Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 As you are aware we have been taking Hindu teachings to a vast number of English schools over the past many years. This year we are switching our emphasis. We are taking Hinduism (the comprehensive - dynamic brand ) to the Teacher Training Colleges round the country. We have already targeted about 60 such institutions and already (within a week) half a dozen of them have booked us for doing either a whole day or a half day seminar on Hinduism. Some of these colleges have over 100 Teachers being trained for religious education. If our calculations are right, in the next six months we will take Hinduism to a few thousand RE teachers in training. From our experience these young teachers are far more receptive to the more exciting aspects of Hinduism than stodgy old ones who teach Hinduism in schools at the moment. We will be taking Hinduism to main institutions like King's college (where they have been churning out extremely poor and damaging version of Hinduism). Of course, we too will continue to take Hinduism into mainstream schools but if we are able to get a thousand mainstream RE teachers going into schools with this correct version of Hinduism, our work will be greatly enhanced. These teachers over the next few years will teach this correct version of Hinduism to thousands of English youngsters. We have said in the past that in the next five years Hinduism will become the most popular religion being studied and taught in this country. As we continue to make progress in this field, we feel more and more convinced that this is about to happen earlier rather than later. It is the mainstream RE teachers in the UK who are going to be the best promoters of Hinduism to the mainstream population. By the grace of our mentors the next most glorious chapter of Hinduism is going to be written in this country. dilip (jay) lakhani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 The spreading of the true universal Hindu values is very crucial for humanity. This opportunity to teach dynamic and contemporary aspects of Hindusim to the training colleges brings great hope. I dream of the day when the dedication, hopes and the hard work of our mentors is fully established in this world. Vijay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
