Subtle regulation of body, mind, speech and breath
The essence of education imparted through the medium of Science of Living : (Jeevan Vigyan) lies in the training and subtle regulation of mind, speech, body and breath. So long as we do not comprehensively understand the significance of these fundamental elements, we shall not be able to have balanced flow of breath and balanced life style and shall remain unaware of ourinfinite capacities.

A sound body, sweet speech and healthy mind pave the way for growth of balanced thought amongst the children. To begin with, the parents have to perform the crucial role of encouraging their children to follow the right path. The human mind has unlimited strengths and potentialities.
