Shikshaveda

"Shikshaveda is a groundbreaking exploration of holistic education that blends ancient Indian wisdom with modern pedagogical science. Drawing deeply from Ayurveda, NEP 2020, child psychology, and inclusive education, the book redefines what it means to teach and learn in today’s rapidly changing world.

At its heart, Shikshaveda argues that education is not just an intellectual activity—it is a mind–body–emotion–spirit experience. True learning happens when a child feels understood, nurtured, and balanced. By integrating Ayurvedic principles such as doshas, prakriti, sensory patterns, emotional rhythms, and wellness routines, the book presents a new model for schooling that is both scientific and deeply human.

Across eleven richly detailed chapters, the book covers:
• the philosophical roots of holistic learning,
• Ayurveda’s insight into child development,
• inclusive and special education,
• mindfulness & emotional intelligence,
• innovative pedagogy for modern classrooms,
• curriculum design that honours individuality,
• assessment and IEPs,
• and policy pathways for the future.

Rather than imposing one system over another, Shikshaveda creates a meaningful bridge between tradition and innovation. It invites teachers, parents, and policymakers to reimagine the classroom as a space of healing, exploration, creativity, and emotional safety.

In a world where children face increasing stress, overstimulation, and academic pressure, Shikshaveda offers a compassionate alternative—an educational philosophy rooted in balance, wellness, inclusivity, and the celebration of each child’s unique potential.

Shikshaveda is not merely a book—it is a vision for the future of Indian education"
