- [Neohumanist Education for Peace](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/neohumanist-education-for-peace/): Keynote address at the international NHE Conference Caracas, Venezuela, April 2014 by Dr. Shambhushivananda Looking back, about 8000 million years ago (mya), this Earth was only a blazing ball of fire; 4000 mya, it consisted of molten lava and volcanoes; 340 mya life existed only in water; 223 mya land appeared as Gondwanaland; 70 mya birds and mammals appeared; one mya human beings appeared on the scene. We should not assume that we have come to the end of this […]
- [Neohumanist Network](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/neohumanist-network/): Rise of a Global Movement by Dr. Shambhushivananda Shrii P R Sarkar initiated the idea of “Neohumanism” in 1981-1982 as the basis of a global movement for the “liberation of human intellect”. It was further legitimized with the founding of “Ananda Marga Gurukula” in 1990 as an educational forum’s raison d’être, its core purpose. Today, the neohumanist network spans over 80 countries and continues to expand day by day. Governments, NGO’s, grass roots volunteers and academicians alike are appreciating its […]
- [Neohumanism and Integral Ecology](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/neohumanism-and-integral-ecology/): by Eric Jacobson What is Integral Learning?  In school, this means using thematic units that integrate many academic disciplines. By contrast, most school learning is accomplished through separate subject studies. For example, the History of the Ancient Greeks would be a social studies unit—removed from reading, writing, math, science, art, music, etc. But in our daily life and jobs, learning tends to be integrated, rarely sorted and artificially detached into academic niche subjects. Furthermore, children’s minds are touched and inspired […]
- [Including All Families](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/including-all-families/): By Didi Ananda Devapriya Families play a central role in the life of children – indeed a child’s identity is first formed in relationship to her family. To develop a healthy positive sense of self, children need to have their family experiences affirmed when they start to venture out of that safe nest and experience the larger society. Children are very sensitive to noticing differences between themselves and expected norms and feeling different can lead to a feeling of isolation […]
- [Intangible Gains](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/intangible-gains/): by Eric Jacobson What are the results of a character-based education? What if the priority during childhood was to develop special traits and healthy attitudes, rather than fill in the right bubble on an answer sheet? And what if you didn’t let anything interfere with these priorities? The answers are in. After fifteen years of interviews with students who graduated Progressive School, their responses have been compiled, revealing a clear pattern. There are 13 character qualities that these young people, […]
- [Applied Learning](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/applied-learning/): by Eric Jacobson “Why do I have to learn this?” Perhaps the most common question ever asked in school by children, it deserves a better answer than “because it is on the test.” The heavy reliance on testing for feedback about human progress has skewed our perceptions about what really matters in education over the long term. Short-sighted test drilling does not address the deeper developmental needs of childhood. With so much invested in this memorize-test-forget approach to learning, it […]
- [Ecology](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/ecology/): by Eric Jacobson Ecology is the branch of biology dealing with the relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other organisms. Human beings around the world have increasingly embraced the practices recommended by ecologists in recent years. Neohumanists can not only ride this powerful wave of increased awareness about our relationship with the world around us, they can add momentum to it! The original catalyst for the popularity of the ecological movement was fear—fear that we humans were […]
- [Mind Flows in Two Directions](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/mind-flows-in-two-directions/): by Eric Jacobson Mind flows in two main directions, outwardly and inwardly. When the mental flow is outward, it is directed through the senses into the material world.  The information received is then processed by the brain.  This information is limited to the perceptual ability of the senses, or the instrument being used to enhance their wavelength receptivity.  Therefore, the learning is also limited and imperfect. When the mental flow is inward, it moves into the realm of consciousness, an […]
- [What is Neohumanism?](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/what-is-neohumanism/): Keynote Speech given at 25th Anniversary Fundraising Gala for the Progressive School of Long Island, April 21, 2010 by Graduate Amal Jacobson Tonight I was asked to give a speech on Neohumanism, but that of course leads us to the obvious question, “What is Neohumanism?” It’s not an easy question to answer. Is it a philosophy? A way of life? An attitude? Or is Neohumanism a practice — a task we need to rebuild ourselves towards anew with each passing […]
- [Pseudo-Culture or True Human Culture?](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/pseudo-culture-or-true-human-culture/): by Eric Jacobson Idealism is strong when it comes to one’s own child. No parent wants to see their child become a slave to the money making mass media machine. Even those who are themselves addicted to the products of this machine will try to keep it from their children for as long as possible. Not only is it an expensive habit for a parent to maintain, but it also tends to lead to stagnation in materialism at best, and […]

