Program Description

Achievement in life depends on one’s ability to concentrate. Yet this can be the hardest thing for a child to do. Their minds are like naughty puppies, dragging them around quickly from one thought to the next, always readily distracted by cell phones, iPods, and video games that increasingly challenge them to remain on task with a clear mind. There is a strategy to reduce this restlessness, continuous seeking of sensations and material satisfaction – yoga.

In our summer camp, boys and girls prepare for life together. They  are immersed in creative and healthy practices that they can adopt quickly, and incorporate into their lives at home:

  • Asana
  • Meditation
  • Pranayama
  • Mantra
  • Healthy eating habits

The guidelines of our curriculum and activity were carefully designed:

Ecology

  • To raise environmental awareness
  • To teach the value of wild life and wild lands
  • To increase the understanding of conservation and its requisite behaviors from humans (use of dustbin, recycling, don’t pollute, etc.)

Equality

  • To provide opportunities for personality development and expansion
  • To present an image of the future with equal distribution of responsibility in building and maintaining healthy communities

Education

  • To strengthen the intellect and make it a servant of the heart
  • To embed the personhood in a foundation of Rajasthani culture and patriotism
  • To stoke the flames of curiosity
  • To teach methods of maintaining a healthy body and mind
  • To use a model of learning inherent to the free and fun spirit of a child

Enlightenment

  • To introduce tools for living a life prioritizing the truth of spirit
  • To provide learning events where courage is inspired to deny the temptation of materialism
For registration, parents are required to sign a “No Child Marriage” contract with the Guru. This ensures that parents will not marry their child off before the legal age of 18.
