Analogy between contemporary underlying factors in teaching with Taittiriya Upanishad

Abstract

The purpose is to understand the values of Indian education and its contemporary implication. Peace, teaching, pedagogy, perception and values, memory and knowledge recitation, and convocation are categorized as essentials of teaching in the Taittiriya Upanishad. These are essential to enhance the creativity of a learner and implement knowledge. The objective of this study is to explore the relevance of ancient Indian education in the current time. A mixed and multiple-stage method was employed, comprising a literature review, pilot studies, and an empirical survey questionnaire adopted in this research. After learners contemplate the teachings, they find a unique way to implement their wisdom. The Indian education values discuss self-exploration. Relationships between teacher–student, their psychology, family, and society are the context of the Guru–Shishya tradition. It shows the relevance of Traditional Indian Education in contemporary times and matches the objectives of the New Education Policy 2020, India. The need of the hour is education patterns and rethinking knowledge delivery. Today the Internet is a hub of information; however, information is transcended by a teacher. All 30 variables of the study are still relevant in contemporary times out of 32 variables given in the Taittiriya Upanishad.
