Samagra Vikas facilitated through Panchamukhi Shikshana

The vision of Rashtrotthana Parishat and RVK is – “Swastha-Susthira Samajanirmaana”

The main goal of education is to shape a well-rounded personality, elevating individuals from basic instincts to divine human qualities. It should equip children for material prosperity and Adhyatmik Anand. Education should instil the qualities of Paripurna Manav depicted in Bharatiya Sanskriti through Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.

Human personality comprises five Koshas (layers):

  • Physical – Annamaya Kosha
  • Psychological – Praanamaya Kosha
  • Emotional – Manomaya Kosha
  • Intellectual – Vigyanamaya Kosha
  • Spiritual – Anandamaya Kosha

Uniform and complete development of all five aspects of human personality can happen only through integral education or Panchamukhi Shikshana that achieves Panchakoshatmak Vikaas or Paripurnata of Manav.

At RVK, we follow Panchamukhi Shikshana, an education system encompassing five key aspects to ensure Samagra Vikas (holistic development) in our children.

Development of Annamaya and Pranamaya Kosha - Physical
  • Develop physical strength by engaging in games and sports
  • Build flexibility and stamina by incorporating yoga
  • Develop healthy living habits by providing good nutrition
  • Practise hygiene and personal health by emphasising cleanliness and personal well-being.
  • Develop Prana Shakti and Indriya Shakti through systematic and structured Ashtanga Yoga practice.

Globally, people perceive physical education (PE) and sports as less critical for a child’s education than intellectual development. However, physical development forms the foundation of education and is vital for overall well-being and enjoyment.

RVKs’ physical fitness programs, including games and martial arts, are complemented by ensuring a balanced diet for proper growth and nourishment.

Development of Manomaya Kosha - Psychological

Psychological development is essential for overall growth. A positive and focused mind is crucial for achieving goals in life.

  • Understand the behaviour of Manas.
  • Train the Manas to handle negativity.
  • Purify Manas by removing defilements – Arishad Varga: Kaama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, Matsarya.
  • Learn concentration and active detachment.

Engaging in practices like Ashtanga yoga and meditation cultivates a peaceful, strong, and balanced mind, which we can easily direct towards larger goals and higher visions.

RVK’s systematic and structured yoga classes promote harmony of the body, mind, and spirit, equipping students with the skills to plan, prepare, and forge their future.

Development of Manomaya Kosha - Emotional
  • Develop strong bonds with self, family, society, nation, humanity, and the universe.
  • Take pride in our rich, vast and ancient cultural heritage.

“Actions are mighty, thoughts are almighty” – Swami Vivekananda.

Emotional development encompasses “Manomay Kosha,” focusing on aspects related to the mind. Thought, the root of all actions, is influenced by the behaviour of the mind. Manomay kosha deals with managing emotions and building positive social relationships. Developing the mind is crucial for building a robust Emotional Quotient (EQ).

At RVK, we nurture students’ emotional well-being via dance, drama, music, art, and cultural activities, instilling a deep sense of love, loyalty, and patriotism in them.

Development of Vigyanamaya Kosha - Intellectual
  • Developing deep strength in observation, analysis, synthesis, abstract thinking, logical reasoning, problem-solving, imagination, creativity and language skills

“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already existing in man” – Swami Vivekananda.

Our intellect allows us to think independently, discern between good and evil, and make logical decisions by analysing situations. Intellectual development goes beyond memorisation and cracking exams. It involves equipping the child to assimilate, process, understand, and create wisdom. The emphasis should be on developing these faculties through the NCERT curriculum.

Progressing towards Anandamaya Kosha - Spiritual
  • Understanding the true goal of life – the path of happiness – “Sat-Chit-Anand”.
  • Understand various paths to ‘Oneness with Universe’ – “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”

The essence of spiritual development is: to be born human, live a humane life and grow as divine!

Spiritual development unveils the inherent divinity within a child, guiding them to realise and manifest their true nature—Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss). Spiritual Education aims to transform human life into divine life, fulfilling the adventure of existence in human form on earth.

RVK provides a serene and spiritually nurturing environment through regular prayers, chanting shlokas, Bhagwad Geeta, and Veda mantras.

Samagra Vikas facilitated through Panchamukhi Shikshana

The basic system of education at RVKs (Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra) is known as ‘Panchamukhi Shikshana’, a value-based education for the all-round development of a child. Apart from Intellectual Development, focus is also given on the Emotional, Psychological, Physical and Spiritual Development in order to bring the holistic growth in the students.

Physical Aspect

Intellectual

At RVKs psychological and academic ambience is provided by ensuring vibrant creative and innovative environment to the child, where the teacher deliberately provokes the student to think and ask questions, challenge them with new ideas, as a result of which the entire process seeps into child’s subconscious mind that learning is an active and joyous process.

Psychological

Yoga is essentially a way of life that integrates the means of harmonizing the body, mind and spirit that elevates the child psychologically. There are eight steps: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Prarthyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi which elevates the psychological aspect of the student. Through a series of postures, breathing exercises, Asanas, Mudras, Pranayama and Meditation children are enlightened. That helps them to plan purposefully, prepare prayerfully, proceed positively and pursue persistently so as to create their own beautiful world.

Emotional

Children are ‘Emotionally” enriched by learning dance, drama, music, art and crafts along with celebration of various Jayanthi’s and Festivals of the rich Bharatiya Culture, Heritage and Strong Ethical Values. As a result of which child’s personality is enriched and enlightened with love, loyalty and proactive patriotism in general, family, society and our motherland in specific.

Spiritual

We ensure ‘Spiritual’ environment filled with serenity, joy and beauty which are consciously cultivated through prayers, chanting of Shlokas, Bhagwad Geeta and Veda Mantras as a part of regular activity.

Academic Support

Rashtrotthana believes that a strong foundation in academics is crucial for a child’s overall development. From pre-primary to 6th standard, the school offers robust academic support that is tailored to meet the diverse learning needs of every student. Regular assessments and feedback mechanisms ensure that students receive timely guidance and support to excel in their studies.

The school’s commitment to innovation is reflected in its inclusion of interdisciplinary projects and practical activities that engage students and promote active learning.
Rashtrotthana’s pedagogical approach is centred around the child. The school recognizes that each student is unique, and learning styles vary. To accommodate this diversity, teachers employ a variety of teaching methods, including experiential learning, group discussions, and hands-on activities. This child-centric pedagogy encourages students to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering independence and a lifelong love for learning.
