Background
Based on the overwhelming response for its Orientation programmes and Workshops for the various categories of Personnel- Principals and Teachers of Schools and Colleges, Corporates, I.A.S, I.P.S and other officers, the Sai International Centre has observed that there is a need to spread the message worldwide. In its endeavour to expand its services to the wider society the Centre now offers an Online Course on Human Values.
About the Programme
The programme intends to examine human development from all aspects: Spiritual, Cognitive, Emotional and Physical. The course material is anchored on the firm basis of Truth (Satya), Non-Violence (Ahimsa), Love (Prema), Righteous Conduct (Dharma) and Peace (Shanti). The study will provide an excellent opportunity to consider what a human being really is, what human nature is, perspectives from different religions and how we develop into spiritual beings, conscious of our responsibility towards an ever advancing civilization.
Duration of each course is three-four months. The Course is offered free of charge. Currently, it is available only in English. A certificate will be issued on successful completion of the Programme. There are no last dates for enrolment. You can enroll yourself at any time of the year.
