Preamble
Jeevan Vidya is a unique model of Value Education also known as Madhyastha Darshan Sah-astitvavad propounded by Shri A. Nagraj (Amarkantak). It brings out the innate harmony in existence and clarifies that man by understanding this harmony is able to be in harmony within himself and with others in society and rest of nature. This in turn leads to value based conduct, education, constitution and order in the society which is the desire of every human being. It gives you a process of dialogue between what you are and what you really want to be and helps you explore the natural acceptance for harmony within you and in your interactions with the existence. This exploration is a process of being in harmony in oneself and in harmony with the entire existence.
