I agree with Nehas post. All those mentioned by Meha still holds a relevance and significance in our society today. In addition to it are:

1) Ayurveda – The Ayurveda system of medicine has only grown its significance in the past few decades with many more people trying out a combination of Ayurveda, Naturopathy etc for treating diseases.

2) Yoga – The various forms of Yoga has grown in its importance today with even the western world embracing it. The International Yoga day only validates the importance of Yoga in today’s world.

3) The traditional Bharatiya dance is highly spiritual and often accompanies important religious rituals and holy days and festivals. Vedic dance goes back to prehistoric times. Bharata Muni wrote his Natya Shastra, science of drama and dance, over 2000 years ago. In it he explains that it was Lord Brahma, the secondary engineer of the universal creation, who brought dance (natya) and drama to the people of Earth millions of years ago, shortly after Earth was created.

4) Japa or chanting of Mantra. It’s an age old practice from the Vedic times and chanting of these mantras still gives a lot of peace and relaxation. The vibrations generated by chanting these mantras have scientifically proven to give good energy to people.

Excellent answer Avinash Verma. Your post does ask a lot of questions and have answers to a lot of those questions as well. Krishna also had a son called Pradyumna. When Pradyumna grew up, he battled the demon Sambara and killed him using the Vaishnavastra. Soon after Pradyumna became a constant companion of his father Krishna and was well liked by the people of Dvaraka. Pradyumna was a mighty Maharathi warrior. He possessed the extremely rare Vaishnavastra which is the most powerful weapon in the universe. Also he was one of the very few people to know the secret of the Chakra Vyuha. But Pradyumna did not participate in the Kurukshetra War as he went on a pilgrimage with his uncle Balarama and other yadavas.

Not only this, Krishna’s contribution to humanity and this world is unfathomable and concentrating the discussion only on Samba would be extremely shortsighted. I do agree as a parent its important to devote time to kids and ensure they are taught good values. A good respected family is always an achievement and is well respected in any society.
