EDUCATION
THE AIMS OF SPIRITUAL EDUCATION
1.
To place a student on the path of self-confidence, self-
satisfaction,
self-sacrifice and self-realisation.
2.
To promote the spirit of dedication in all we do through
earnestness, sincerity, humility and reverence.
3.
To remove the illusion that happiness consists in accumulating
money, knowledge, comforts or reputation, whereas happiness
is a state of mind which can be cultivated and which is unaffected
by fortune, good or bad.
4.
To enable students to bring the best in them and place it at the
service of the community.
5.
To introduce the pupil to the sweet experiences of meditation
and yoga or of the joy of inquiry into one's own reality.
WAYS AND MEANS FOR ACHIEVING

The teachers themselves should be disinterested seekers of
truth, on their Way to realising these aims.

spiritual heroes and heroines of the land through discourses or
your study where a personal contact is not possible.

of Indian culture.
