"Anger is my slave: it is under my control..... But
you are a slave of anger: how easily you lose your temper!... Therefore, are you
a slave of my slave?..
To understand the above header first understand the following:
"Real knowledge,
like everything else of value,
is not to be obtained easily.
It must be worked for, studied for, thought for,
and,
more than all,
must be prayed for."
The above was said by Thomas Arnold (1795-1842) who had a profound and
lasting effect on the development of public school education in England. Arnold
introduced mathematics, modern history and modern languages and instituted the
form system and introduced the prefect system to keep discipline. He modernized
the teaching of Classics by directing attention to literary, moral or historical
questions.
Although Arnold held strong views, he made it clear
to his students they were not expected to accept those views, but to examine the
evidence and to think for themselves.
Arnold had a deep sympathy for the poor and in 1831 he started a
newspaper that advocated social reform. The newspaper failed but Arnold
continued to write on these subject for the rest of his life. Arnold was also a
strong supporter of Catholic Emancipation.
1997: PRAJAAPATI VISHVA AASHRAM
FOUNDATION
(PVAF)
was established as a non-profit, volunteer driven, world wide, borderless,
timeless, community platform on which all communities in the world can be
empowered to create resources for educating all the children in the world for
employment in the evolving knowledge-based markets around the world; thus
stopping generational poverty due to illiteracy and creating family growth,
prosperity and well-being.
PVAF's birth sounds like the continuation of aspirations of Thomas Arnold
for the quest of REAL KNOWLEDGE.... and
PVAF is doing that with a lot of praying in the form of sharing of teaching,
learning and using the REAL KNOWLEDGE of
life and creation called veD ....
veD is totally used in the
continuing development of PVAF Gujraat Education
Program (GEP) as its first step in its mandate to alleviate poverty
among the current humanity......
This PVAF GEP is incidentally the same
aspiration Thomas Arnold had for poor and for social reform for removal
of poverty......PVAF prays for the blessing of Thomas Arnold for acquiring
REAL KNOWLEDGE by all PVAF volunteers,
donors and receipents of PVAF services under PVAF GEP......:so
that:
ALL SHALL BE REALIZED AT PVAF
BECAUSE PVAF IS SIMPLY TO MAKE
EACH HUMAN'S TOMORROW
HAPPIER THAN TODAY.....
And with the above mandate and lots of blessings from many of YOU
around the world, PVAF will only succeed as its REALITY
is TRUE KNOWLEDGE.... PVAF's service
programs are just its body which will be eternally changing to suit the service
needs of the needy humanity.....
Alexander The Great (356-323 BC) after he conquered Indus valley part
of India in his campaign to establish an empire stretching from Greece to India
which became subsequently the Roman Empire learned this
REAL KNOWLEDGE from a yogi in India that the
REAL can never be killed or conquered....To read this real life
