Education of the Body in Ancient India – Book Excerpts

Book of the Month, Culture, Education, Society / By Kireet Joshi / June 21, 2021

India has had a long history of physical education. The heroes that India gave to herself represent not only great qualities of courage and valour but also of physical strength and excellence. In ancient India, there was an emphasis on the pursuit of an integral aim of life, which determined the discipline of integral education. Both the material and spiritual poles of the being had their place in this system.

An excellent presentation of various articles, programmes and books.
Artistic and joyful -- that is the take away from Renaissance!

Dr. Ananda Reddy Sri Aurobindo Center for Advanced Research, Puducherry

Last evening on the Renaissance website I read twice the whole journal. It's nicely design and edited. "All can be done if God's touch is there."
The more we read and contemplate, the more this truth works within.

Harvinder Pal Kaur Writer, Sadhak

The relaunched Renaissance looks great. I read a few articles and have bookmarked the YouTube conversation. Great editing and organisation of rich content. Wishing the team all the best for the journal and other pursuits. Blessed you are by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

Deep compliments for the Renaissance team the way you have revamped and represented the presentations, articles of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother so nicely in the journal. You have shifted some moulds somewhere and the output is intellectually inspiring and reflective.

The contents in Renaissance issues are absorbing and relevant to themes highlighted. I do benefit from the same.
Do keep up the mission of spreading messages of relevance gleaned from the writings of Mother and Sri Aurobindo for betterment to many of us.
