Answering the Doubts of Bal Vikas Gurus

SAI RAM. THE TRANSCRIPT OF THIS DIVINE DISCOURSE IS UNAVAILABLE AT THIS POINT. 

Entry in Sanathana Sarathi, February 1974 about this discourse:

As requested earlier, the Bal Vikas teach­ers had placed in Bhagavan’s Hands a few questions concerning their work, and Bhaga­van graciously spent more than an hour, elucidating the principles of Bal Vikas, while answering the doubts raised by them. He said that children of all creeds are wel­come to benefit by the Bal Vikas, and directed teachers to pay special attention to the basic ideals of all religions; He wanted the Saints and Sages, the legendary heroes of all faiths have to be placed before the children, and an atmosphere of Love and Mutual Co‑operation encouraged. He directed that emphasis must be laid on character more than book learning. He wanted that the teacher must win the hearty co‑operation of the parents in the task of manifesting the Divinity that lies dormant in the child. He exhorted the teachers not to be disturbed by the opposition or indiffere­nce of the authorities under whom they now serve, for the reason that they do not appre­ciate the service they do. He assured them that His grace will be ever with them to guard and guide. He urged them to develop Self‑confidence and proceed fearlessly on the Path they have selected for self-realisation.