- [Storytelling](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/storytelling/): The child’s mind is filled with fanciful imagery, and so the litterateurs will also have to soar in the sky of imagination with outstretched wings. However, they cannot afford to give indulgence to intricacies and complexities in this visionary ascent. The thirst for the distant, and the earnest zeal to know the unknown that abides in the child’s mind must be fulfilled by drawing pictures of magical lands and relating colourful fairy tales. “Real” or “natural” is not so important […]

Rig Veda WHAT IS UNIVERSALISM REALLY ABOUT? by Mahajyoti Glassman We are blessed with a panorama of diversity in our world. There are the legion of physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, psychic, and spiritual capabilities as well as age, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, income, interests, family, education, politics, […]
- [Neohumanist Philosophy](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/neo-humanist-philosophy/): By Marcus Bussey Simple ideas are often the most powerful. This is certainly the case with Neohumanism. Rooted in the ancient yogic perception that all existence is bound together, that we are all interconnected, Neohumanism transcends a limited and deeply wounded humanism with an holistic reconceptualisation of what it is to be human. Neohumanism is a process of becoming consciously, self consciously, human. Essentially it is a term both general and specific, covering as it does all the ‘holisms’ that […]
- [The Seers of Truth - Literature, Responsibility and Brave Hearts](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/the-seers-of-truth-literature-responsibility-and-brave-hearts/): excerpts from – P. R. Sarkar copyright 1999 The aim of artistic creation is to impart joy and bliss. The bestowers of this bliss, the servers of the people, cannot keep their daily lives aloof from commonplace events, mingled with pleasures and pains, smiles and tears. The children of the soil of this earth are those with whom literature must remain inseparably associated – and the writer is also one of them. A Writer’s Responsibility People seek deliverance from the […]
- [A Trans-Disciplinary Approach](https://neohumanisteducation.org/resources/articles/a-trans-disciplinary-approach/): by Marcus Bussey Neohumanism honors the multiplicity that is the sum of human consciousness. This has important implications for the way classrooms can be structured and curricula constructed. Traditional education has involved an attempt to strip learning down to its discrete parts and demystify knowledge. Neohumanism seeks to put the mystery back into learning by weaving the disciplines back into an holistic world view that engages the whole of the child’s spirit, mind and body in a quest of wonder […]

- [Teachers](https://neohumanisteducation.org/teachers/): “…teachers must be selected carefully. High academic qualifications do not necessarily confer on a person the right to become at teacher. Teachers must possess such qualities as personal integrity, strength of character, righteousness, a feeling for social service, unselfishness, an inspiring personality and leadership ability.…Because teachers have an extremely important role to play, their professional standard must be very high.” – P.R.Sarkar A teacher is an adult in a world of children, automatically a model in a position of authority.

- [ELF - Earth Lovers Family](https://neohumanisteducation.org/programmes/elf/): Neohumanism is closely linked to the care of the environment and all its inhabitants, and our schools and educational programmes prominently reflect this in their activities. The main objective of ELF is that our schools are truly a family that loves the immediate surroundings and all its inhabitants. Each school needs to research their local environment and have clear knowledge of the environmental problems. This research can include contacting all the local organisations working for the environment. The school can […]

