“Yadum Oorey Yavarum Keleer “ Every place, my place, every person, relative”
UNCRPD – Human Family
Swami Vivekananda
"Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs"`
As the wise test gold by burning, cutting and
rubbing it, so are you to accept my word after
examining them and not merely out of regard for me
The Buddha

Teacher see the Truth pervading in the animate and the
