India's rich heritage of knowledge needs to be brought in forefront for Bauddhik Atma nirbharta. The misconception that our scriptures are only about deities and rituals needs to be countered with facts and findings of ancient Rishis and Seers. We need to study the scriptures and utilise the knowledge hidden in these to take the Nation forward. Only the deep study of ancient wisdom will open a world of possibilities for the future.
