Abstract
Teachers! Students and Lovers of education! The entire visible universe is a cosmic university. In it, every human being has to learn how to eat, to walk, to speak and do many other things. So, Nature is the first teacher. At birth, man is like an animal. The parents teach' the child how to develop its human faculties. If the parents did not undertake this task, the child would remain an animal. Thus, the second category of teachers for a man are his parents. The ancient sages felt that it was not enough to develop the human qualities in the child and therefore envisaged a system of .Samskaras (cultural training) for the spiritual development of the child. The Samskaras are intended not only to develop further the human qualities but also to eliminate all remnants of animal nature in man.
