Rote Learning: A Transcendental Bridge between Science & Spirituality

Abstract

For eons the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next generation took place primarily because of rote learning.Especially in India, the transcendental form of knowledge such as that of Veda's is preserved because of rote learning. It is no longer a secret truth that spiritual and value added education is as much required as that of scientific knowledge in view of the burgeoning crisis of inhuman acts such as barbarity and terrorism everywhere which if not controlled may engulf the whole human civilization. In rural and far flung areas, even science is learnt by rote learning initially and then in subsequent step it gets automatically converted to activity and creativity based learning with the help of incessant rumination process. So rote learning is sine-qua-non for establishing the symbiosis between science and spirituality from incubation stage to pragmatic stage in human civilization. An honest endeavor is made to resurrect the glory of unsung rote learningwhich otherwisewas in oblivion and abandoned state.
