Children develop or grow?
Can we develop children?
No, we can't . We can help them to grow. The word 'child development' must be replaced by child prosperity or growth.
The child grows, the child does not develop. The child is a natural being, the way nature evolves, the nature grows so does the child.
Think of the seeds of the plants we sow, do we develop them or they grow on their own. We just provide an enriching environment to allow the seed grow into a sapling , plant, tree. The seed grows into a tree on its own. Be the sun, water, air and the soil (he/she gets soil in the form of parents or family)to help the child to open his/ her uniqueness and blossom in the world.
The first three limbs of Ashtang Philosophy are enough to follow in the Foundational years ie
1.Yam (Moral codes)
2.Niyam (discipline)
3.Asan (Posture)
Fourth, fifth and sixth limbs of Ashtang Philosophy can be followed in middle classes
4.Pranayam (breathe control)
5.Pratyahara (Sense of withdrawal)
6.Dharana (Concentration) can be followed in the middle classes.
Seventh 7. Dhyan (meditation, dhyan is not exactly mediation. The meaning of dhyan is dhi budhi and Yan vehicle.)
and eighth 8th limb of Ashtang Philosophy Samadhi (Oneness with the self) will grow by themselves in the senior classes if first six limbs are taken care well.
The first limb of Ashtang Philosophy the Yam( moral codes) lie in the Truth that can be decodeded well by PRASANG the Newage Concept to be Joyous. PRASANG the seven rays of the Truth. Parents and teachers need to play the role of an Awakener to help children grow, let the seven rays of truth PRASANG shine through you to allow the children to grow, evolve and shine in their own light.
Stay Positive Responsible Ambitious Supportive Abreast Noble Generous
Look beyond imperfections
Be 'PRASANG' Be Joyous
Celebrate children's day with ancient Indian Wisdom
सत्य से प्रेम, प्रेम से कर्म करें।
प्रसंग प्रणाम से प्रणव तक सत्य की विजय यात्रा में भाग लें
Renu Vashistha
Meri Kaya meri Vedhshala se.
