Bal KRISHNA and the modern education

Krishna is supremely naughty, forever tricking his playmates and playing pranks on his mother and other village folk .Stealing butter is his favourite sport - not because he is ill fed or deprived of his favourite food but because he enjoys playing naughty tricks. He lies and cheats while playing games with other children and teases young girls and women. The Krishna Leela has beeen celebrated in our mythology, painting, literary creations, dance and music through ages

To see an image of baby Krishna in each child is to recognise the divinity of every child and learn to delight in their making sense of and negotiating with this world in their unique way , including through naughty pranks and childish tantrums. Children don't need air conditioned classrooms, expensive schools, toys and exotic entertainment to make them happy.They need unconditional love and a sense of security from the adults responsible for their well-being.They are as happy playing with mud or sand,chasing butterflies or simply running around,jumping up and down or cranking stink bombs.

Each child is unique and should not be expected to become a flawless line product or behave like a saint! Real education lies in enabling each child to discover his own genius within.
