Description

Offers a constructive and brilliant alternative to what has been called the disaster of modern education. Gives practical techniques for incorporating spiritual values into learning.


Education for Life offers a constructive and brilliant alternative to what has been called the disaster of modern education. The need for a change is universally recognized. The statistics of illiteracy, drug abuse, and violence speak for themselves. In this book, Kriyananda traces the problems to an emphasis on technological competence at the expense of spiritual values, which alone can give higher meaning to life. Education for Life offers parents, educators, and concerned citizens everywhere techniques that are both compassionate and practical.


This revolutionary book is based on the pioneering work in India of Paramhansa Yogananda, in the early years of the twentieth century. The Education for Life system has been tested and proven for over three decades at the many Living Wisdom schools located throughout the United States.


This book is a workable combination of idealism and practicality telling educators what to teach, when to teach it, how to teach it, and why. Educators in both American and Europe have acclaimed the Living Wisdom schools as places where children are encouraged to grow toward full maturity as human beings, and where they learn not only facts, but also innovative principles for better living.


" T]he true goal of the education we receive during our school years must be to help prepare us for that lifelong learning process." -J. Donald Walters

About the Author
Walters, J. Donald: - In 1972 a fortuitous confluence of events made it possible to revive Yogananda's educational ideals. J. Donald Walters, a close American student of Yogananda's, had founded Ananda, the first World Brotherhood Colony, along the lines suggested by Yogananda. The families that gathered there were eager to provide their children with a school based on the principles from Ranchi. In 1917 the model for future Education for Life schools was founded in Ranchi, India, by Paramhansa Yogananda Paramhansa Yogananda, the author of Autobiography of a Yogi. He described some of his ideas in several documents, along with chapter 27 of his autobiography. In 1986 Mr. Walters published a major work, Education for Life, a book which describes the principles that Yogananda developed in language that is attuned to the modern Western audience. The book was launched at a weekend program at Ananda Village, attended by over 150 people. Walters emphasized that the principles described in the book are non-sectarian and could be broadly applied.
