Research Findings
Sanatana Dharma and Local convergence
If you see Hindu Sastra based Dincharya, all animate-inanimate objects in neighborhood are considered part of the family. We don’t see them different. Impact of Prana is localized, was known fact to our society. Other researchers in the field of microbiology have also proved that the microbes are location-specific. Bird of same species has more local diet sharing with other species, sharing same GUT microbes. Similar results are found for bees and their GUT microbes.
We are connected and the most important connection is local. (Now, it is proven too by modern science yardstick 🙂 ) Being most powerful among this chain, it is our sva-dharma to take care of rest in our local environment. This is the way to make life sustainable, locally first, which turns global cumulatively. Instead of utopian ideas of global impact, try acting locally.
Education and Local Convergence
What local convergence research suggest is that, more than physical traits, behavioral traits converge in local environment. And if we are sharing behavior across species, imagine the impact on humans! That means, local environment plays critical role in shaping character of newborn! Entire education paradigm relies on it!
This research also proves the point the principles of Post-Upanayana education in the company of like-minded peers, Guru and mother nature!
At the least, education process must happen in the lap of mother nature!
Actionable concluding thoughts
Some actions come to my mind to take care of this Local convergence of behavior across species
Local species sustenance
- Feed the cow first
- Feed the ants
- Take care of trees and plants
- Maintain cleanliness, not limited your home boundary but expanded to neighborhood
Farming
- If you are farmer, avoid monocropping. Make your farm full of diversity!
Education
- If you are in education field, provide peer-living (residential school) facility
- More and more mother nature centered learning space
- Gau-shala, Farming, Forestation, Gardening should be integral and mandatory part of education
