Abstract

Building up character in youth is possible by including moral teachings of ancient Indian scriptures in Indian education system. Scientific knowledge is useful but it has shut our eyes to the deeper nature of man and we miss what we ought to have known. Dissatisfaction with modern life is in the minds of those who are gifted with deeper awareness. Everyone has to undergo good and evil consequences of their acts. Evil thoughts and deeds produce conditions of suffering, good thoughts and deeds determine conditions of blessedness. Shri Krishna in the Bhagavadgita, teaches his friend Arjuna to perform the duties demanded by life, without expectation of any gain or reward. He regards the performance of one's duties without any hope of reward as the best worship of God. In modern age, unfortunately, everybody thinks more of his rights than of his duties.
