Abstract: For thousands of years, Indian epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata have served as essential sources of ethical and spiritual wisdom. This essay examines the theoretical underpinnings of value education derived from these epics and emphasizes how useful they are in tackling contemporary life's moral, social, and emotional difficulties. These epics provide eternal principles like duty, honesty, compassion, justice, and persistence amid moral ambiguity, rapid technological advancement, and a loss of cultural grounding. This paper argues that incorporating epic-based acquiring into current education can greatly enhance holistic personality development, emotional intelligence, and a morally upright populace by analysing these stories through contemporary pedagogical lenses such as constructivism and value-based instruction.
