VALUE BASED SPIRITUAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM
FOR CLASSES VI to X

A TEACHERS' MANUAL

What is this Manual for?

This book - The Teachers' Manual - extends a helping hand to teachers at all levels to call out and inculcate values for life in students. It is to be taught as an independent subject by alloting slots in the school timetable. It is our hope that the values identified in this book can as well be incorporated in all the subjects.
This manual is a ideal comprehensive study material to give first hand information to the teachers about - "What to teach?, How to teach?, When to teach? And how long to teach?

What does this Manual contain?

It is to be borne in our mind that "Education is for Life and Life is for Evolution." In fact having taken this as the base this book has been designed.

Life is nothing but a series of experiences between a subject and an object. Naturally the subject indicates "you" and the objects are identified as the world around you.

Each of the classes contain ten chapters and they are as follows:

1. Nature - The first chapter is nature, with its splendour and wonder. We feel the nature balancing through the contribution of life force, stressing life of life.
2. Who am I - This topic highlights the individual - "To be what he should be", breaking the barriers to his power packed personality.
3. After the question "Who am I?" We have to focus our thought on our Body, Keep fit your body with highlighted perceptions and actions, leading to perfect action and energy conservation, desisting from depletion.
4 & 5 Mind is the connecting link between the spirit within and the world outside. Our Mind, full of thoughts and impression, longs for cleaning process or else you cannot mind your emotions and feelings. When you regulate your mind, you achieve the power of positive thinking and your reactions and responses are balanced. Two chapters have been allotted for this most important topic.
6. Intellect - With your intellect and intuition you are always disciplined and obedient. Because of this goal-oriented nature, you evolve solutions for your problems, which results in success shattering your failures.
7. Life is the next chapter. Your question "What is Life?" is answered here. In this journey of our life we have to realise our creator and His creation and also know the way to lead a perfect Life.
8. Prayer creates a link between God our Creator and ourselves. We appeal to God Himself and our Prayer for Universal Brotherhood leads us towards Self realisation.
9. Guru is our guide and we enjoy the electrifying experience in Guru, because, He is the God manifestation in the form of friend and philosopher.
10. In the last chapter we are approaching the Powerless power, the Highlest Self, the Creator of creation and one who is beyond Religion and Spirituality. "God is Love and Love is God".

The topics have been graded from Class 6 to Class 10. A minimum of 20 periods in a year must be alloted in each class to complete the syllabus effectively. The key points have been given with brief explanations, giving a lot of scope to the teachers to elaborate it, depending on the nature of students, their intelligence, their family background, environment, interest etc. Activities, stories and experiments have been included to make the topics interesting and simple.

Teachers must realize that in each and every topic the spiritual aspect is most important and emphasis to be laid on it. The aim of this curriculum and syllabus is to ensure that by the time a student completes Class 10, he/she must understand the purpose and higher goal of life and be prepared to take up Meditation which is the only panacea for all evils.

Let us all remember that Spirituality is the basis of existence and that -

"We are not Human Beings having a Divine Experience,
But Divine Beings having a Human experience."

May Master's will prevail and help us to start this endeavour with Love and Devotion.
