SMRITI
literally means, “That which has been remembered.”
The great epics Ramayana and Mahabharata
the philosophical poem Bhagavad Gita, are part of
Srmriti
RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATA
These are national epics of India and
considered the sacred texts of the masses
where they draw their values and ideals (Jose
and Ong, 2016).
RAMAYANA
The Ramayana, translated as the “Story of Rama’s
Journey.”
The theme of the Ramayana, one of the two great
epic poems of India along with the Mahabharata, is
the importance of dharma, or doing one's duty. The
hero of the story, Rama, the prince of Aydohya,
follows his dharma at all stages of his life. When he
is young, he obeys his father.
Dharma
-is the most important thing in
the world, truth is established
because of it.
MAHABHARATA
The main theme of the Mahabharata is the idea of
sacred duty
Every character in the epic is born into a particular
social group, or caste, that must follow the duty
prescribed to it by sacred law. The characters who
perform their sacred duty are rewarded, while those
who do not are punished.
YOGA

'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. As
per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the
union of individual consciousness with that of the
Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect
harmony between the mind and body, Man & Nature
