Directions to Teachers (Class I – IV)

Some practical hints that result form the application of methods of psychological and value-oriented development are suggested here:

1. It may first be noted that a good many children are under the influence of the inner psychic presence which shows itself very distinctly at times in their spontaneous reactions and even in their words. All spontaneous turning to love, truth, beauty, knowledge, nobility, heroism is a sure sign of the psychic influence.
2. To recognise these reactions and to encourage them wisely and with a psychic feeling would be the first indispensable step.
3. The best qualities to develop in children are:

               sincerity                                          perseverance

honesty                                     peace
straightforwardness                    calm
cheerfulness                              self-control
courage                                     self-mastery
disinterestedness                       truth
patience                                    harmony
endurance                                 liberty

4. These qualities are taught infinitely better by examples than by beautiful speeches.

5. The undesirable impulses and habits should not be treated harshly. The child should not be scolded. Particularly, care should be taken not to rebuke a child for a fault which one commits oneself. Children are very keen and clear-sighted observers; they soon find out the educator’s weaknesses and note them without pity.

6. When a child makes a mistake, one must see that he confesses it to the teacher or the guardian spontaneously and frankly; and when he has confessed it he should be made to understand with kindness and affection what was wrong in the movement and that he should not repeat it. A fault confessed must be forgiven.

7. The child should be encouraged to think of wrong impulses not as sins or offences but as symptoms of a curable disease alterable by a steady and a sustained effort of the will – falsehood being rejected and replaced by truth, fear by courage, selfishness by sacrifice, malice by love.

8. Great care should be taken to see that unformed virtues are not rejected as faults. The wildness and recklessness of many young natures are only the overflowing of an excessive strength, greatness and nobility.

9. An affection that is firm yet gentle, sees clearly, and a sufficiently practical knowledge will create bonds of trust that are indispensable for the educator to make the education of a child effective.
10. When a child asks a question, he should not be answered by saying that it is stupid or foolish, or that the answer will not be understood by him. Curiosity cannot be postponed, and an effort must be made to answer questions truthfully and in such a way as to make the answer comprehensible to his mental capacity.
11. The teacher should ensure that the child gradually begins to be aware of the psychological centre of his being, the psychic being, the inner seat of the highest truth of our existence.
12. With that growing awareness, the child should be taught to concentrate on his presence and make it more and more a living fact.
13. The child should be taught that whenever there is an inner uneasiness, he should not pass it off and try to forget it, but should attend to it, and try to find out by an inner observation the cause of the uneasiness, so that it can be removed by inner or other methods.
14. It should be emphasised that if one has a sincere and steady aspiration, a persistent and dynamic will, one is sure to meet in one way or another, externally by study and instruction, internally by concentration, revelation or experience, the

help one needs to reach the goal. Only one thing is absolutely indispensable, the will to discover and realise. This discovery and this realisation should be the primary occupation of the being, the pearl of great price which one should acquire at any cost. Whatever one does, whatever one’s occupation and activity, the will to find the truth of one’s being and to untie with it must always be living, always present behind all one does, all that one thinks, all that one experiences.

All the above suggestions are to be implemented from day to day under various circumstances and in the context of living problems of the growth of children.

The role of the teacher is to put the child upon the right road to its own perfection and encourage it to follow it, watching, suggesting, helping, but not imposing or interfering. The best method of suggestion is by personal example, daily conversation and books read from day to day.

ANNEXURE-X

Education through Indian Culture to Children of India

Class I to IV

The first lesson may underline the concept of reverence to the highest, which is common in all parts of India, and which transcends barriers of religions and beliefs. The most important phrase is: namaao nama:— namo namah: — salutation, and salutation again. The message of this phrase has become embedded in the entire style of life in India and even in greetings to each other Indians make various gestures of salutations.

Truth is another word that has to be underlined. The search for the Truth supersedes every other search in Indian culture.

The story of the Buddha to be told to the children in detail – his search for the truth was so intense that he renounced all else, -- his kingdom, his wife, his child, -- everything that was dear and near, everything that was pleasant.

Renunciation (त्याग) is another important common element in Indian culture. India celebrates renunciation and values it most.

The story of the search for the Truth and renunciation is further illustrated by the story of Nachiketas.

The story of Nachiketas can be recounted as given in the Kathopanishad. The story of renunciation is also

illustrated through the story of Sri Rama, which can be told to underline Sri Rama’s renunciation and his emphasis on action to uphold the truth.

The story of Harischandra can also be told – it illustrates both Truth and renunciation.

The story of Shivi can also be told in the same connenction.

The ideal of Truth is so much emphasized that India when it became free adopted the following as its official motto: सत्यमेव जयते – satyam eva jayate.

From where is this motto derived, let us make a search.

It would be found in Mandukya Upanishad. What are Upanishads? They are the highest literature of India. It is in the Upanishads that we find the description of ancient India. Kings and princes and ordinary children are found here in search of Truth and they knock on the doors of the huts of the Rishis in the forest.

The seekers of knowledge in search of teachers have since that time remained an ideal feature of Indian culture.

While telling this, the following statements may be emphasized: Our culture is the culture of tyāga.

Even kings used to abdicate their kingdoms in order to seek the highest knowledge and Truth towards the end of their life. The story of Kunti, Gandhadri and Dhritrashtra can be told in this context.

Ten taktyena bhunjita is another concept that can be introduced from the Ishopanishad.

Abdication of desires is the one message in all

religions which are prevalent in India. During the freedom struggle, the idea of abdication was most important. The story of freedom struggle to be told in this connection.

Reference may also to be made o light and sound show of Andaman Nicobar. The story of Bal Gangadhar Tilak, story of Sri Aurobindo, the story of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Khudiram Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, etc. This is the India that should be loved and cherished.

Another aspect of Indian culture is "sarva hitaya" work for the benefit of all. Reference from Bhagavadgita, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam, etc., can be told. In this connection, we can tell the story of Sri Rama; for public welfare he sacrificed his personal life; story of Sri Krishna and Arjuna; *** solidarity of people was the ideal given by Sri Krishna to Arjuna; story of goodwill; the story of Christ; Buddha's story of compassion and the idea of sarvodaya, can be emphasised here.

Search for good, love, and joy (ananda). Indian culture is mil of festivals of joy, kavya, sangita, stories of Sri Krishna, Shiva, and Mahalaksmi.
