Bodhshala - Bringing Consciousness in Education

Responsibility for education does not rest with the state, its leaders, or private institutions alone, it is every person’s individual and collective responsibility to create a better & evolved version of the future.

Three facets of Bodhshala:

Integrating consciousness & dharma in the education curriculum.

Empowering the youth to become better individuals, professionals, society creators & nation builders.

Building a value-based ecosystem for the conscious connect & upliftment of the youth.

Objectives of Bodhshala

Channeling the Youth Energy in the right direction

India is one of the youngest nations in the world with almost one-third of youth in our population. It is a strong force but if we do not channel their energies in the right direction by establishing the layer of ‘right vision, right action & right management of themselves’ then the same youth power could work against our national interest and collective well-being.

The missing link

As per our ancient wisdom, human Life has 4 essential pursuits, we call them Purushartha – Dharma, Artha, Kama & Moksha. In current times, the whole world including our education system is largely focused on only two of these pursuits – Artha & Kama. The layer of Dharma is totally missing, and Moksha, we are not even aware of. Without Dharma as a base, our pursuits of wealth (Artha) and desire (Kama) become a source of suffering for ourselves and others.

Reinstating Dharma through the upgradation, transformation & introduction of new programs in the Education System

When we connected the dots, we realized that this issue can be solved by transforming the education ecosystem. And, the work with maximum impact can be done from the undergraduate and post-graduate level, when an individual (17- 18 years) has a level of maturity, understanding of life, a perspective, and is in a position to make transformative life decisions. This is a life stage when they are most vulnerable/impressionable but also most impactful.

Sri Anish’s Vision for Education

Real education must create a perfect synthesis between our civilizational values and the current needs of our society. It must help us expand our minds & purify our intention. It must provide us with the right understanding of who we are and our inherent relationship with every life form on the planet. It must provide us with the practical tools for self-evolution and nurture our capacity to contribute. And it must also create a strong foundation for lifelong learning. An education ecosystem that incorporates these values, will enable every learner to pursue Artha (material wealth) and Kama (fulfilment of desires) in the most sustainable, harmonious & aesthetic way. This is the education that our world needs right now, and India must lead this revolution in education.

About Bodhshala:

Bodhshala is Sri Anish’s vision and Saadho’s initiative of building an institution to work towards upgrading and transforming the education ecosystem through the integration of ‘consciousness and dharma’ in the existing curriculum and education eco-system.

These learnings are being derived from our age-old Indic wisdom, which is deeply relevant & needed in today’s era, and these will be presented in the most contemporary and application-oriented method.

Bodhshala is creating a value-based ecosystem of conscious curriculum creators, and facilitators along with a network of educational institutions. This collective ecosystem will bring these new thoughts into our existing education models & empower the nation’s youth to be better individuals, professionals, society creators & nation builders.
