The cost incurred for supply of new books should not be loaded on public exchequer, but should be recovered from the concerned guilty individuals !

Issue of text book of geography for 10th standard in which Arunachal Pradesh was shown as a part of China !

Mumbai : Recently an incident of showing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China in the text book of geography for 10th standard came to light. In this regard, Education Minister Rajendra Darda declared during an interview given to a news channel that the study group for geography would be suspended, and fresh books will again be supplied to 6,50,000 students. (It is necessary to punish the concerned individuals, who committed such a serious mistake, instead of merely being satisfied with suspensions of study group ! – Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’) Similarly, the Chief Minister Pruthviraj Chavan also conceded that there are innumerable mistakes in this text book and assured to take necessary action against guilty individuals.
Minister Darda further said, “The island group of Andaman-Nicobar and Lakshadweep are also missing from the above text book. (How a serious is mistake committed in the first place, in the Bharatiya map ? This is just a sample of disorderly management in the field of education ! - Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’) Sixteen lakh copies of the text book have been printed, out of which 6,50,000 copies have been sold. These books will be replaced, and fresh amended books will be made available. Similarly, a clarification in regard to the mistakes committed will shortly be issued in the monthly mouth piece of the Text Book Bureau ‘Shikshan Sankraman’. (We need the rulers who will ensure that mistakes will not be committed at all, instead of the rules who issue clarification after the committing the mistakes ! - Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’)

Teaching system used for curriculum is faulty ! - Retired teacher Prof. Vidyadhar Amrute

In this regard, a retired teacher for geography Prof. Vidyadhar Amrute who worked in the Text Book Bureau for several years said, “Undertaking improvements in the text book of geography is not the only issue, but the entire teaching system used for that subject is faulty. The subject of geography for 10th standard will be taught in parts. It is entirely wrong to teach geography from the regional point of view.”
Pathetic clarification lacking responsibility by Board for Secondary Education says, “The mistakes have occurred due to small size of maps.” (Board for Secondary Education covering own misdeeds by issuing silly explanations ! - Editor, Daily, ‘Sanatan Prabhat’)

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
