Abstract

In todays educational landscape, where academic success shapes the future of the learners, the intense competition for excellence often pushes them into the dark realm of anxiety and depression. This struggle results in isolation, identity crisis and gives birth to various health issues such as hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disorders and heightened aggression. Positive Psychology is a branch of psychology that emphasises on the importance of cultivating positive emotions such as joy, gratitude and contentment. It focuses on leveraging personal strengths and mental resilience to help individuals cope with lifes challenges more effectively. Bhagavad Gita holds an important place in Indian knowledge system as its timeless wisdom has guided the people over centuries. What positive psychology says today was said long back by Sri Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra to bring Arjuna out of sadness and confusion and prepare him for the war. Through this paper, an humble attempt has been made to explore the ideas of positive psychology from the perspective of Bhagavad Gita. KEYWORDS: Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Positive Psychology, Indian knowledge system, Stress Management, School Education.
从印度知识体系的视角理解积极心理学:《梵歌》的启示
在当今的教育环境中,学业成功与否决定着学习者的未来,而追求卓越的激烈竞争往往将他们推向焦虑和抑郁的黑暗境地。这种挣扎会导致孤独和身份危机,并引发各种健康问题,如高血压、肥胖、心血管疾病和攻击性增强。积极心理学是心理学的一个分支,强调培养积极情绪的重要性,如快乐、感恩和满足。它侧重于利用个人优势和心理复原力,帮助个人更有效地应对生活中的挑战。薄伽梵歌》在印度知识体系中占有重要地位,因为它永恒的智慧在过去几个世纪里一直指引着印度人民。积极心理学今天所说的话,是克里希纳在库鲁克谢特拉战场上为了让阿朱那走出悲伤和困惑,为战争做好准备而说的。本文试图从《薄伽梵歌》的视角探讨积极心理学的思想。关键词:《薄伽梵歌》、积极心理学、印度知识体系、压力管理、学校教育。
