Being the most fundamental guiding force behind molding a child\u2019s life as teachers or parents or responsible citizens, it is our moral responsibility to enlighten our children on the history and culture of the motherland they belong to. Just as we enlighten them on their lineage and the more worldly accomplishments that they must strive for; isn\u2019t it important to inculcate value based education and impress upon them a sense of appreciation for our rich Indian culture and diverse history? Value education, unfortunately in many schools is regarded as a rigid moral training module and has taken shape of a programmed set of rules that a child must follow. We bring to you the essence of education and facts culled from authentic source materials of our great spiritual and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Medium \u2013<\/strong> Marathi or Hindi. All lectures are with Power point presentations.<\/p>\n

Our glorious and relevant heritage will be conveyed and highlighted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why it is crucial for one to attend?<\/strong>
\nFor the rejuvenation of the nation and to reclaim that gloriousness of the past, we must embrace the thought processes, the literature and the knowledge that made India, the rich Bharat that it was, until not more than 400 years ago.<\/p>\n

The module is designed to impart deep insights into our great heritage, provide a comprehensive framework based on Sanskrit literature that embodies it, empower us intellectually, stimulate ourselves to learn about Vedas, Upanishads, Epics and Puranas etc., preserve and transmit to the future generations of India.
\nThis module will also help you to understand the unexplored truths and relevant thoughts, true spirit behind celebration of festivities and ceremonies so people celebrate them in their true spirit and not with total apathy by regarding them as just another celebration.<\/p>\n

Many harbor skepticism fearing that the teachings and learnings could provoke feelings of religious fanaticism. Such misgivings should be cleared – Religion is not karma kanda.<\/p>\n

Attending the course will only open your mind to new avenues outside of mere academics and instill a feeling of oneness with all people irrespective of their caste, creed or religion.<\/p>\n

Throughout the module reference of original texts is encouraged as there is the possibility that condensed versions and interpretations will cause confusion.<\/p>\n

These courses are run for the last ten years.<\/p>\n

Certificate<\/strong> of participation will be given.<\/p>\n

Generally when a group of 15 participants is formed, the new batch is started.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
