We are working to pass on this Yogi education to the next generation through the education of children in our Divine Yoga School, which incorporates Yoga into an academic setting. The children grow up with Yoga as a way of life that is not separate from their daily activities. This empowers and strengthens them to bring out their own inner light and make a difference in the world around them.
In 2011, the Divine Yoga Gurukul got established as part of the NGO Shanti Yoga ashram. The Divine Yoga Gurukul, located in Machhegaun Village, Nepal, is a school recognized under the government of Nepal that follows the official curriculum and standard examination process. Our mission is to educate children regardless of their social status, gender or any other background. The school has been welcoming outside students with free education for more than ten years. In the last four years, we made the residential facilities for the children who stay long-term, to provide them of all basic life-facilities not provided at their home. There are provided of shelter, food and education. Not only do we give them basic education, food and shelter, we also educate them with yogic science and agricultural development so they become self-reliant and strong individuals in an ever-changing society. We give attention to their social-and emotional development and use yoga and meditation as a tool to ensure their physical and emotional wellbeing.
Our vision is to provide free education to children regardless their background and establish yoga as a part of higher education, to sustain the ancient teachings. Our hope is that young people will value yoga as being absolutely essential for their own personal well-being, supporting everything they wish to achieve in life. This will benefit the society as a whole.
Our mission is to provide yogic education in a traditional ashram setting, to go beyond academics and give a comprehensive learning experience which inspires students to bring out their inner potential.
The students receive regular schooling in the form of English, math, science, Nepali and morals to ensure proper education for their future. Simultaneously they explore yoga in its full depth through:
This form of education ensures their emotional and spiritual well-being. The result is children who are physically healthy, mentally peaceful and emotionally joyful.
Through the practice of yoga the students cultivate tools for success in their studies. Their concentration and memory skills are enhanced; while they gain inner peace to handle any situation in life. They naturally develop qualities like: humility, patience, generosity, contentment and love for all living entities.
