Parents of newly admitted students to The Mother’s International School (MIS) attended an orientation session conducted by Dr. Ramesh Bijlani on Integral Education in which he explained as to how it goes beyond what is normally called value or moral education, and why that is important. He also touched upon the futuristic vision of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and why it is likely that children of today will manifest a distinctly higher level of consciousness. This manifestation may translate into children asking deep existential questions at a very young age, or using criteria quite different from the conventional ones while choosing their careers or their partners. Dr. Bijlani thus prepared the parents for not getting too disturbed by novel flowerings of their children’s talents and behaviour.
