People have long known the means of self-knowledge and methods of personality change, the use of which makes it possible to direct the stormy flow of life in the right direction. From time immemorial, having tried out the methods of achieving success, people shared them with each other, creating entire systems that make it possible to turn almost any, even the most “neglected” life, into a masterpiece of the abundance of all benefits and harmony between them. Such collections of “works of one’s own destiny” include the ancient Indian Pentateuch, which in Sanskrit is called “Panchatantra”. In Indian culture, it belongs to the field of niti-shastra - “the science of correct behavior”, which was taught to sons in noble families. However, the problems raised in the Panchatantra are inherent in any society at any time: finding a job, increasing wealth, making friends, getting married. The instructions of the Panchatantra are given in a metaphorical form - in the form of edifying stories. Education is the main goal of the Panchatantra: it has a special meaning and is carried out in a special way.
