2.Vedic Education
Just as we need to change the atmosphere or environment in which we live in, in the same way we need the current and future generations to follow our ancient Vedic education system. This will teach them morality, ethics, core values of humanity and at the same time help form a bond with our creator God and Mother Nature.
The above is an example of the ancient Gurukula education system where the guru is teaching his students sacred knowledge from the Holy Scriptures in a nature friendly environment.
Since many children in the modern times are displaying bad behavior and even taking wrong paths in life, it becomes that much more crucial to give them proper training and guidance right from their birth itself.
As a parent one may worry about their child’s future after Gurukula education, but we need to understand that Vedic knowledge is so vast that a good grasp of it can not only ensure the child’s financial future, but also create a human society of first class human beings who can make planet earth like paradise.
