Gyaan is a Hindi word meaning knowledge. Knowledge can be of many kind – technical knowledge, operative knowledge, domain knowledge etc.

Experience increases practice knowledge. 

Convention is a storehouse of accumulated knowledge from ancient times which assists in safe and reliable decision making.

Wisdom is born out of theoretical knowledge conjugated with experiences and conventions.

Experience + Convention + Wisdom = Pragnya – a deeper and  superior knowledge which enables you to position your thoughts viz – a –  viz reality in a better and more intelligent way.

Prangya is a stepping stone to Supreme Knowledge – the realisation of the Absolute Truth!!

Colloquially, gyaan can also have a derisive connotation indicating uncalled for advice!!!

However, I , with my limited cerebral scope,  have a single and simple suggestion not gyaan to impart.

  3. Well, in that case, here’s my non-gyaan suggestion: If life gives you lemons, make lemonade… and then find someone whose life gave them vodka and have a party!
    I learned both gyaan and non gyaan today😄
    Thank you.
