A value is a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful. Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, every individual has a core set of personal values. Values can range from the commonplace, such as the belief in hard work and punctuality, to the more psychological, such as self-reliance, concern for others, and harmony of purpose.

NEED OF MYTHOLOGY FOR VALUE NEED OF MYTHOLOGY FOR VALUE EDUCATIONEDUCATION

When there was very little education in the past it was only these mythological stories which created human values and passed them on from one generation to another. Even in this modern age we understand ourselves and our society better when we learn from our mythological fairy tales. If we don’t give mythological examples it will fade away from the memories of our future generation.

When man was living in the barbaric When man was living in the barbaric age he hardly had any sense of age he hardly had any sense of values because the need for values values because the need for values arises only when mans life becomes arises only when mans life becomes meaningful and secure. So, if you do meaningful and secure. So, if you do not have any values you are as good not have any values you are as good as a caveman.as a caveman.

• The word "myth" comes from the Greek word mythos, which means a spoken or written story. A collection of myths is called a "mythology." The purpose of a myth is to explain human experience. Many events in a myth are not realistic or based on fact, since the message communicated by the story is more important than telling about an actual event.

• These myths were descended to us from our ancestors, so sometimes these stories are not very accurate. In this presentation, we are focusing on learnings from mythological stories

• Indian mythology dates back to 7200 B.C. when the first hymns of the RIGA VEDA was composed. The hymns of the RIG VEDA are the first and the freshest expressions of the sense of beauty and gladness awakened in the Aryan race by the charms and the bounty of nature. What began as a celebration of natural elements such as Air, Water and Fire was converted into the worship of cosmic elements

What is Mythology?

Raja Harishchandra was a truthful king. He was the 36th king of the solar dynasty. His legend is very popular and often told as a benchmark for an ideal life. He was renowned for his piety and justice. His name is Sanskrit for "having golden splendor". Harishchandra had two unique qualities. The first being, he kept his word and never went back on what he uttered as a promise. The other being, he never uttered a lie in his life. These twin qualities were tested heavily in his life by various circumstances that led him to penury and separation from his family. But he stood to his principles in the face of all ordeals and persevered to become a symbol of courage.

THE FORGOTTEN VALUES……..

The nature lovers who sacrificed their livesChipko movement

The chipko movement is social-ecological movement that was practiced through the act of hugging trees to protect them from being felled.

The first recorded event of Chipko however, took place in village Khejarli, Jodhpur district, in 1731, when 363 Bishnois, led by Amrita Devi sacrificed their lives while protecting green Khejri trees, considered sacred by the community, by hugging them, and braved the axes of loggers sent by the local ruler.

Indian freedom fighters with their true spirit and undaunted courage had faced various tortures, exploitations and hardships to earn us freedom. There are endless number of men and women other than the above list who daringly fought for India’s freedom.

Remember grand mom’s stories……

Grand mother telling panchantantra stories to children so that they can learn the values like forgiveness, truth, peace, harmony, humanity etc

JOINT FAMILY SYSTEM

HELPING SOMEONE

RESPECTING ELDERS

CLEANING OUR MOTHERLAND

Fighting over religion

Deforestation

Disrespect for elders

Dirty roadsOur drowning Indian values

"The Importance of Values and Morals are the code we live by in a civil and just society. They are what we use to guide our interactions with others, with our friends and family, in our businesses and professional behavior. Our values and morals are a reflection of our spirituality; our character. They are what we hope to model for our children and the children around us, because children do watch us as they develop their own sense of right and wrong.

According to Father of Indian Nation M.K.Gandhi"If wealth is lost nothing is lost""If health is lost something is lost""If character is lost everything is lost"Best of all things is character.

What are values ?What are values ?

Values are the accepted principles or standards of a person or a group.

Values are obtained in many different ways. However, the role of the family and the educational institution is most important in developing an individual's values.

Our ancient Values

In ancient times values were learnt first from the joint family and later from the gurukul.

Gurukul was like a boarding school were the shishyas (students) lived in the same house with their guru (teacher) as one big family. All shishyas were treated as equal. The guru used to impart his wisdom, knowledge and values to the shishyas. The shishyas in turn helped the guru in day to day chores like cooking, washing, cleaning, filling water from river or well, taking care of animals, gardening etc.Later, after completing their studies the shishyas use to offer the guru dakshina to their guru as a token of respect and thanks. Then the shishayas used to return to their families with full of wisdom and values so that they could become a good social person.

Times have changed – Modern timesIn the modern times, family structure has changed from joint

family to nuclear family. This is the major factor that has brought a change in the values of the individual. People tend to become materialistic, greedy, jealous, dishonest, cunning & shrewed. Therefore, most of them suffer from depression also. This has increased aggressiveness, violence and intolerance in the society. All the above are directly effecting the value system of the children. Disobedience and aggressiveness is seen as a common feature among the children to their parents & teachers.
