Malevolence and depravity are smothering the world. There is an abundance of ways to damage moral values. With pragmatism, consumption is also growing rapidly. Under these conditions, Gyanshala has a compelling function.
Our brain has two components. The left hemisphere is responsible for the growth of common sense, knowledge and intelligence. The right hemisphere works for the development of spirituality.
Sadhus, Sadhvis, Samanis and other instructors have a special responsibility to see how to teach at the Gyanshala. A professor can teach college students but teaching five-year-old children is challenging.
A Gyanshala should:
- Be scientific and progressive
- Use a spiritual as well as a psychological approach
- Emphasise behavioural training along with conceptual training.
Gyanshala is not just a concept ‐ it is the science of living.