- [Curriculum](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/): “Educated are those who have learnt much, remembered much and made use of their learning in practical life.”  “The thirst for acquiring knowledge will have to be aroused in students. A sense of reverence and devotion as well as discipline will have to be taught. Along with this, a scientific outlook will also have to be inculcated.”  – Shrii P.R.Sarkar WHOLE CHILD LEARNINGThe curriculum in an NHE school addresses the whole development of the child. All aspects of the personality are […]
- [Values](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/values/): “In our education system emphasis should be given to moral education and the inculcation of idealism, not only philosophy and traditions. The practice of morality should be the most important subject in the syllabus at all levels.”P.R. Sarkar Though we may not always agree on what is or is not “right”, there is little doubt that people of all ages can profit from an education in cardinal human values. The absence of teaching these basic, universal values has added to […]
- [Universalism](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/universalism/): ” No “ism” except universalism can be tolerated in the educational system.” “Any narrow ism may be transformed into universalism and accepted by all only when all physical barriers, psychic hindrances and spiritual impediments have been removed from the periphery of that ism.”– PR Sarkar Overcoming narrow-mindedness is a goal in many courses and study in NHE Schools. It comes into play most prominently in social studies, but also has a role in many other subjects, including reading, writing, the […]
- [Meditation](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/meditation/): It seems that the mind of the average American child receives ample training from earliest infancy on how to move in an extroversial direction, meaning that the flow of mind is directed outwardly, through the senses and into the physical objects in the environment. With the help of the motor organs, the child is constantly engaged in the exploration of this environment. The objects are recreated in the internal mental sphere with increasing accuracy and dexterity, until they can virtually […]
- [Literature](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/literature/): The body of reading at NHE Schools has a primary purpose: To bring children in contact with authors whose ideas can offer mental and spiritual expansion. Through books we can touch the mind of nearly anyone who has ever committed their thoughts to words! We therefore think of reading as a way of magically “keeping company” with people separated from us by distance or by time. We need to choose carefully the type of “company” that young children are keeping […]
- [The Ecology of Joy](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/ecologyofjoy/): Neohumanism introduces the necessity of supporting children in the recognition and definition of themselves as something more than a physical being. Children are more than immature human beings with physical bodies, intellect, emotion, and innocence. They are progeny of the Infinite, genuine manifestations of the Divine. Many world spiritual philosophies have reiterated the elusiveness of happiness. Neohumanism propounds that the only way to guarantee unlimited happiness is to identify with the Absolute. It is difficult if not impossible for humanity […]
- [The Arts](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/cur_arts/): All too often The Arts are considered peripheral subjects, unimportant beyond their ability to provide the main classroom teacher a break, useless to the vast majority who will not pursue careers in drama, dance, music or fine arts. NHE takes an approach that is nearly the opposite. NHE puts The Arts at the center of the curriculum. Here are some of the reasons: The Arts aid brain development: It has been clearly established that music helps the brain to establish […]
- [Applied Learning](https://neohumanisteducation.org/curriculum/appliedlearning/): “Educated are those who have learnt much, remembered much and made use of their knowledge in practical life. These virtues I shall call by the name of `education.’ For such an education mere alphabetical knowledge is not essential. However, it is certainly admitted that literary knowledge is immensely useful in reproducing what one has already learnt.”P. R. Sarkar We observe, we think, we do. This is how the neural pathways of the brain are formed. It is in the final […]
- [Objectives](https://neohumanisteducation.org/about/about_objectives/): The real meaning of education is trilateral development – simultaneous development in the physical, mental and spiritual realms of human existence. This development should enhance the integration of the human personality. By this, dormant human potentialities will be awakened and put to proper use. Educated are those who have learnt much, remembered much and made use of their learning in practical life. —  Shrii P.R. Sarkar NHE strives for a harmonious balance between inner development and objective engagement and service […]
- [Neohumanism](https://neohumanisteducation.org/about/neohumanism/): Love in Action “When the underlying spirit of humanism is extended to everything, animate and inanimate, in this universe, I have designated this as Neohumanism. This Neohumanism will elevate humanism to universalism, love for all created beings of this universe.” – Shrii P.R. Sarkar Neohumanism is a new ethic for the new millennium. It broadens our understanding of what it is to be human by promoting an ecological awareness of our relationship with the entire universe. In short Neohumanism is […]
