Girish Jha, Chief Mentor, PIYAS

Prajna Institute of Yoga and Allied Sciences, New Delhi, India

The author is researcher, Yoga Scientist who served in

premier institute

of Yoga for more than

25 years before resigning in 2006 to join PIYAS. He is known as meditation

expert, specialized in stress management and has taught, conducted programs

for Ambassadors, Bureaucrats, Senior IAS officers, engineers, diplomats,

academicians and teachers during the last 23 years. He has delivered

lectures, practical programs on Yoga to more than 50 schools in Delhi and abroad. He

has developed special programs for school children known as UTSAV-S which

consists of lectures, practical tips and practices in his four tier approach

i.e. The Art of Self Evolving ( for kids), The Art of Learning, The Art of

Parenting and Manage three great institutions of modern man namely The Home,

The Educational institutions and The Society for kids.

O Modern man, do you have time to think of child

The

young, innocent, smiling and father of man may be smiling once again even if

they may not be aware of what Indian Justice System has done for them by

passing strict regulation for admission in convent schools all over Delhi. The toddlers will

be amazed at the sudden change of behavior of parents at home and educators,

teachers at school while innocent ones

will be able to manifest their spontaneity, energy, smile, and most important of all divinity in their

actions if order of court is fully

implemented.

The

older whether teachers and parents who after living more than 25 years of their

lives, know very well that they have been heavily conditioned by their parents,

society and schools in yester years but no one barring few have the courage to

fight not in order to restore the natural flowering of their kids but in order

curtail the ever increasing menace of burdening the child with mechanical and

habitual lessons by killing their eternal, natural and divine attributes.

Modern man, in reality, has reversed the dictum," The Child is father of

man." to "Modern man at home and school

are the real fathers of innocent child."

It is more than apathy, cruelty, violence against own kids while forcing

them to learn what they do not; suppress their natural abilities which could

make them masters of destiny.

The

ancient wisdom says that yoga practice makes a man child again. Many Yoga

scriptures declare that the highest practice of Yoga i.e. deepest meditation or

Samadhi transforms the Sadhaka or the practitioner again into child, meaning

spontaneity, humility, simplicity, energy, natural qualities etc are regained.

Instead of becoming aware of that spark of divine which manifests through

virgin mind of innocent kids, they are virtually killed by forced learning,

conditioned by modern rhymes and etiquettes, and suppressed by mechanical

cramming of words, sentences which is known as general knowledge. No doubt,

modern education system when introduced since toddlers are 2 years old, they

have every chance of becoming top class engineers, doctors, bureaucrats,

programmers but they take away every chance of evolving them into a better

person, better citizen and better human being in the years to come.

Real Education: The integral education of Yoga

and Modern Education

Education

is search of knowledge for perfection. Learning begins the moment one comes out

of the womb of mother and continues till death. There are many references in

ancient texts that learning even begins in the womb of mother after three

months of pregnancy. There are many examples of historical person sin India

who learnt and received knowledge in the womb of mother and used the same when

they became mature.

Learning is inherent ability of human race

that moulds his behavior, awakens ones potentials, perfect his attitudes and

perception, sets standards of social, emotional, mental and intellectual life,

brings changes in the outer and internal world.

Education

means using instrument of human frame for reaching harmony, perfection,

integration, and better and better response to the challenges in the world.

What

is Yoga as education?

"Yoga

is self conscious finding," says one of the greatest yoga masters who

revolutionized by integrating the modern psychology with ancient knowledge of

yoga. Sri Aurobindo further says." By Yoga, we mean ……… a methodized effort towards self

perfection by the expression of potentialities latent in the being and a union of

human individual with universal and transcendent existence we see partially

expressed in man and in cosmos."

Yoga

is discovery of self-consciously. Any discovery leads to knowledge and yoga

leads to knowledge of self. It means, yoga brings the knowledge of all layers

of human frame and existence so that they can be harmonized, integrated for

happy, healthy, creative life. Yoga further brings on surface consciously the

true being that responds integrally to the outer challenges of life with

reference to truth and only truth of the being.

Yoga

is infact education of the self and modern education is the education of

external world. Yoga is education of self in relation to outer world and modern

education is the education of the external world in relation to self.

Modern education and yoga both are search for

knowledge aspiring for perfection. One demands perfection in the outer world

and the other in the external world. Both external and internal worlds of human

being are important as they both together can bring true happiness, integration

and prosperity.

It is essential for the modern man to grow

externally as well as internally so that there is total or holistic growth of

human being in all directions. The person must also grow with knowledge grows

in the mind will be the right education in the present world. It is further

important to give due importance to the growth of subjective faculties with

outer growth of information in the mind to bring about harmony in the external

and internal world.

There had been lopsided development during the

last 200 hundreds years of the brain. The left side of the brain has been

developed at the cost of right resulting into loss of natural qualities of

human beings that are essential to holistic development. Modern education is

objective oriented and directed towards acquiring information in a particular

area which meets the demands of ones motive to lead a successful material life.

Here, the subjective part of personality is totally neglected which create a

gap. Integral education means a search of knowledge aimed at perfection within

and in the external world, harmonious relationship with ones body, mind,

energy, emotions, intellect and ego on one side and ones relationship with

society, family, nation, profession, people on other side. It is most important

for human being to realize one place in the world set forth by the nature and

ones place set forth by the conscious mind in the world. The aim set by ego can

be met successfully in the world but aim set by nature for human race is

constant evolution can be met by yoga. This aims at conscious evolution of

mind, emotion, body, intellect and also ego to some higher principle.

Let there be perfection at physical,

emotional, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels side by side with

perfection in profession, relations, people and day-to-day actions in the

world. Yoga and modern education must meet together to bring about a total

transformation. To accelerate the process of evolution, to help in realizing

self esteem, self-discipline, self-evolution and self-identity.

The

New Paradigm of education

A

New Paradigm of Education (NPE) is very much required in the educational

institutions all around the world, specially in India, where ancient masters

had experimented with Guru Kula (Master -disciple living together for integral

education and holistic development

leading to personal, professional, social and spiritual excellence) with great

success. Now when Yoga has attracted global attention. People from all walks of

life , more than a billion people in the world practice yoga every day in the

world today. This is the right time, when people should be made aware of

psychological, spiritual , social and philosophical aspects of yoga in which

secret of Integral education lies hidden. The science and art of living is more

important for a child to make him a

better citizen, better professionals, and better human being than formal

education where information gathering system of human brain is strengthened by

modern aids of education. Integral

education will help awaken the right as well left brain, pave the way to

harmonious development of inner and outer space. This will nurture every child

with qualities and attributes essential to human being while empowering with

modern technology and tools for using them towards a better world order.

Let

every child smile now

Let

every child in our homes and schools be allowed to smile and we all must take

active part in their natural growth and evolution not only for their better

future but also for better future of our great nation. Let every child be given

ample space for natural learning in order to enhance their abilities of

observation, choice and control so that they will evolve into good, humble,

creative, intuitive and intellectual human race. Let every child be saved following

the directions of hounorable court so that when they become young, they will

not only respect the law but will inspire others to abide by law of land.
