Now we can see that…
Happiness is an indicator, a feedback, that we
- have understood harmony and
- live in harmony
Unhappiness is an indicator, a feedback, that we
- have not understood harmony and/or
- do not live in harmony
Our role is to make the effort
- to understand harmony and
- to live in harmony
This is our role in existence …
at all 4 levels of our being
at one or more of the 4 levels

32
Program for Human Being (Our Role in Existence)
Existence is co-existence – which is ever present
Human beings have two important things to do:
1. To understand the co-existence
1.1. To understand co-existence – Right Understanding (Kku)
1.2. To ensure the feeling, thought of co-existence –
Resolution (lek/kku)
2. To live in co-existence
2.1. To live in co-existence with human-beings (Justice)
–family to world family – Undivided Society
(v[k.M lekt)
2.2. To live in co-existence in nature (Mutual fulfillment)
–family order to world family order – Universal Human Order
(lkoZHkkSe O;oLFkk)
By these two being ensured by human beings, the result will be Undivided Society and Universal Human Order on Earth, in which Harmony and peace are very natural outcomes (and there is every provision in Existence for it)

Transition to Universal Human Education
Step 1: Introduce a foundation course on Universal Human Values in parallel with other courses with a view to initiate the process of self-exploration, leading to right understanding (gyan). i.e. introduce right understanding and right feeling in the academic curriculum. Higher level courses may be offered in addition to the foundation course. Social projects, social internship and conducting the course as an integrated workshop may take place wherever the teacher is well prepared. This will ensure better grasping and comprehension by the students
1. Prepare Teachers, Parents and Policy makers
2. Introduce Universal Human Values in Higher Education. The student can develop clarity about
Human goal & universal human order
Human conduct
Guidelines for Professional Ethics, which is a particular aspect of human conduct
Step 2: Align the academic curriculum (all courses) in the institution with right understanding, leading to thought about all encompassing resolution (samadhan), so as to establish Value Based Education at the level of the institution
Step 3: The lifestyle and institute culture reflects Value Based Living. i.e. on the basis of right understanding and right feeling, behavior, work
63
Transition to Universal Human Education
Step 4: The institute develops into a live model of living with happiness and
prosperity, i.e. on the basis of right understanding and right feeling, behavior,
work and participation in the institution order. Programs for self-sufficiency of
the institution through cyclic & mutually enriching production activities and
take such activities to a scale where all the faculty, staff and students can be
supported internally. This will help transform the institution into a family
participating with self-responsibility for a cohesive harmonious journey toward
excellence for all
Step 5: The institute becomes a nodal center to share and promote value
education and value based living in the local community. Institution works on
all 5 dimensions
Step 6: The institute becomes a resource centre for the district level. The
Institution works in collaboration with other institutions for all 5 dimensions
Step 7: The institute becomes a resource centre for the National level.
Step 8: The institute becomes a resource centre for Undivided Human Society
and Universal Human Order
64
Initial Steps in Implementation
1. Understand the Content, Possibility & Responsibility – Participate in workshops, discuss with people who have worked toward universal human values [VC, Heads of Institution…]
2. Form a Value Education Cell at the University level, consisting of committed decision-makers & people who will take responsibilty & can follow things through [VC]
3. Create Awareness & Support [University VE Cell]
4. Complete the formalities for introducing the Foundation Course [University VE Cell]
5. Select & Prepare Teachers [Heads of Institution]
6. Communicate with the Students [College VE Cell]
7. Launch the Foundation Course [University VE Cell]
65
Further Activities
The foundation course has to be followed up with other suitable inputs in the form of elective courses, projects, practical training, self study and practice to move towards a comprehensive EHV package
It takes some time (typically 1-3 years) to establish the foundation. Once it is established, then further supportive activity can be fruitful
1. Social Projects & Socially Relevant Final Year Projects
2. Social Internship
3. Higher Level Courses e.g. "Professional Ethics for Managers"
4. Advanced Study (PhD etc.) e.g. "Management by Relationship"
5. Living the Values in all the dimensions
66
Human Values Programme introduced at IIIT Hyderabad in 2005
Goal of IIIT: To contribute to transforming industry and society, by delivering research-led education, promoting innovation, and fostering human values
Human Values is as an essential part of the academic curriculum. The two courses are HV1 in 1st sem & HV2 in 4th sem
Each week consists of 2 lectures of 1.5 hrs each
Students do socially relevant humanities projects, detailed studies, reports or participate in social activities as a part of this course
Students meet every week in small groups along with 2 faculty mentors
At the end of the course a 4-day workshop is conducted. Faculty, faculty spouses and senior students take the responsibility for conducting it
Advanced courses include “Work & Life” & “Searching for a Humane Society”
Medium of instruction is students‟ mother tongue/language preferred by the student (e.g. in 2010 six workshops were run in parallel – 1 in Telugu, 2 in Hindi and 3 in English)
67
Human Values Programme at UPTU (GBTU & MTU)
Introduced as an essential course in all affiliated professional colleges,
after due process (AC, BoS) in 2009
Run as a regular audit course (2-0-2), i.e. 28 lecture-sessions and 14
tutorials (practice-sessions) spread across any one semester

The role of the teacher is that of a
facilitator – to facilitate the student
to explore on their own right so that
it leads to understanding
With this intention the teacher‟s role
is:
1. To place the proposals of what
is right before the students
2. To draw their attention toward
each proposal and to give
enough time & opportunity to
explore, verify, accept, validate
on their own right
3. To respond with responsibility to
the questions, or clarifications
sought by the students in this
process
The responsibility of
understanding is that of the
students. It includes:
1. Listening, Participating
Actively (Listening vs
Hearing, Asking questions)
2. Verifying the proposals on
the basis of their Natural
Acceptance
3. Accepting those proposals
that are Naturally Acceptable
4. Validating the accepted
proposals in their own
Behaviour/Work; and
understanding on this basis

This is a significant hapenning in your life
Don‟t try to explain to other in your excitement. Let it settle within you,
so it naturally expresses itself in your behaviour / work
Deal with the baggage – you may act on the basis of it. Don‟t get
worked-up. Depending on external conditions, those Desires,
Thoughts & Expectations may get more active & you may forget about
this
It is advisable to:
1. Go through a workshop once in 6 months (5% listening in 1st
workshop + lot of questions) – so scope for 20 workshops
2. Go through the literature (incl video of lectures & text book)
3. Meet once in a week for 2-3 hrs (sharing, discussing one topic)
