Ancient wisdom learning through multimedia means applied form of teachings of scriptures using more than one medium of expression or communication for enhancement of educational system for the welfare of an individual, society and the nation. Thus, present work focuses to impart knowledge-contents depicted in original sources using of a variety of artistic or communicative media such as manuscript, text, audio, images, animation, video etc. The term ‘Multimedia’ is opposed with media which uses only involving or limiting to basic mode like computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material(manuscripts). I have argued in this work that various thoughts of ancient scriptures have holistic approach while dealing with a situation or problem prevailing in modern educational system. Therefore, knowledge should be integrated with various form of modern education regardless to professional and traditional education.
4. Understanding Wisdom
1. How do you go about transforming an educational
system to include Ancient Wisdom teaching with
current student curriculum?
2. This Knowledge used effectively can help in the
creation of a more balanced and harmonious life
for the Student and the Planet.
3. How? This can be accomplished by using current
multimedia learning technologies and tools to
impart this Knowledge.
5. Current Technology and Beyond
Current Technology can be as simple as the common
Computer, to more advanced devices, that can
engage the student interactively. Challenges will have
to be overcome in all situations, but the need is to find
lasting solutions.
6. Deeds and Wisdom
The awareness and realization of the nature
accompanied by a set of deeds for fulfilling
the material and sensual pleasures result in
the growth of science and technology. But
they are neither holistic nor eternal. The
realization of the self and ultimately of
Brahman leads to the conquering of
ignorance and attaining of the holistic and
eternal higher knowledge and wisdom.
Hence, one who realizes the Brahman knows
every thing and the whole.

8. Nature of Consciousness and Mind
Consciousness has been considered one of the
ultimate mystery's, and study of this mystery has
been left to the greatest minds and philosophers of
all time. Humans are awarded this gift, and all can
study it, but it is still one of the greatest wonders!
9. tat tvam asi this is you
Cognitive abilities arise as you continually reflect on
the perceived world around you, and this reflection
is central to the mind – brain problem. Language
has always been limited when the discussion
approaches reality. Since reality cannot be
discussed it can only be experienced. You reach a
Paradox when you attempt to describe the
universe, and Brahman bridges the gap between
all Paradoxes. Consciousness is being examined
by Philosophers, Psychologists, Cognitive
Scientists, and Physicists, who still resist placing a
solid label on such a flow of information. Like the
stopping of molecules in a fast moving river.
10. Thou Art That
Past Indic visionaries delved into Consciousness with
original views regarding it. The Human Consciousness
is a pale echo of a larger system.
Hindu vision of the human spirit contains a spark of
illumination, and can flash as bright as light from the
sun.
Spirit being more than tree and sunlight, Hindu views
spirit as more than Brain, Heart, or the sustenance of
systems that provide fertile ground for it to exist.
11. chitta mind-stuff
A normal person gains knowledge through sense
perception. The five physical sense organs sight,
hearing, smell, taste, and touch get their sense data
from the objects of perception. They refer them to the
corresponding subtle sense organ in the subtle body.
Finally the information passes to the mind.
13. Cognitive Behavioral Science
In recent years Cognitive Sciences have tried to
develop a relational model for the Human mind-
brain system with comparisons such as a computer
model explanation. Relating the hardware
components to physical systems in the brain, and
software components to thought or behaviors.
Using analogy’s like to change behaviors
(thoughts) then change the program. A brain
model, using hardware analogy’s such as the hard
disk storage - acting like long term memories,
random access memory – acting like short term
memories, and the central processing unit – acting
as the behavior (thought) processing for the
individual.
14. Imagination Reality Change
Imagination can change our perception of reality – your mind can play
tricks making the illusion seem real. The imagination can spark the
feeling of things being inside and outside disassociating the ‘real’ world
from our internal imagined world. Practicing Mindfulness training can
actually transform your view of the world at the neuronal level –
Information from the Study at Weizmann Institute, Israel. Many
athletes imagine the race, and winning with the mental imagery being a
very strong motivator to help the road to victory. Some holistic imagery
consists of imagination towards healing or personal change – making
lasting change is not easy. It is like driving a battleship, you turn right,
but it is many miles before you are going in the right direction. This can
represent change in a human being if you do not keep the ending in
mind and work towards that end – you will not make the lasting
changes.
