Comprehension


Direction: While the modern India has made progress in various fields, the priceless intangible heritage of works like the Sama Veda have gone unnoticed-a great loss indeed. We have, it could be said, mindlessly pursed a line of development causing
unwelcome changes to the very fabric of our culture; not very different from iconoclastic behavior. In spite of the fact that a large number of rich Indians possess more wealth than the world's richest, we demonstrate such ignorance about the Vedas in general and Sama Veda in particular. One needs to find out why the world’s oldest composite literature on religion, sciences, humanities and spirituality attracts little public attention today. The yajnas, apart from their religious functions, were unfortunately termed as mere ‘rituals’ even by Indian scholars and so their secular significance has been undermined. It has been shown in a premiere scientific institute in Pune that the Yajna bhasma being of the size of nano-particles had positive effects on human health and the environment.

Direction: In my opinion, it is all about the skills that one possesses rather than merely a qualification or some league of institution that one has studied in. One’s thirst for knowledge is another crucial factor. People who succeed in their careers are inquisitive souls who are always in a quest for finding answers. They want to know more, look up information, ask people who know it better and get it right. A willingness to learn continuously is another common trait found in most successful people.
