Back to School!
TITI Sessions for teachers
Emotions, they say is energy in motion. Emotions (both positive and negative) are extremely powerful. If Emotions are harnessed and channelized they can totally transform an individual. Gurudev’s vision of India was to transform Indians into integrated personalities – physically fit, emotionally strong and intellectually refined. This scale of transformation requires work at the grassroots level and who better than teachers to do the job of moulding young minds into responsible and wholesome adults. To aid and equip the process of transformation, Br. Ved Chaitanyaji, the resident acharya of Chinmaya Prerana conducted a session on “Emotional Transformation” for the teachers of D.A.V Public School at Airoli on the 27th of June. Two sessions were held for the teachers of the secondary and the primary section respectively. About 100 teachers attended the sessions. It was a sight to behold – all the teachers with pen and paper, with an earnest expression on their faces and very eager to learn. It seemed that they were back to school in their ‘Student Avatar’. Vedji shared with the audience Gurudev’s vision and that of the Mission. Gurudev’s video clipping left the audience in splits. Vedji also elaborated at length the details of the TITI movement. He elucidated the use of “PEACE” mantra to bring about emotional alchemy. PEACE being acronym for Pause, Educate, Appreciate, Care/Compassion & Evolve. The talk left the teachers wanting for more. It was apparent that Vedji had ignited the TITI flame in the hearts of the teachers indeed.
May this small stride become a giant leap towards transforming India!
