SATKĀMA
SCHOOL FOR INTEGRATIVE DEVELOPMENT
EDUCATION FOR A NEW SPIRITUAL ERA
Dedicated to Divine Resource Development
About SATKĀMA SCHOOL
SATKĀMA means “Be
Truthful”. We have to be truthful to our true nature which is essentially
rooted in Divinity. SATKAMA is a school for integrative development. Every
individual integrates with his surroundings or society based on values he has
learnt over a period of life. If the values inculcated are universal in nature,
the individual will live in his surroundings with a feeling of integration and
mutual dependence rather than separation and independence. We are individuals,
yet we are one with the many and not one amongst the many. The universal values
of cooperation, sharing, service, sacrifice, fraternity, love, compassion etc,
essentially have to be imbibed to live in harmony and peace with a feeling of
integration that encompasses the well being of all of humanity. SATKAMA is a
normal academic school with a difference. SATKAMA seeks to provide such an
atmosphere where it will be natural for the children to learn and grow being
truthful to their true nature which is Divine even as it provides excellent
academic education. SATKAMA is committed to such Divine Resource
Development.
The
school was started in 2005 and has completed one academic year.
EDUCATION
FOR A NEW SPIRITUAL ERA
The world is
confronted with so much conflict and violence that universal peace may sound
like an oxymoron. Yet peace is one thing that mankind continuously strives,
however elusive it may appear to be.
The Great Master Mahatma
Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj states
“As a matter of fact
world peace can never be possible unless we take into account the inner state
of the individual mind. World peace is directly related with individual peace,
for which the individual mind is to be brought up to the required level. If the
individual mind is brought to a state of rest and peace, everything in the
world will then appear to him in the same colour. It
is, therefore, essential to find out means for developing within every
individual a state of peace and contentment. Thus, all that we have to do for
the attainment of world peace is to mould the mental tendencies of the people
individually. That means the proper regulation of mind so as to introduce into
it a state of moderation. That is the only way for bringing peace into the
world. It is, therefore, essential for all of us to develop peace of
mind within our individual self. But that being exclusively the scope of
spirituality, one must necessarily resort to spiritual means for the purpose.
“
Thus the coming era without any
option, has to be a spiritual era where enduring world peace would be realized.
The school education then should focus on such positive values of life
that individual children are prepared for this new spiritual era.
Human perfection
lies in ‘man’ becoming ‘real man’ according to the Great Master of the day – Pujya Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, U.P.
India.
The word education is derived from
the root ‘educe’ meaning ‘extract from’, ‘draw out’. It implies that there is
something in the individual that can be drawn out and exhibited in its
perfection that the individual possibilities permit. ‘Education’ is
multidimensional in nature. Not only the intellectual aspect of development,
social and emotional adjustment is the task of education but more than all this
essentially making a person ‘human’ is the real task of education. Children are
to be viewed as embodiments of love and affection. The educators’ job is to
develop their inner resources so as to become tomorrows’ peace makers.
