MESSAGE FROM SANT RAJINDER SINGH
JI MAHARAJ, FOUNDER OF DARSHAN EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The world renowned, distinguished scientist
and spiritual Master Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj took an
innovative step when he established Darshan Education Foundation.
He created a unique educational system for bringing about world
peace, unity, love, and spirituality by establishing a network of
schools that offer students a spiritual curriculum together with
physical, and intellectual development.
He
named the schools "Darshan Academy" after the great
spiritual Master Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, whose life was
devoted to service, love for all, nonviolence, truthfulness,
humility, compassion, peace, and human unity. In the dedication
ceremony for the opening of the Academy, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji
said, "Time and again, Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj laid
great emphasis on education. He always wished that each of us
became a universal human being. A homogenous individual is a
well-rounded, sincere person, who also excels in all spheres of
life. Sant Darshan Singh Ji has said, 'We have a spiritual side
and an intellectual and a physical side. When we achieve a
harmonious blending of all these, when we become a fully
integrated human being, then our own full potential is realized.
Then, the inner energy is released. This brings about the maximum
benefit - to ourselves and to the world around us.' This is the
principal rationale for the Darshan Academy curriculum, which
focuses on ethical and spiritual development along with formal
education."
Education for a Peaceful World
During Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj's visit to
Columbia in 1990, he was invited to meet with the Ministry of
Education. During that meeting, the minister of education, Dr.
Manuel Francisco Beccerra, requested his advice on incorporating
spiritual values into the public school curriculum. The landmark
message Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj gave to the Ministry of
Education was later published as "Education for a Peaceful
World."
Parents and educators around the world are
beginning to recognize the need for introducing a spiritual and
ethical component into school curricula in order to provide a
truly holistic education. In response to this growing interest,
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji established the Darshan Academy schools.
