             Every child is a soul in evolution. Integral education encourages the child to find its true self depending on its own nature through art, literature, sports, music, dance and other creativity principles. Early childhood is a critical stage in terms of a child's physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development. Mental and physical development progress at a rapid rate and most of learning takes place from birth to age of six years. Studies have shown that the human brain develops fastest within the first eight years and hence can be termed as formative years of learning. This period of childhood is also called, the Golden age. 
    
It is strongly believed that child’s moral concept and behavior also develop during this golden age. Therefore it is important to impart and identify with child's education from an early age, including values education. The objective of early childhood education is to establish a foundation for the development of a child’s character, behavior, knowledge, skills and creativity to spur further blossoming of child's personality.
        
         The need of the hour is an education that nourishes the total being that shapes our thoughts and emotions, our attitudes and values into universal human qualities like courage, accountability, sincerity, integrity, caring, cooperation and many other life values; an education that develops and inculcates in all students the basic powers of the mind-concentration, memory, observation, critical thinking and creativity; an education that seeks to train the body in agility, strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and poise; and above all, an education that helps the individual to delve deep through and harness the deeper meaning of life. 

See you again with a new insight !

Importance of Physical Education - Dr. Ajit Sabnis Hi.    We have discussed earlier four types of education- The physical, the vital, the mental and the spiritual. Let me touch upon Physical Education today. Physical Education relates to our physical body that is the basis for everything.      Of all the domains of human consciousness, the physical is the one, which is most completely governed by method, order, discipline and process. The lack of plasticity and receptivity in matter (our body) has to be replaced by a detailed organisation that is both precise and comprehensive. Physical education has three principal aspects: 1. Control and discipline of the functioning of the body, 2. An integral, methodical and harmonious development of all the parts and movements of the body 3. Correction of any defects and deformities. Physical Training Physical training for a child includes discipline, regularity, strength, endurance, plasticit

The Fern and the Bamboo One day I decided to quit. I wanted to quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. "God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?" His answer surprised me...."Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" "Yes", I replied. "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year, the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said. "In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bambo

LEARNING PROCESS by Dr. Ajit Sabnis             Human brain is the result of millions of years of evolution and at present man is a mental being. What does this mean? Without getting into the metaphysical aspects, let us say, as a species, his (He and She) inquisitiveness can be satiated by logic and reason. He is by no means the perfect being in the evolutionary process. Brain is a physical organ that is being used as an instrument for the learning process. What Then Is Learning?               The process of internalizing information so as to be able to apply to real-life problem-solving situations and come to more creative and fulfilling ways of living and responding to life-conditions and situations.                                             Learning is a Physical Experience! A dry and entirely academic learning experience never satisfies the child. For a child, learning is as much physical as it is emotional. In fact, a child is first and foremost
