Foreword
Some-times schools have very meaningful names like 'Sanskar Jyot' (Character Illumination) 'Vidya Mandir' (Temple of Knowledge) and so on. There is an 'Experimental' High School in Surat. A school in Bhavnagar city is called Gharshala (Home-School). The intention behind naming the school as Gharshala is to make you feel like you have stepped into a homely environment.
Home itself is a school where you feel that you have learnt something when you step out into the world. HomeSchool means it is as homely as a home while also being a school. This word may still not convey the entire meaning as intended because home is one such University, where an erudite is not affected by the pollution in the external environment, when he steps out into the outside world.
Today this University has become a little weak. Education of the new generation has become a pressing need of the hour. There have been some attempts in this direction. I have accumulated old principles, present environment, contextual knowledge from the scriptures, scientific reasonings and beliefs of psychologists in my book and attempted to present them as a panacea to the present need of a balanced education.
