HOLISTIC EDUCATION DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Holistic education aiming at holistic health; facilitating physical, instinctual, emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth (with productive element being integrated in it) is essential for the welfare of individuals, groups, nations and the world. NAMASMARAN is core of holistic education. The piecemeal approach or facilitation of petty pursuits (under the guise of development and progress) are not only useless but are in fact counterproductive! These approaches have lead to cancerous spread of industries with uncontrolled production of unnecessary utilities and their maddening marketing. These industries consume energy, fuel and add to
undisposable waste and pollution. This sick atmosphere on the one hand promotes the growth of terrorism and pretends to act against it (in a counterproductive way) on the other! Lack of holistic education is responsible for the hype of value systems nurturing the above conditions.
