Taurian
World School (TWS), the best boarding school in Jharkhand* and among the India’s
top 30 boarding schools**, has become the first educational institution in the
State to induct a unique one-year Art of Living in Campus programme for its
senior students and staff. The year-long programme to ensure a stress-free
campus will aim at redefining the role of education but also addressing the new
demands made on modern day education system in a world of accelerating
economic, environmental and social changes.
Explaining
the objective behind the initiative to entice Art of Living programme, Taurian
World School’s Founder, Mr. Amith Bajla said, “We felt that education should
have a holistic approach and that learning should be joyful, stress-free and
experimental as well. We, at Taurian World School, are happy to use Art of
Living as one of the new ways to effectively implement our core Indian value
system and principles in education while helping students deal with life’s
problems, challenges and difficulties.”
Taurian
World School’s Principal Mr. Atul Bhatt added, “We are already noticing a
change in approach among the students, who have attended the Art of Living
session. They all feel more positive and can concentrate better. The 1-year
long Art of Living programme will foster loving, caring, sharing and respect
for all in Taurian World School students.”
The
students attending the Art of Living session are already ecstatic. They feel
that they are already empowered with an element of positivity and a change has
already ushered in their approach to life, studies and work. Talking about his
experience with Art of Living, Ankit Kishore, a Science student of Class XII of
the School, said, “I have already experienced a lot of change within myself. I
have developed a better understanding of what is right and what is wrong and
now I can also make my friends aware about it. The Art of Living has also
helped me in increasing my level of concentration and made me focus on our
Indian value system. I can feel the change in myself. We were taught about the
Sudarshan Kriya (breathing technique) and we can feel and realize how effective
it is.”
Echoing
Ankit’s views were his friends in the School, Vasudhara Poddar and Akshay
Munjal, both Commerce students of Class XII. As Vasudhara puts it: “The Art of
Living session was great! It made me feel confident and calm. I used to stand
aside in my dance classes earlier; but now I no longer care whether anyone is
laughing at my performance. I have also realized that one should never waste
food. There are millions of people around the world who go without food every
day. In having my meals now, I try to ensure that nothing goes waste. The Art
of Living has also taught us that we should always be respectful to our parents
and teachers as it is because of them that we are here. I would go out any
influence my friends on the principles of Art of Living. For me it is not
possible to change the world, but if I can change 2-3 people that itself will
be great.”
Like
Ankit and Vasudhara, Akshay too has started feeling the change within himself
after attending the Art of Living Session. Says Akshay: “It helps in
personality development and also builds up the level of confidence and
concentration. Now I feel on the top of the world”. Ankit, Vasudhara and Akshay
all agree that the Art of Living has taught them compassion towards the weak
and coy. As Akshay puts it: “The Art of Living has taught us how to bring in
harmony between the mind, body and emotions through Sudarshan Kriya! It has helped
us becoming more respectful towards our parents and teachers. After attending
the session we all met our teachers and touched their feet. It was not for the
first time that we did it. But this time it was with great reverence and
understanding.”
Explaining
the thoughts that went behind taking Art of Living to schools, the Foundation’s
instructor, Mr Rajinder Singh Gandhi, said “our objective is to insulate
students from stress through various breathing techniques. If one is in stress,
then one cannot be happy. We also want to nurture the latent values that
already exists in each and every human being. Besides, Art of Living techniques
also help in bridging the communication breaks between the students and
teachers”.
