishya gives the guru Dakshina a traditional act of confession, respect, and gratitude to the grandfather.
2. Vedic Mathematics
Veda is a Sanskrit word meaning 'Knowledge'. Using standard mathematical steps, problem-solving is sometimes complex and time-consuming. Vedic Mathematics is a collection of techniques / sutras for solving mathematical problems in a simple and fast way. It has 16 sutras (formula) and 13 sub-sutras that can be used for problems involved in arithmetic, algebra, conics, geometry, and calculus.
Vedic mathematics is a mathematical system acquired by Indian mathematicians discovered by Indian mathematician Jagadguru Shri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji in the period between AD "1911-1918". He published his findings in Tirthaji Maharaj's Vedic Mathematic's Book.
3. Family Structure
The family is run by a big man called 'Karta', usually, an old man, who makes decisions on economic and social issues on behalf of the whole family.
Different family members are called by different names. The type of relationship also varies. Relationships can be about equality, mutual respect, or natural humor. However, modern independence has become a threat to the united family, and those living in modern, united families find themselves trapped or enslaved under the watchful eye of many family members.
In the traditional Hindu family, there is a close relationship between the brothers' wives: The ancestral wife is called "Bade Bhabhi" (in Hindi), which means "the wife of her older brother." Traditionally she is regarded as the housewife and is in charge of domestic affairs and supervising the staff (if any). The wives of the following brothers often seek his advice and approval in any matters/decisions regarding family and child-rearing.
4. Architecture - Science in Beautiful Temples
Ancient Indian architecture is the construction of the Indian subcontinent from the Indian Bronze Age to about 800 CE. Hinduism was the predominant and religious architectural and religious style that took forms, with the great diversity of the region, which kept them largely far beyond the radical changes brought about by the advent of early Islam, then by Europeans.
Most of the original Indian construction was made of wood, which has always rotted or crumbled, or brick. Commonly taken for future use. The large number of Indian stone carvings, dating to about the year 250 BCE, is therefore of great importance, for much of it is clearly changing forms in the structures that were then built without examples. There are also many important sites where the ground floor plan survived excavating, but the upper parts of the buildings disappeared.
5. Vedas Judicial System
Compared with modern law, ancient Hindu law was a different legal system as it followed a unique system of law and respect for a unique system of values. Ancient India represented a different legal system and had a historically independent school of legal beliefs and practices.
The main purpose of the law in the Vedic period was to preserve "dharma" which means righteousness and work. Dharma contains legal and religious activities. It encompasses not only the rules and regulations of the court, but also a variety of human activities such as ritual cleansing, personal hygiene regimes, and dress codes. Dharma has provided the basic guidance on how a person tries to live his life.
6. Indian Clothing - Indian Ethnic Dress
Clothing in India depends on the ethnicity, geography, climate, and culture of the people of each Indian region. Historically, men's and women's clothing has evolved into simple garments such as kaupina, langota, achkan, lungi, sari, gamcha, and loincloths to cover the body with beautiful garments that are used not only for everyday wear but also for festive occasions, and customs and dances.
In urban areas, western clothing is common and is worn in the same way by people of all social classes. India also has great diversity in terms of weaves, threads, colors, and clothing items. In some cases, color codes are followed in clothing that is based on the religion and culture involved. Clothing in India also includes various types of Indian embroidery, paintings, handicrafts, embellishments, dress styles. A wide range of traditional Indian clothing and western styles can be seen in India.
7. Scriptures
Hindu writings are manuscripts and interesting historical books related to any of the various cultures within Hinduism. There are a few texts that have been shared with services in all of these cultures and are widely regarded as Hindu texts. These include Puranas, Ihasa, and Vedas. Scholars are hesitant to define the term "Hindu texts" given to various Hinduism, but many count the Bhagavad Gita and Agamas as Hindu texts, while Dominic Goodall lists the Bhagavata Purana and Yajnavalkya Smriti in the list of Hindu texts.
