When we talk about
education, the first few things that generally come to our mind are subjects,
degree, institution, marks etc. But little do we think of things that are what
we call the bigger picture. We need to look beyond the visible and think
freely. The education that encourages people to think freely, evaluate without
any bias and take decisions using both logic & emotions is education in
true sense. For sure education is useful in building a good career, but it
makes more sense when it plays a vital role in shaping our life too. Thus, one
should understand that the process of learning never stops and thus the source
of education should not be limited to textbooks. There are many other things
that happen in our daily lives from which we can learn like:
- Talking to our teachers about things apart from course subjects
- Listening to advices from our elders
- Hanging out with friends
- Spending time alone analyzing people and their behavior
- Spending time with nature
- Learning from our everyday mistakes and lots more…
It is the above things
along with our formal education that gives us the true way to lead a fruitful
life. ISKCON, is one of the famous global organizations that truly believes in
spirituality as an important part of education. The Bhaktivedanta Gurukula and
International School (BGIS), which is a product of ISKCON is coming up with a
mammoth education project in the form of a global school which will be home to
600 school students and 400 college students. This will give children an
opportunity to get complete education which will be a beautiful combination of
spiritual and modern education. People can come forward and help BGIS &
ISKCON by giving their contribution in the form of donations to sponsor a child’s
education. This noble work of charity will help the children become better
human beings and make the world better by their good deeds. To donate and see

As truly quoted by a
famous American philosopher John Dewey ~ “Education is not preparation for
life; education is life itself”
