Summary
Hindu sangat berperan bagi umat manusia, seperti cerita – cerita yang terkandung dalam Ramayana dan Mahabharata yang sudah banyak diketahui masyarakat. Penanaman pendidikan karakter pada anak di mulai dari sejak dini, yakni melalui cerita – cerita atau kisah – kisah dalam Puraana yang dapat digunakan sebagai media penanaman pendidikan karakter pada anak. Tulisan dalam jurnal ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dengan sumber data sekunder yakni data yang diperoleh melalui data – data yang sudah ada atau tidak langsung diperoleh dari subyek penelitian. Ada berbagai upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk membangun generasi yang berkarakter, salah satu cara adalah melalui penanaman pendidikan karakter yang terkandung dalam kesusastraan hindu pada anak. Menurut Kertajaya (dalam http://belajarpsikologi.com/pengertia n-pendidikan-karakter/) Karakter merupakan suatu ciri yang dimiliki oleh suatu benda atau individu yang dimiliki sejak mereka diciptakan serta telah mengakar pada kepribadian benda atau individu tersebut seperti “mesin” yang mendorong bagaimana seorang bersikap, berucap, dan bertindak melakukan sesuatu.
