Vedic Age
-Ashramas/Varnas/Gurukul
Hi you know who I am….
I will tell you about Vedic age
where I lived
That is my palace… but I miss my elder
brother who is at the Gurukul
We join the Gurukul… our school in the first stage of
life called Bramhachrayashram
Rig veda Sam veda
Yajur veda Atharva veda
We also learn archery
Can you name these
weapons
Some more
weapons
Chariots
Math
Yagna
Science
Medicine
They also teach about the four varna or strata
of society
Bramhins Kshatriyas
Vaishyas Shudras
IS you society also divided like mine???
After education…
you enter the next stage of
life called Grihastashra
m…. Heee..hee
Can you tell me what it is
Women can choose their
husbands at a ceremony called ‘Swayamwara’
When your children get married you retire to the forests and spend time with sage …
during ‘Vanaprasthas
hram’
Shhhh…that’s my grand dad there
among the crowd of people
After gaining spiritual
knowledge you spend time alone during the final stage
called ‘Sanyasashr
am’
Do you follow any of these
stages today?
