Value-based education is the only solution : -

A value-based education system deeply rooted in the eternal rich Indian culture and civilization alone is  the only solution to the apparent problem of diminishing moral values among the new generation, opined Swami Swaroopananda, the Director of the prestigious Chinmaya International Residential School in Coimbatore, India who is also the Regional Head of Chinmaya Mission Australia, United Kingdom and the Far East.



A familiar visitor to Bahrain, he was in the Kingdom to deliver a series of talks titled  ‘Reshape Your Destiny’  from February 18 to 22 at Bahrain Society of Engineers Hall, Juffair. The event was organized by Chinmaya Society Bahrain as a part of the year-long celebrations during this 100th birth centenary of Swami Chinmayananda, spiritual leader and teacher who inspired the formation of Chinmaya Mission, a worldwide nonprofit organization, formed to spread the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta, the non-dual system of thought found in the Upanishads, which epitomize the philosophical teachings of the Vedas.

According to Swami  Swaroopananda, value-based education promotes effective learning and underpins the continuous improvement of personal, professional, social, national and spiritual well being of an individual.  Most of us think that education is only for employment, whereas we must understand that education is basically for empowerment and ultimately for enlightenment. It provides you with the basic strength and support to survive in the world, and teaches you to learn lessons so as to lead a life of success and satisfaction. If you are well educated, you become independent to  take up various tasks by yourself without depending on others.  It provides you basic confidence and you can survive in any part of the world.  Education serves as a launching pad for your career and life. A school should provide a safe, positive, intense learning environment that will empower students to become creative problem solvers, critical thinkers, and inspired learners for their future careers and life in the twenty- first century.



The purpose of education is to make students capable of living their lives fully at all levels of their personalities. They should be able to face the numerous challenges of life and carve out a purposeful future for themselves.

Chinmaya Residential schools groom students in noble cultural values and create a thirst for greater knowledge in them, so that they discover the mysteries of nature and the world around them, said Swami Swaroopananda.

The resounding success of the Chinmaya Education Movement, based on the much acclaimed Chinmaya Vision Program, has been primarily due to its unique vision of offering academic education complemented with spiritual knowledge, he added.



Note :-

1. Bharatham, her Ancient Upanishadic culture, Sanatana Dharmam are foundations of our Civilization

2. We didn't lost even after Mohammedans invasions and Christian rule;

3. Though world great civilizations lost from the lands, because of reasons of their own;

Opinion:-

1. The present people should take responsibilities sustain the culture;

2. Education has great role to play in this;

3. Our great institutions such as The Ramakrishna mission and Chinmaya missions are contributing values to great extent;

4.  Our values are suitable for all times and all over the country, irrespective  of religion, caste and creed;

5. Secularism, is intact within our Sanatana Dharmam and Values, as Secularism is existing in SANATANA DHARMAM ONLY AND NOT IN CHRISTIANITY OR ISLAM, BECAUSE THE WHOLE WORLD EXIST IN SANATANA DHARMAM.

The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty starts with the Mughal man named Ghiyasuddin Ghazi. He was the City Kotwal i.e. police officer of Delhi prior to the uprising of 1857, under the Mughal rule. After capturing Delhi in 1857, in the year of the mutiny, the British were slaughtering all Mughals everywhere. The British made a thorough search and killed every Mughal so that there were no future claimant to the throne of Delhi. The Hindus on the other hand were not targeted by the British unless isolated Hindus were found to be siding with the Mughals, due to past associations. Therefore, it became customary for many Mohammedans to adopt Hindu names. So, the man Ghiyasuddin Ghazi (the word means kafir-killer) adopted- a Hindu name Gangadhar Nehru and thus saved his life by the subterfuge. Ghiyasuddin Ghazi apparently used to reside on the bank of a canal (or Nehr) near the Red Fort. Thus, he adopted the name ‘Nehru’ as the family name. Through out the world, we do not find any descendant other than that of Gangadhar, having the surname Nehru. The 13th volume of the “Encyclopedia of Indian War of Independence” (ISBN:81-261-3745-9) by M.K. Singh states it elaborately. The Government of India have been hiding this fact.
