“Spirituality should be a compulsory part of Education System”
INTRODUCTION: Lives today are characterized by cut Throat competition. Today stress, tensions,
depressions have become intrinsic part of our lives. Spirituality makes a person look inward to deal with
various mental issues. Spirituality includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves and
it typically involves a search for meaning In life. Thus spiritual lectures are essential in schools. For a
better tomorrow we need educated and righteous professionals.
Issues of the today’s society:
 Child delinquency
 Divorces
 Ragging
 Theft
 Women abuse
 Drinking
 Smoking
 Child labor
 Crimes
 Declination of moral values
 Disappearing ethics and Virtuos
 Craziness about money
A student killed a teacher, A friend killed a friend, A doctor killed his whole family.
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS: All the social evils are because we are just producing educated machines
but not good human beings. Spirituality is the solution to all these problems.
Spirituality is not about religion, not about being saints or mataji. Its about inner purification,
knowing about ourselves, who we are, what is the actual aim of our lives.
