Worldview of Harmonious Coexistence

Coexistence

If we were to choose one word that signifies the essence of this education, it would be: COEXISTENCE. It's what brings teachers, children and their families from near and far together at the Global Guardians School.

Coexistence means existing together.

The Four Orders

Nature's Harmony

Madhyasth Darshan categories everything we see on the Earth into four orders or distinct stages:

Matter Order

पदार्थ अवस्था

Plant Order

प्राण अवस्था

Animal Order

जीव अवस्था

Knowledge Order

ज्ञान अवस्था

Coexistence is the foundation of existence. The four orders of nature are intricately interrelated, with each order creating the conditions for the next to flourish. Every entity is useful and complementary to the others, and each order has a unique role in ensuring the balance and wellbeing of the whole. Through proper education, human beings can understand this coexistence and learn to live in alignment with it, participating meaningfully in families, society, and systems that support the continuity of harmony and balance on Earth. This is coexistence.

Educational Philosophy

Madhyasth Darshan

Madhyasth Darshan (Worldview of Harmonious Coexistence) propounded by Shri A. Nagraj, is a comprehensive knowledge system that fosters holistic and harmonious living.

It is a new development in human understanding which proposes that all of existence coexists in a harmonious system. Everything is related to everything else and nothing exists in isolation.

Understanding Existence, Consciousness and Humane Conduct leads to living in harmony in family, society and system.

A Worldview of Harmony

  • Everything is related and nothing exists in isolation
  • There is an inherent harmony from atomic to cosmic level
  • Humans have the potential to evidence this harmony
