Holistic education aims to facilitate physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth to benefit individuals, groups, nations, and the world. It takes a holistic approach rather than focusing on petty pursuits or piecemeal development. A lack of holistic education has led to out-of-control industries that produce unnecessary products, consume resources, add to pollution, and promote an atmosphere conducive to terrorism. Namasmaran, or remembrance of God, is at the core of holistic education.

1. HOLISTIC EDUCATION
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.
