12. Students should know how are they different from those who are going to school and how they are better than them? They should develop better understanding about what they are doing.

ReplyDelete>>Decision by voting and everyone should accept this decision except when Savyasachi Das in consultation with H.H.Bhakti Vikas Maharaja finds it objectionable and ask the committee to reconsider it because of the reasons given by him to the committee.In ultimate issue Savyasachi Das under the guidance of Maharaja has the right to modify or cancel the decision taken by the committee.
6. Morality be taught from GSEB, CBSE books and other books listed earlier, but they should be taught with proper discrimination. Prime importance be given to bhakti, since morality is mere bi-product of bhakti.
>>Worldly wisdom and morality which is not contradictory to bhakti (as taught to us by Srila Prabhupada) should be taught but emphasis should be given to the theme reflected by the verse "yasyasti bhakti....".
Please consider these comments and if agreed upon by all then amendments can be made accordingly.
Also I suggest among you four one should be the chairman for 1 year and should be rotated amongst you annually.
Chairman job will be to call and co-ordinate the meetings, maintain the minutes of the meetings and more can be thought about his functions by you all and discussed in the next meeting.
Thank you very much for the initiative. Lets try our best to implement this desire of Srila Prabhupada-Gurukulas and Farms.
Your servant
Sacyasachi Das