8. Vedic Astrology
Jyotisha or Jyotishya (from Sanskrit jyotiṣa, from jyóti- "light, celestial body") is a traditional Hindu astrology system, also known as Hindu astrology, Indian astrology, and more recently Vedic astrology. The word Hindu astrology has been used as the English word Jyotiṣa since the early 19th century, and Vedic astrology is a relatively recent term, first used in the 1970s with self-help books on Ayurveda or yoga.
Vedanga Jyotisha, one of the earliest references to the stars within the Vedas. Some scholars believe that astrology practiced on the Indian subcontinent originated with Hellenistic influences, however, this is a point of contention and some scholars believe that Jototism developed independently even though it may have been associated with Greek astronomy.
9. Indian Martial Arts
Indian Martial Arts refers to martial arts programs on the Indian subcontinent. Various English terms are used, such as "Indian karate arts", often from Dravidian sources. While it may seem to define certain areas (e.g. archery, armed combat), in ancient times they were widely used in all combat systems.
Among the most common words today, raastra-vidyā, is a combination of the words śastra (weapon) and vidyā (knowledge). Dhanurveda is derived from the words bow (dhanushya) and knowledge (veda), the “science of archery” in the Puranic literature, which later became applied to martial arts. The Vishnu Purana inscription describes dhanuveda as one of eighteen traditional branches of "applied knowledge" or upaveda, as well as shastrashastra or military science. The future word, yuda kalā, comes from the words you meaning to fight or flight and kalā meaning art or skill. The related word śastra kalā (lit. Art art) usually refers to the armed forces. Another term, buddha-vidyā or "martial arts", refers to the skills used on the battlefield, which include not only real combat but also military tactics and tactics. Martial arts are often studied and practiced in traditional akharas.
10. Eating by Hand
All Indians wash their hands before eating, and then eat with their fingers, using small incisions. This practice is historic and is based on the premise that food is the work of the flesh, and touch is part of the experience and taste, the aroma of food, and its presentation as a talisman, or on a large plate made of washed banana leaf (used in the south), or sewn and washed (used) north. Traditionally, fingers are also used to feel the heat of food in a person's taste and to combine taste.
When the rice is eaten, it is mixed with curry, picks up a small amount with your fingers, and puts in your mouth with your thumb. When eating bread, small portions (roti, naan) are placed in a small pocket to measure the desired amount of curry. Most foods are prepared for the coating, but if served with large items such as chicken leg, it is acceptable to eat by hand
11. Fasting System
According to the Bhagavad Gita, there are three types of behavior, thinking, food, and lifestyle, and Satwa, Tamas, and Rajas. A person with a Satwik mind is relaxed and intelligent. A Rajasic mentor is full of ambition and selfishness, and the Tamasic man is full of evil thoughts and destruction. Each of us faces two situations of thought. A Satwik person is always yoga or Rishi. Most of us are complacent. We need to learn to be balanced so that we do not drift into Rajsic and Tamsic minds all the time.
Veda fasting is a process in which we try to keep our mind and body in a Sawa state for 24 hours. Therefore, it includes total devotion and morality, deliberately living a full life in Sawa. It includes avoiding Rajsic and Tamsic objects by deliberate effort.
In our Vedic rites, the consciousness or the soul is represented by God. All offerings to God, therefore, can only be Satwik in nature. Whether God is regarded as an idol, an image, or a feeling, or whatever we give to Him we offer our body on the day of Vedic fasting.
Milk, ghee, fruit, leaves, dried fruit, etc. are offered to God and the same, therefore, becomes our food on the day of Vedic fasting. These natural fruits and nutrients enhance Satwa in our body.
According to the Bhagavad Gita anything can be sour, salty, spicy, fried, frozen, animal meat, eggs, etc. It promotes Rajas or Tamas in the body so it should not be taken on the day of Vedic fasting. A fast Vedic can be water quickly, milk fast, fruit fast, etc.
