The Big Questions (page 105)

1. Vedas kya hain? Unka sandesh kya hai?

Vedas, yaani Rig, Yajur, Sama aur Atharva Veda, India ke sabse purane texts hain. Inme rishiyon aur rishikaon ke Sanskrit ke shuruaati roop mein rache hazaaron hymns hain, jo 100 se 200 peedhiyon tak zubaani aage badhe. Inka sandesh: param satya ek hai, chaahe rishi use kai naam dein (ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti); satya aur ritam, yaani satya aur vyavastha, banaaye rakhne chahiye; aur log ek mann aur uddeshya ke saath ekta se rahein. Upanishads jodte hain ki sabme ek hi divya saar hai, isliye sab jeev jude hain, jaise prarthana ‘sab jeev sukhi hon’.

2. 1st millennium BCE mein kaunse naye schools of thought bane? Unke mool siddhaant kya hain?

School	Mool siddhaant
Vedanta	sab kuch ek divya saar, brahman, hai; atman usi se ek hai
Yoga	apni chetna mein brahman ko anubhav karne ke tareeke
Buddhism	agyaan aur moh dukh ki jad hain; ahimsa; bheetari anushaasan
Jainism	ahimsa, anekantavada (kai pehlu waala satya), aparigraha (non-possession)
Charvaka	sirf bhautik duniya hai; maut ke baad koi zindagi nahi

Inme dharma, karma, punarjanm, aur dukh aur agyaan ke ant ki khoj saanjhi thi.

3. Bharatiya sanskriti mein folk aur tribal paramparaon ka kya yogdaan hai?

Inhone samriddh maukhik paramparayein aage badhaayi; Puri ke Jagannath aur maa devi ke kai roop jaise devta diye; Hinduism ke saath dono taraf vichaar, kathayein aur rasmein baanti; ye vichaar zinda rakha ki pahaad, nadiyan, ped aur jaanwar pavitra hain; aur Donyipolo aur Singbonga jaise param devta ki apni samajh rakhi. Nateeja hai aapsi samriddhi.

Vedic samaaj (page 109)

Let’s Explore: apne neta khud chunna (sample, lagbhag 120 shabd). Jis samaaj mein log apne neta khud chunte hain, use democracy kehte hain. Jab log neta chunte hain, to neta jaante hain ki unhe sabki baat sunni aur sabke liye kaam karna hoga, warna agli baar wo nahi chune jaayenge. Log apne vichaar rakh sakte hain, sawaal poochh sakte hain aur faislon mein hissa le sakte hain, isliye kaanoon zyaada nyaaypoorn aur sweekaarya hote hain. Samasyayein khulkar uthaayi aur shaanti se suljhaayi ja sakti hain. Jab log aise netaon ke neeche rehte hain jinhe unhone nahi chuna, to wo neta sirf apna ya kuch doston ka bhala kar sakte hain. Log bolne se dar sakte hain, unki zaroorat anadekhi ho sakti hai, aur galat niyam lambe samay tak chal sakte hain. Vedic sabha aur samiti dikhaati hain ki milkar charcha karne ka vichaar India mein bahut purana hai.

Vedic schools of thought (page 110)

Think About It: sandesh waali ek kahaani (sample). Panchatantra ki bandar aur magarmachh ki kahaani: jab magarmachh dhokhe se bandar ka dil lena chahta hai, to bandar kehta hai ki dil to ped par chhod aaya, aur bach nikalta hai. Ye museebat mein dimaag thanda rakhna aur soch-samajhkar bharosa karna sikhaati hai. Upanishad ki Nachiketa ki kahaani ek aur moolya sikhaati hai: jab tak samajh na aaye, sawaal poochhte raho.

Buddhism (page 115)

Let’s Explore: patthar ka panel aur Buddhism aaj kahan hai (sample).

• Panel: Buddha beech mein khade hain, baaki sabse bade, sir ke peechhe prabhaamandal ke saath. Unka chehra shaant hai, chogha naram silvaton mein girta hai, aur ek haath aise utha hai jaise wo sikha rahe hon. Aas-paas ke log unki taraf mudkar sunte hain, kuch haath jode. Sab kuch nazar ko unki aur unke shabdon ki taraf le jaata hai.
• Jahan Buddhism aaj bhi bada dharm hai: India mein Ladakh, Sikkim aur Arunachal Pradesh mein bade Buddhist samudaay hain, aur Maharashtra mein bhi bahut Buddhist hain. Bahar: Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Bhutan, Mongolia, Japan aur Vietnam. Inhe duniya ke map par dikhao.

Jainism (page 118)

Let’s Explore: Jain mandir ka panel (sample). Ek sher aur ek gaay ek hi bartan se saath-saath paani pee rahe hain, dono ke bachche paas mein. Khaas baat ye hai ki shikaari aur uska aam shikaar shaanti se paani baant rahe hain. Sandesh ahimsa ka hai: jahan hinsa nahi, wahan dar nahi, aur sab jeev mel se reh sakte hain.

Think About It: vichaar mein ahimsa. Ahimsa mann se shuru hoti hai. Jab hum kisi ke liye, ya khud ke liye, bura bhaav mehsoos karein, to ruk sakte hain, us par amal na karein, aur use achhe vichaar mein badal sakte hain, jaise us insaan ka bhala chaahna.

Sirf dharm nahi, schools of thought (page 119)

Think About It. Book ‘religion’ shabd se bachti hai, kyunki in schools ke kai pehlu hain: darshanik (asliyat ke sawaal), spiritual (oonchi chetna ki khoj), dhaarmik (pooja aur rasmein), naitik (ahimsa jaise moolya) aur saamaajik (saath rehne ke tareeke). Jaise, har dharm ke log Yoga ko ek anushaasan ki tarah karte hain, aur Buddhist aur Jain seekh naitikta aur darshan ki bhi pranaali hai. ‘Schools of thought’ ise behtar dikhaata hai.

