Youth Education
Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya (Divine Culture University) – A University for the Cultural Renaissance of the World
The progress of any nation is dependent on the fully developed personality of its citizens, of which youth comprise a significant proportion. The personality of youth is highly influenced by education. However, worldwide, the current education system is not structured to develop the personality of students, and does not guide them towards a purposeful path of life, through which they can live happily and peacefully, as well as be competent enough to fight difficulties. In the olden times, Indian universities such as Nalanda and Takshashila accomplished the task of guiding students in the right direction, by imparting spiritual knowledge on a practical basis, i.e. how ideals can be incorporated in personality considering the prevalent trends in the society. In the 21st century, All World Gayatri Pariwar has taken up this challenging task by establishing the Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya.
Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya has been established to meet the pressing need to impart global education on scientific spirituality and life style, with new thought of ethical, moral and spiritual transformation of youths, and production of specialists, and devoted nationalists. Excellent character, indomitable courage, firm determination, and intense love for labor, must be their trait, so that they may carve their own destiny. They must have respect for elders, love for youngers and compassion for all. Robust faith in own duty rather than right must form the bedrock for their life phenomena.
Shikshaa and Vidyaa – Ideal blending of moral refinement and intellectual development with school education
Gurudev, Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya designed a new school-education syllabus, emphasizing the need of revising the existing system, to make it more rational, dynamic, relevant and useful in assuring a happy and bright future to the world. He also justified the importance of incorporating vidyaa (righteous intellect and moral refinement) in the updated system of shikshaa (information based education), and given practical guidance for doing so at the primary, secondary and higher levels of education. He devised specialized value-based syllabus for this purpose, to suit the gamut of students having different backgrounds and mental and intellectual levels. The primary and pre-secondary education offered in the school of All World Gayatri Pariwar at Shantikunj, Haridwar, sets a living example of how this syllabus can be successfully implemented with the innovative methods of teaching suggested by him.
The special syllabus and mode of examination of Bhaartiya Sanskriti Gyaan Pareekshaa (An examination testing the knowledge of Indian Culture), organized by All World Gayatri Pariwar in thousands of schools in India every year, has been very successful in creating cultural awareness, and clarifying the concept of vidyaa among children.
