Seers, Mystics and Teachers say the world is at the cusp of an important shift in consciousness. It is important that we raise conscious children who become partners, agents of change and winners in this new world.

Starting Young

There are organisations across the world like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living, Chinmaya Mission Bal Vihar (5-12 years) and Chinmaya Yuva Kendras (14-28 years), and Sadhu Vaswani Mission that offer spiritual training through field trips, social service projects, games, story-telling and music for free or at nominal charges. Some organisations also bring out magazines for children like Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas magazine, Sadhu Vaswani Mission’s Mira, Chinmaya Udghosh and Akram Express by the Dada Bhagwan organisation. “As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives,” said Henry David Thoreau, the sage of Boston on the nature of samskaras.
