Rishyasringa

            RETOLD FROM THE MAHABHARATA

The story of Rishyasringa, as told in the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata, is a plea for liberal education. Insulated education makes for inadequate development of body and mind in the sense that it is insecure, being subject to the influence of wordly forces. Liberal education, on the other hand, is a guarantee against the trauma of subsequent and sudden revelations. It is a measure of the strength of the moral fibre of ascetic India that the restraints of up-bringing imposed on Rishyasringa led him not to ignorance but to innocence. It was untainted and therefore responsible for his achievement of bringing rains and fertility to a parched and barren land.
