Science of Living (Jeevan Vigyan) - Introduction
THE NATURE AND
SCOPE OF VALUE-ORIENTED EDUCATION
The sages have preached about Science of Living
from time to time as under:
"Science of Living is a process of bringing about
changes in the nature and habits of human beings. It can pave the way for
building a healthy society through positive feelings."
"Science of Living is a system of yogic exercises,
yogic Asanas, Pranayam, Preksha Dhyan, Kayotsarg and contemplations
"Science of Living makes us aware of the conditions
of morality, dignity of labour and our responsibilities."
"Science of Living is a unique combination of discretion and
emotions."
Education provides the foundation for all-round development of a human
being. It shapes the personality of an individual. Of all the experiments
which have so far been conducted in the field of education, Science of
Living has come to be reckoned as an original experiment. In this system a
student is made to study less and more time and energy is devoted to
practice and experimentation on the self. For the revival of values and
fuller development of the human personality, the subject of Science of
Living has been conceived and developed, its source of inspiration is
Anuvrat Disciplinarian Shri Tulsi. His thoughts have been further
developed and expanded by Acharya Shri Mahapragya.
The syllabus of Jeevan
Vigyan has been formulated for all levels of students beginning from
class-1 up to graduation standard. Keeping in view the needs and the pace
of learning of the students, the syllabus has been divided into twelve
units as under:
|
Sound |
Resoluteness |
Right Exercise |
|
Right breathing
|
Kayotsarg |
Preksha Dhyan |
|
Anatomy |
Health science |
Mental health |
|
Emotional health |
Awareness of values |
Non-violence |
Beginning with the use and
development of sound, these units graduate into generation of awareness of
values and promotion of non-violence. The sound has utmost impact on the
way we live and conduct ourselves. We receive and communicate knowledge
and scientific attitude through sound. The balanced development of sound
is the basis of peaceful coexistence. No human being can succeed in life
without the development of resolute will-power. Strong will-power
liberates us from undesirable conduct and guides us towards right conduct.
The experiments in the
field of education have convincingly proved that Science of Living is
fully capable of bringing about desirable transformation in the
personality of children.
The usefulness of Science
of Living is not restricted to students alone. Its usefulness has been
established beyond doubt in every walk of life. It is applicable to
teachers or guardians alike. Teachers need to be trained first in this
technique of Science of Living.
The nature of human being
can undoubtedly be changed. The experiments in the field of Science of
Living have proved to be blessings for the individual. These experiments
have succeeded in bringing about all-round development of body, mind,
intellect and emotions. In statistical terms, lakhs of students, thousands
of teachers and hundreds of intellectuals have witnessed the sprouting of
the seeds of change in their nature, behaviour and conduct during the last
10 years.
