Explanation:
features of post vedic education :)
1. The ancient Indian education emerged from Vedas as they were the main sources of Indian philosophy of life.
2. The attitude of the people towards life was intellectual and spiritual, rather than materialistic. Their main objective was to attain salvation through education and that too through religious education.
3. Indian culture was surcharged with religious feelings and it was assigned prominent place in the field of education.
4. The forest home of the preceptor in the midst of calm, charming, natural surrounding served as the educational institution where the pupil lived after the Upanayana or initiation ceremony. The preceptor occupied the place of the father or guardian and was discharging the duties by shouldering the responsibility of his ward’s maintenance. Much emphasis was laid on the formation of character through ‘plain living and high thinking’.
5. The basis of admission was moral fitness and unimpeachable conduct. The pupils belonging to a lower order of moral conduct was forbidden to live in the house of the preceptor.
