Ancient Indian Wisdom: Contributions Of Rishis to Science Education

Author(s) Yashi Goyal
Country India
Abstract This paper explores the profound role of Indian Rishis in shaping the Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) and its potential integration into modern science curricula. India's rich indigenous knowledge, rooted in ancient Rishis' contributions to various scientific domains, offers a unique perspective on knowledge transfer and learning. We analyse the philosophical, mathematical, astronomical, and medicinal insights from figures like Aryabhata, Sushruta, Charaka, and Patanjali, highlighting their alignment with contemporary scientific principles. The Rishis' emphasis on observation, experimentation, and holistic thinking, as seen in Vedic approaches, demonstrates an ancient yet compatible methodology for scientific inquiry. Furthermore, their pedagogical methods, including oral transmission and experiential learning in gurukulas, fostered critical thinking and originality. Incorporating IKS can address fragmented approaches in current science education, promoting a more holistic, culturally relevant, and rigorously scientific understanding. This integration also nurtures appreciation for sustainability, environmental stewardship, and ethical decision-making. The study advocates for a collaborative strategy combining modern pedagogy with indigenous perspectives to create an inclusive and comprehensive science education system, linking historical knowledge with cultural norms for meaningful learning.
Keywords Holistic learning, indigenous knowledge system (IKS), rishis, science education, sustainability
