Preparing for take off

A rocket before its launch.....huge amount of energy that helps them propel into the atmosphere & further.

A plane on the runway gathers its energy & then soars off.

A young adult when about to take off or launch himself/herself in the world uses all the education he/she has ever received.

Education here includes what he/she learnt as a baby, through school, from all his teachers at school & otherwise. Its a process of preparing the children to take off independently. Holistic education will always include awareness about culture, society, health, environment and self. Many modern schools have included serving the community & caring for environment as part of its curriculum. Its to get the young ones to imbibe that we are a part of the whole & all of us beings & the environment are God's creation and we need to care - selflessly!

The Gita knowledge professes (among other fundamental truths), helping others and for the environment as its all part of God's manifestation.

So if Gita principles were part of the children's education it would truly give them holistic education and prepare them for take off and smooth soaring as well as soft landings!!!!
