Abstract
There are very good universities in different parts of the world today. Some of them like Sorbonne or Paris university in France oxford and Cambridge in England have been in existence for a very long time. There are others likeHarvard Wisconsin and Philadelphia in America and yet other in others parts of the world but none commands as much respect as Nalanda did, none has got that prestigious and privileged position as it skill enjoys today, although the Nalanda mahavihara the name of the ancient university was demolished as for back as in the beginning of the thirteenth century. A small Institute started in 1951 by lovers and patrons of culture in order to resuscitate the ancient glory of Nalanda is regarded as the nalanda university by all Buddhist countries and even by those western scholars who are greatly interested in Buddhists studies.
Introduction:
Before Nalanda university came into existence there was only once university in the whole world. It was Takshashila university in India. In pali literature we find its name mentioned with great reverenced. Jivaka komarabhacca who was the personal physician of lord Buddha received his education both theroretical and practical at Takshashila which at that time was a great center of medical training besides other secular subjects.
In the Ancient university of Nalanda the admission was so difficult that only two or three out of ten were selected by the rest were rejected by the learned dwarpandit some of them who were rejected around Nalanda and equipped themselves so that they could not be rejected next time. The present Nava Nalanda mahavihara enjoyed the same prestige and distinction at least in its early years of establishment.
