"TADA'TMA'NAM' SRJA'MYAHAM"

|

by Shrii Shrii Ananda Murtiji

How can human thinking be controlled? Occasionally some undesirable ideas arise in the mind that the mind wants to avoid. Even then they keep coming into the mind, despite the fact that the mind does not want them. Again, there are thoughts that the mind wants to have, but in fact they do not come. You must have noticed that some children sit down with their books and notebooks and try to study, but their minds are occupied with thoughts of the playground or the kitchen.

Making Another World Possible

PROUT Editor's note: The article below presents some truly unique and exciting topics that should be included in every child's educational curriculum. For example, young students should know how to produce newspaper articles and videos for purposes of media work. Attending conferences and workshops in other parts of the country should also be a part of children's education. The World Education Platform promotes "emancipatory" quality universal education, closely resembling the Neo-Humanist education of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, which emphasizes physical, intellectual and spiritual elevation and liberation and the attitude that no one should be left behind on this sublime journey. If a person stumbles and falls on this path, others must run back to pick him up and carry him forward. The World Education Platform further calls for a global fight for gender equality, a concept also supported by Sarkar in His call for the liberation of all women from the shackles of male abuse, oppression and chauvinism. Perhaps the most exciting concept is Professor Marcelo Rezende's demand that human rights and civil disobedience be taught in all schools. To introduce human rights and civil disobedience in all school curricula every year through the end of university studies would create a total revolution in the mindset of populations globally, and would propel people in the direction of implementation of the term 'Sadvipra,' which means fanatically ensconced in love for the Supreme Entity while simultaneously loving His manifestations to such an extent as to fight against all injustices and tortures done to those manifestations. This is a revolutionary concept that must be implemented in schools everywhere, as soon as possible.
