Kavita Kaushik's open letter to Smriti Irani

Actress Kavita Kaushik, better known as TV's Chandramukhi Chautala, recently wrote an open letter to actress-turned-politician Smriti Irani. A keen reader of the Vedas, Kavita would like the Indian education system to include Vedanta teachings for our future generations.
The actress, in her letter, says, “I was introduced to Vedanta teachings at a stage in my life where I had it all -money, shallow fame, shallower friends and all that it takes to lead a `happy' material life, but I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown with the hollowness of dissatisfaction. I've found a Maseeha, an anchor not in any human being but in Vedanta.Wonder how I would have turned out if I had this knowledge from my childhood -all those years of crying in the hostel, fear and depression, fogged judgement of life, messing up most equations with people, wrong fearful decisions, regrets, etc would not have been there and I would have grown up to be the master of whatever I would pursue.“

Kavita hopes that the education system changes and rather than looking at the West, we can look within. She says, “With all due respect to the different western languages I learnt in school or the authors I read, I've not seen any use of `who art thou' or `thee thou how', besides watching Hindi movies made in their adaptation.Indeed, learning about other cultures and philosophical schools and comparing them to ours is a very healthy exercise for both personal and professional growth, but we have completely forgotten that India is the mother of unlimited wealth of knowledge which lies in our Vedas."