Questions, activities and projects (page 123)

1. Agar tum Nachiketa hote (sample, lagbhag 120 shabd)

Aadarniya Yama, aap kehte hain ki atman na janm leta hai na marta hai. To asal mein main kaun hoon: mera shareer, mera mann ya kuch aur gehra? Agar Self mar nahi sakta, to log maut se itna darte kyun hain, aur main us dar ko kaise chhodun? Maut ke baad insaan ka atman kahan jaata hai, aur kya use kuch yaad rehta hai? Jo janm leta hai uska ant kyun hota hai? Kya duniya mein kuch aisa hai jo kabhi nahi badalta? Mujhe kaise jeena chahiye taaki meri zindagi achhi aur doosron ke kaam ki ho? Kya mere jaisa bachcha khud satya jaan sakta hai, ya sirf mahaan rishi? Aur aakhir mein, aapne mujhe itna intezaar karaakar pariksha kyun li?

2. Buddhism ke mukhya vichaar

• Dukh ke kaaran hain: avidya (agyaan) aur moh; inhe hatao to dukh khatm.
• Ahimsa: chot na pahunchaana, kaam mein aur vichaar mein.
• Bheetari anushaasan: pavitrata andar ke satya aur dharma se aati hai, aur khud ko jeetna sabse badi jeet hai.
• Sangha: bhikshuon aur bhikshuniyon ka samudaay jo seekh ko jeeta aur phailaata hai.
• Tippani: ye vichaar vyavahaarik aur sabke liye khule hain. Ye doosron ko dosh dene ki jagah apne mann par kaam karna sikhaate hain, aur karuna par inka zor, jaise bandaron ke raja ki Jataka katha mein, aaj bhi Asia bhar mein logon ko raah dikhaata hai.

3. “Not by water is one made pure” (charcha ke points)

• Pavitra nadi mein nahaane se shareer saaf hota hai, par mann ka gussa, laalach ya beimaani nahi dhulti.
• Insaan sach mein pavitra tab hai jab usme satya aur dharma, yaani sahi aacharan, basta hai.
• Apne gusse, dar aur aalas ko jeetna hazaar yuddh jeetne se zyaada mushkil, aur bada, hai.
• Saar: baahari rasmon se zyaada andar ka badlaav zaroori hai.

4. Jainism ke mukhya vichaar

• Ahimsa: kisi jeev ko maarna, chot pahunchaana, sataana ya bhagaana nahi chahiye.
• Anekantavada: satya ke kai pehlu hain; koi ek kathan use poora nahi pakadta.
• Aparigraha: non-possession; sirf zaroori cheezein rakho.
• Ek doosre par nirbharta: insaan se lekar sookshm jeevon tak, sab ek doosre ka sahaara hain.
• Tippani: anekantavada doosron ke nazariye ka samman sikhaata hai, aur aparigraha kam upbhog, jisse log mel se rehte hain aur prakriti bachti hai.

5. Andre Beteille ka vichaar (charcha ke points)

• Beteille kehte hain ki India ki jaatiyon aur tribes ne itihaas se pehle se ek doosre ke vishvaason aur rivaajon ko dono taraf se prabhaavit kiya hai.
• Chapter ke udaharan: Puri ke Jagannath aur maa devi ke kai roop tribal paramparaon se aaye, jabki kuch tribes ne Hindu devta apnaaye aur unke paas Mahabharata aur Ramayana ke apne roop hain.
• Isliye Bharatiya sanskriti kisi ek samooh ka doosre ko diya tohfa nahi; ye lambe len-den se badhi, aur tribal sanskritiyan samman ki haqdaar hain, ‘primitive’ jaise thappon ki nahi.

6. Devi-devta aur tyohaar (sample)

Devi-devta	Tyohaar
Ganesha	Ganesh Chaturthi
Durga	Durga Puja aur Navratri
Jagannath	Rath Yatra (Puri)
Krishna	Janmashtami
Rama	Ram Navami; Diwali
Lakshmi	Diwali
Shiva	Mahashivratri
Saraswati	Vasant Panchami
Surya	Chhath; Pongal

Apne ilaake ke devi-devta aur unse jude tyohaar bhi jodo.

7. Tribal samooh (sample; book se bahar ki baatein Extra hain)

Ilaaka	Tribal samooh, kala aur vishvaas
Jharkhand	Munda, Santhal: Singbonga ki pooja (book se); Sohrai deewar chitra (Extra)
Arunachal Pradesh	kai tribes, jaise Adi (Extra): Donyipolo, Sooraj aur Chaand (book se)
Tamil Nadu	Nilgiris ke Toda: pavitra chotiyan (book se); baareek kadhaai (Extra)
Maharashtra	Warli: roz ki zindagi ke Warli chitra (Extra)
Madhya Pradesh	Gond: prakriti aur kahaniyon ke Gond chitra (Extra)

Class activity: Yama aur Nachiketa (sample yojana)

Ek student Yama bane, shaanti se baitha; Nachiketaon ka ek samooh baari-baari Question 1 ke sawaal poochhe, jaise ‘main kaun hoon?’ ya ‘maut ke baad kya hota hai?’. Yama chapter ke vichaaron se jawab de: atman na janm leta hai na marta hai, aur sab kuch juda hai. Aakhir mein har Nachiketa ek seekhi hui baat bataaye.

Aur padho Vedas kya hain? aur Buddhism aur Jainism mein.
