I think that to > understand and re-structure the curriculum and the content of the education > it is necessary to identify the existential harmonious order of everything, > i.e. atom to earth (creation); natural human to natural human society, > natural laws to constitutional laws. Research studies, right from the > earliest literature down to recent times are focused on the essential cosmic > harmony - interrelatedness and interdependence of all planets and all beings. > The ABC of Harmony also manifests the scientific and natural way of thinking > phenomenon. There is divine harmonious unity, symmetry, orderliness and > coexistence in the phenomenal diversity. There is continuity in the process > of evolution in the four stages of the Natural Order - material order, > respiratory order, animal order and human order. Every unit in the Nature is > coherent from within and correlated to the Cosmic Harmonious Order. All > existing living and non-living objects are self-controlled and inherently > balanced by the Laws of Nature. Every activity is governed by the Laws of > Nature and it functions in a harmonious manner. In order to live in harmony > with Nature, human beings must recognize and respect its intrinsic laws and > its vital cycles. In such a System, all the objects, being and non-beings > have to live within their limits as determined by the Law of Nature. The > human existence has to function and sustain itself within this System. > Accordingly, we need to create political, economic, religious and educational > institutions in consonance with the spirit of the laws of existential > harmony. Peace & Harmony Education through the ABC of harmony can play very > important role. > The ABC of Harmony leads us towards 4H vision (Tetra vision) of H1: > Harmonic Globalization, H2: Harmonic Society, H3: Holistic Corporate > Management (HCM) and H4: Happy Individuals. This book lies in supporting the > scientific perspective with poetic perspectives. While ontology and > epistemology of harmony is well articulated in the book through scientific > and intuitive approaches. We can develop an action plan to put the ideas into > to practice at institutional, national, global, as well in the individual > level.
