Nilmani Priyadarshi on Education. His dream is to start a vedic school based on the Gurukal system. "The pressures created by study should be taken off children and they should be taught how to relax. Children have very high intuition and a clean mental blackboard, and they pick up many things which are not academic. According to yogic principles, the real education of a child, the basic programming of life, happens from the time of his or her birth until the age of seven or eight. Academic education begins after that. Zero to eight years is the crucial period when you teach them unconsciously how to live, how to look at and respond to the world. Unfortunately that is the precise period in their lives which we have ignored completely. "Education is not only intellectual, not just going to school and studying. Academic education is job-oriented, providing the skills with which to compete in modern society. But personality is not only competition or intellect. Samskaras are the first part of the life education which children receive. Samskaras are received from the family, from society, from the culture, from the lifestyle which they lead, and that becomes their launching pad. If the foundation of their lives is weak, then, in the course of time, there will be a breakdown of values. Their positive qualities will deteriorate and they will be subject to frustrations, anxieties and stress which will further limit their natural expressions. For this reason the pressure has to be taken off their studies."
