foreign [Music] we will be discussing about the gateway to ancestral wisdom in which we will be discussing how our ancestors helped us in guiding throughout the life through various sources of knowledge so first the question which comes into our mind is whether we need this ancestral wisdom what is the use of this ancient wisdom which is ancient which is old that old things never help us in new problems so what is the need of this ancestral wisdom when we look for this we really have the need of this ancestral wisdom because human beings face several challenges and moral and ethical dilemmas in life and constantly look for guidance to resolve them for example in the present day we have been seeing that the husband and wife are never going together they keep fighting sometimes the sun is not up to the mark of the father so father is not happy with the son sometimes the boss is not happy with the employer employee is not happy with the employer employer is not happy with the employee so these type of challenges keep on disturbing the human mind as well as the society so now the question comes what is the solution so here is where the ancestral wisdom help us similarities desirable to look back and understand how the ancestors address the issues that they have faced these problems are not new when we we have heard many stories from our grandfathers and grandmothers now in those stories we have been seeing that there are many problems which they have solved but how did they solve it so there's their wisdom through Ages come into practice they have accumulated experience of the people the inference is made out of the situations faced and experiments conducted they have seen that there are challenges so they tried to find out the answer for those challenges through the experiences of the people they went to the people asked what are the challenges and how did you come off this challenge similarly through the situations they have faced they came up with answers for those they have conducted various experiments for those problems and through those also they came up with the solutions they shared and stored the posterity through literary works now where this experiments went where these inferences went where this experience is gone so those are actually stored in the literary Works written by them documented by them now is that only thing which we find means the problems of the life or there are there are something else which can be found in wisdom through ages or which can be found through ancestors so here is the answer that not only that we can also Find the cultural practices History Science and Technology social Customs assumptions about life and prevailing know-how so these are the answers which we can get from The ancestral wisdoms now where are this hidden so this is fine this can be found in puranas and itihasas because is the main category which we can found for the wisdom which we are getting from the ancestors there are some other part of Literature Like neeti shastra and subhashitas those also show us the path towards the beautiful and happy life so these are the sources from which we get the wisdom puranas like bhagavata Etc these are the collection of stories and collection of historical happenings similarly we have itihasas like Mahabharata and ramayana we have neeti sastra Niti itself means which leads so this is the discipline which leads the human being similarly we have subhashitas the set of beautiful words which helps in Social growth so in this whole video we have seen that what are the need of puranas how does wisdom through ages can help us and in next video we will be discussing what are the puranas we will go in detail about the puranas so please wait and see thank you [Music]
