What are 64 NAVA VIDYA or 64 New Skills?
64 Nava Vidya translates to 64 New Skills
The ancient Indian education system is said to impart 64 Vidya or Kala or
Skills. Some of those skills may have become obsolete, but the plan was very
rich in inculcating finite and sophisticated proficiency.
As I understand, the system largely depended upon a simple
question-and-answer strategy. The purpose was to encourage the learner to seek
answers and strengthen the faculties of thinking.
A learner could get into the learning of as many skills as s/he sought.
There were no restrictions on any other dimension.
I like to use modern technological innovations to simulate the ancient
system.
Caution: If you are looking for a traditional teaching-learning system, you will be disappointed. I will never use any known methodology or pedagogy. Do not expect me to teach you anything! My job is to inform you about what I know. You can use it if it is helpful or discard it if you think it is not useful to you. It takes time for you to get adjusted to my approach. Please bear with me and I am sure that you will benefit a lot. If you are looking out for a certificate or career advancement or accreditation, there are hundreds of other channels available. 64 Nava Vidya is strictly for learning NEW SKILLS to enrich self-development.
Life provides us with so much abundance and at the same time with so much rubbish.
Our job is to filter out what we don’t need and take in
what we need.
Sometimes we may not use immediately what we take.
Learning to swim does not mean that we will spend the rest of our lives in the water
However, we don’t know which of these will be of help to us in the future.
So, let us keep taking in as much as we can so that it will be helpful
to us or to someone we know!
