Holistic Education Through Ancient Wisdom
Panchkoshiy Vikas, based on the ancient Indian philosophy of the five sheaths (koshas), forms the foundation of holistic education. It emphasizes the balanced development of the body (Annamaya Kosh), life energy (Pranamaya Kosh), mind (Manomaya Kosh), intellect (Vigyanmaya Kosh), and soul (Anandmaya Kosh). This model nurtures not just academic skills but also emotional strength, ethical values, spiritual awareness, and physical well-being.
Panchakosha is an ancient explication of the importance of the body-mind complex in human experience and understanding. The child is a whole being with panchakoshas or five sheaths. Each layer exhibits certain distinct characteristics. This non-dichotomous approach to human development gives clear pathways and direction towards a more holistic education.
Age-specific balanced physical development, physical fitness, flexibility, strength, and endurance; development of the senses; nutrition, hygiene, personal health, expansion of physical abilities; building body and habits; keeping in mind one hundred years of healthy living in a human being.
Balance and retention of energy, positive energy and enthusiasm, smooth functioning of all major systems (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems) by activation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
Concentration, peace, will and will power, courage, handling negative emotions, developing virtues (maulyavardhan), the will to attach and detach from work, people and situations, happiness, visual and performing arts, culture, and literature.
Observation, experimentation, analytical ability, abstract and divergent thinking, synthesis, logical reasoning, linguistic skills, imagination, creativity, power of discrimination, generalization, and abstraction.
