Hello all,
How often
have we all felt .... If we
could live in peace and harmony.... If
it was a trouble free world...
Commonsense
would tell us, that such things should
begin with the individual who
is the unit of family, the
family which is the unit of
community and the community which is
unit of a nation...
Recently I came across a write up entitled
10 simple ways in which we can make a difference
to the universe
1.Spend 10 minutes every day sitting in silence,
sending out love and positive energy to
the universe. Think of the 6 billion people, the millions of animal species,
plant life, as well as this planet that has sustained you your whole life; send your love to all of
them.
2.Pray for people who are going through difficult times.
3.Donate stationary/books
or other knowledge resources to
underprivileged children or an orphanage, regularly.
4.The next time you go
shopping, be mindful to buy only what
you need.
5.In every sphere of life,
practice giving more than what you take, and producing more than what you consume. If you receive love
from 10 people, give love to at least 11 people.
6.Before making any decision, think seriously about how it
will affect others around you.
7.Spread positivity-smile often, compliment freely,
give someone a pat on the back.
8.Use cruelty-free
products, ie; products that are not tested on animals, fair-trade products,
etc. Check if the brands you buy uphold ethical practices.
9.Travel to understand and
appreciate the different cultures in
your country, and in the world. (if
travel is not possible, read about different cultures around the
10.In your own family/
workplace/neighbourhood, work towards a win-win situation for everyone, with a
vision of totality rather than of self importance.

Imagine our
students performing one act every month that leads to a transformation...
Imagine school classrooms where teachers
teach Life Skills and Soft Skills which
would hopefully make pupils realize the essence of the
highest ideals of the human race-
Satyam (the truth), Shivam (God) and Sundaram (the beautiful).
