Traditional knowledge, modern education

We need to document the rich home-grown knowledge system and save it for posterity.

Several reputed higher educational institutions around the globe, such as MIT, Massachusetts and Maharishi International University, Iowa in the United States; IITs and IIMs in India; and institutions in China, are either offering academic programmes in yoga or trying to incorporate several aspects of traditional knowledge in their curricula. Likewise, courses on transcendental meditation and consciousness-based education are being offered. More importantly, such courses and techniques enhance learning by eliminating stress, increasing creativity, and developing inner stability. Research evidence suggests that such programmes raise well-being and overall quality of life.
