1. SAKTHI FOUNDATION - Uni5 EDUCATION SYSTEM
Uni5 PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN
''The objective of the education is to make the man to become aware about him and this universal pattern. This makes him to interconnect his ''self'' - the truth with the cosmic pattern. By this he will start serving the society which brings him the eternal bliss of life''
__Saint Kabilacharya
The objective of the Uni5 pattern of education is to make the child to become aware the five levels of human nature. The 5 levels are known as BMIAC - Body-Mind-Intellect-Awareness and Consciousness.
Man lives in this all 5 states. When man is aware about all his 5 states he is directed towards happiness through his actions.
The Uni5 pattern is being implemented to develop the personal care and human attitude of students.
By this children have made a calm and peaceful natural way of moral and intellect development in their living and learning environment.
Age group: Children from 2.5 years - no age limit [we have implemented this system in our Montessori child care centers, schools for middle and elementary levels, young graduates in corporates and senior citizens]
Method of conducting the program:
Level 1:
Students are directed to think about the purpose of life. Students are directed to feel and experience the first 3 levels of the Uni5 pattern - body-mind and intelligence.
Then they are prepared to understand the concept of being ''aware''.
Level 2:
Concept of panchaboothas is being presented. The concept is being made to get linked with the cosmos pattern, human body pattern and physiological working pattern.
Level 3:
The Uni5 hand chart is being given to them. With this chart each student study the BMIAC and panchaboothas with color coding.
Level 4:
Body level awareness
Students are directed to think, analyze, and identify what is actually ''BODY''? Then they are taught how to be aware about the body. The child is being helped to understand the concept of body of our self, others, other beings and whole society. The word awareness is the other name for being responsible. This is the ultimate result of the education.
Children in groups prepare list of body level awareness in 3 categories [self, other beings, society]. The list will be displayed in their working corner at school and home. Every week the child chooses his own rules to be followed [5 rules per week]. Every day the child observes his actions and at evening he marks by himself whether he was being aware about the rules. Parents at home are just asked to see whether they follow.
Example: 1. I am taking bath daily - yes\no
2. I have not bit the eraser today - yes\no
3. I have made use of my school dustbin - yes\no
4. I have not wasted my lunch - yes\no
5. I used to switch off the lights and fans of my class room - yes\no
Results: Teachers and parents said that the child has changed in his dressing, cleanliness, usage of materials etc. Many parents said that their stress has been reduced and child is being a role model for the other child at home.
This body level awareness continues for 8 weeks.
Level 5:
Then we give the concept of mind which is the most challenging one. Most of the issues among humans are because of mind. Mind is being trained to listen to the intelligence. The force to pull the mind is the awareness - viveka. This level exercise session includes 8 weeks.
First 2 weeks: Children observe their likes and dislikes and analyze why they have that tendency.
Second 2 weeks: Mind level awareness chart like body level chart is being marked especially for emotions and issues with others at home and school.
Third 2 weeks: 6 enemies within us [Shatshatru] concept is being presented [kama, krodha, madha, matsarya, loba and koba] The child is being assisted to observe these 6 negative qualities with their
root cause and try to avoid. Same marking chart exercise is given. Most importance is given to anger.
Fourth 2 weeks: Four yugas concept is being presented to the students. The yuga is the term given to the human mind's state of awareness by our ancient spiritual scientist - Maharishies. Students are very much interested in this exercise. They identify in which yuga they exist every moment. They used to paly and have fun with this.
More importance given to the reality of life [truth] without emotional stress - Sathya yuga
More imporatnce given to the dharma - Thretha yuga
More imporatnce given to mind with much emotional tendency - Dwapara yuga
More imporatnce given to body and being selfish - Kali yuga
Children have brought out very clear self-study about their own existence in 4 yugas.
Finally we make them to understand that mind is the power of mankind which is trying its best to see a way to keep itself comfortable and happy.
Children are directed to accept that happiness means we are accepting and following the cosmic pattern and the laws. They also understand distress comes when we disobey the cosmic patterns and rules. The most important part of the project is to make the child to practice the exercises within him and his environment.
Level 6:
In this stage we make the child to get focus upon the intellect part of his personality from handling his school materials till learning the concepts through his subjects. The main part of this session is to make the child to know that intellect must be always aligning with awareness. In this context children are being exposed to various imaginary situations. They are asked to solve the issues. The intellect part of child is getting focused with his actions. Analytical skill, logical skill and creative skill are the 3 skills which are being concentrated.
Level 7:
Finally we give the concept of consciousness. This is being selfless and acceptance of every one and every being by which the mind is moved to the service to all. The nature of child to assist others with love and care is the state of being conscious.
Samples:
1. 2.5 year old child in the school is being assisted by a 4 year old child to wear the foot wear - body level consciousness.
3. Friends given emotional comforts. - Mind level consciousness.
4. Children helping each other to know various things which includes given a simple information - teaching their lessons - Intellect level consciousness.
5. One child assisted other in knowing the concepts of numbers in Math class - intellect level awareness.
6. Children assisting each other to shift themself into viveka in perform an action - awareness level
consciousness.
By the end of the project child will arive the clear concept of BMIAC and learn to have a balanced state of BMIAC. The awareness given to each level makes us to become perfect with our actions which brings us the happiness and enjoyment of life. The child is being made to train and self-direct his own mind.
The project has made several changes among our own school children [2 - 5 years old], children with various family backups and also among the elders. We have observed that the adults who assist the children have also undergone the transformation.
