:The Past and Present Glory of Nalanda University
(Introduction) Hello and welcome to our channel! Today, we're delving into the captivating history of Nalanda University, one of the most prestigious centers of learning in ancient times. Let's uncover its glorious past, the tragedy of its destruction, and its remarkable revival in the modern era.
(Section 1: The Past Glory of Nalanda University) Nalanda University, established in the 5th century CE, was located in the ancient kingdom of Magadha, present-day Bihar, India. It was an intellectual powerhouse under the patronage of the Gupta Empire. This university wasn't just a place of learning but a thriving hub of knowledge and culture, attracting scholars from across Asia, including China, Korea, Japan, Tibet, Mongolia, Turkey, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia.
Nalanda housed over 10,000 students and 2,000 teachers at its peak. It offered a vast array of subjects, including theology, philosophy, grammar, logic, astronomy, and medicine. The university's library, Dharmaganja, was one of the greatest repositories of knowledge, containing hundreds of thousands of manuscripts.
The architectural marvels of Nalanda included stupas, temples, lecture halls, and residential quarters, spread over a sprawling campus. It was not just a Buddhist learning center but also a beacon of scientific and literary progress, producing renowned scholars like Aryabhata and Xuanzang.
(Section 2: The Destruction of Nalanda University) The glory of Nalanda University came to a devastating end in 1193 CE. Bakhtiyar Khilji, a Turkic Muslim general of the Ghurid dynasty, led an invasion that resulted in the university's destruction. He burned down the great library of Nalanda, turning countless invaluable manuscripts into ashes. This tragic event marked the decline of Buddhist learning in India and left Nalanda in ruins for centuries.
(Section 3: The Present Glory of Nalanda University) In the 21st century, the legacy of Nalanda was revived with the establishment of the new Nalanda University near the ancient site. The Nalanda University Act, passed by the Indian Parliament in 2010, laid the foundation for this modern incarnation.
The new Nalanda University campus is designed to be environmentally sustainable and culturally vibrant, reflecting the holistic learning approach of ancient Nalanda. Today, Nalanda University once again attracts students and scholars from around the globe, rekindling the legacy of this ancient seat of knowledge.
