However, I have been going through the process of reading these texts through approporiate methods. I mean bu reading Bhagavad Gita by Late Shri P.N.Shastri, Vijeshwar Panchang Karyalya, Ajit Colony Gole Gujral Jammu and by other well known personalities in the subject matter. While reading Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, I noticed that some of the basic components of educational philosophy are present. I could understand the concept of creation of universe, End of the Universe, Energy and Soul, Science of Yoga and Meditation, Counselling and so many other aspects. It is my belief and attempt to explore the scientific understanding on these aspects with correlation of relevant verses there in the scripture.
