Anu-Chintanam

Chanakya Niti, also known as Chanakya Neeti or Chanakya Sutra, is a collection of aphorisms and teachings attributed to Chanakya, an ancient Indian scholar, economist, philosopher, and royal advisor. Chanakya is believed to have lived in the 4th century BCE and was a key figure in the Maurya Empire, particularly during the reign of Emperor Chandragupta Maurya.

Chanakya Niti provides insights into various aspects of life, including politics, governance, economics, ethics, and personal conduct. The teachings of Chanakya in Niti Shastra (the science of politics) are still considered relevant and influential in Indian society.

It’s important to note that while Chanakya Niti contains valuable insights, it is also a product of its time and context. Some of its teachings may reflect the socio-political environment of ancient India and might need to be interpreted and adapted to modern circumstances.

Chanakya’s teachings have been widely studied and appreciated not only in India but also in other parts of the world. His work continues to inspire individuals in the fields of politics, leadership, and personal development.

येषां न विद्या न तपो न दानं,
ज्ञानं न शीलं न गुणो न धर्मः ।
ते मर्त्यलोके भुविभारभूता,
मनुष्यरूपेण मृगाश्चरन्ति ॥ चाणक्य नीति / 10 / 7

Those who have neither knowledge, nor penance, nor charity, nor modesty, nor virtue nor religion.
They are a burden on this earth and roam around like deer/animals in human form.

जिन लोगों के पास न तो विद्या है, न तप, न दान, न शील, न गुण और न धर्म।
वे लोग इस पृथ्वी पर भार हैं और मनुष्य के रूप में मृग/जानवर की तरह से घूमते रहते हैं।

ಜ್ಞಾನವಾಗಲೀ, ತಪಸ್ಸಾಗಲೀ, ದಾನವಾಗಲೀ, ನಮ್ರತೆಯಾಗಲೀ, ಸದ್ಗುಣವಾಗಲೀ, ಧರ್ಮವಾಗಲೀ ಇಲ್ಲದವರು.
ಅವು ಈ ಭೂಮಿಗೆ ಭಾರವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಮನುಷ್ಯ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಿಂಕೆ/ಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳಂತೆ ಸುತ್ತಾಡುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತವೆ.
