Introduction

Most of us are aware that the impetus to human learning begins right in the womb and ends in the tomb. The current educational scenario is not the panacea of human existence and its life purpose, thereby leaving us incomplete. In nature, all life forms exist with the knowing that comes with birth itself. Therefore the same quality is inherent in human beings too. In order to facilitate the purpose of life, we endeavour to nurture and guide young children by way of “Reading Nature and referring books” and living value systems which will enable them to develop into responsible adults by harnessing their God given qualities thus inculcating “Knowledge to Knowing” as a tool of life. Towards this goal we have embarked on setting up a unique education system which will encourage our children to read from Nature as a primary source of knowing and also refer books for the confirmation of learning.

Nature being so vast it is a mockery to learn about it within the confines of four walls of a classroom. In ancient time great progress was made in the field of astronomy even without a telescope and similar progress was made in medicine even without equipment like stethoscope or x-ray machines or any such technical crutches. Very clearly the element of intuition and being connected with Nature which helped our sages and rishis is missing. The integration of knowing within the fold of spirituality will eventually help those in this method to develop intuition. While absorption directly happens from Nature, referring books helps fill in the gaps.
