My name is Varkey. I have been in the field of education for more than 45 years. I was coming from a very poor background. So I didn't have opportunity study in a good school it was my dream to study in English medium school. So, when I was studying, I decided to create English medium schools because it has got different syllabus and also better educational possibilities. So, that was my dream. I must have started about eight to ten English medium schools in different parts of India. I was trained as a priest also. I was 14 years trained as a priest. I left that one for the sake of educating. I'm the first person to start the ICSE schools in this area that is Chikkaballapura and Kolar districts. It is one of the best schools. It is the most sought after school in the sense the best school in this area, in all of Karnataka. Hi beautiful girl! Hi! What’s your name? My name is Kalpita. I've been looking for an exercise that will make children's body and mind fit and strong and powerful. I had in 1992 a dream I have seen in my dream thousands of people doing some kind of exercises. since I did not know what this exercise was I thought it must be yoga. So in 1993, I started getting yoga masters and teaching children yoga for one or two years. And meanwhile I heard about some practitioners are practicing in Bangalore and that is in the name of Mrs. Chitra. And she was the one who introduced Falun Dafa in Karnataka. So then I tried to get her. One of his school teacher came to another school where I was introducing the Fa. And she learned the exercise and she went in and told Father "I have met that lady, I can bring her." Are you happy to see us? Yes Ma’am. In the morning? Yes Ma’am. Yeah? And then he told his experience about how he had seen this exercise. But it doesn't look like yoga. And then he kept trying. Everyday we do the exercises. Yes Ma’am. Then what do you find the difference? I will be strong and be healthy, Ma’am. Oh wow. He was expecting a lot of money to get me to the school but he didn't have to pay any money. She told me she would come after one week. No, I said "I've been waiting for years. I can't wait anymore." I wanted to see the practice. So I took her immediately to one of the classrooms and called the senior students. And she showed the exercise to us. I realized this was the exercise I saw in dream. And since then every week I came and one class by class we taught them the exercises also talked about how you can follow these principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. Because this is only so important. And when you see the little kids how beautifully, today, when I had this experience the little kids telling from their heart I just told them to be kind is good. Or just to be like, you know bashing each other or hitting each other? "No, no, no, it's so nice to be kind." I said "Why do you feel it’s so nice to be kind?" "Because we feel good inside." And they are just very little kids. And when they can understand this I'm sure that really encourages me to come. It's 2008, we started practicing. And now it went on every day without fail. Every morning the children gather to hold the assembly (this is) how the exercises done. And the afternoon they read the Zhuan Falun. And we found that a lot of changes taking place in the attitude of children. And the other thing is no one becomes a failure from the school. Everyone goes out from here are successful and they are spread all over the world now. My name is Alweena and I'm a lawyer. I just graduated in 2022 completing my LLB from Christ University, Bangalore. And I joined this school when, in the year 2002 when I was two years old and I've been practicing Dafa since I'm five. So, I realized this positive energy has made me a sports person. I'm a dancer I'm a choreographer. And probably this has helped me a lot since I was five to carry on the positive energy and spread the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance outside also. As I walked out as a student and joined my university I came across people from different cultures people coming from abroad to study over there. So compared to them, I felt like I was I developed a positive aura around me and I was protected at every possible circumstance away from drugs, away from alcohol away from cigarettes, tobacco. Not even a single instance in my life or a circumstance has led me to it because I'm a practitioner. People saw I'm giving very good training to the children. Master's teaching is very relevant in this place and no parents are object to this practice though there are different religions are there Muslims are there, Hindus are there they say Falun Dafa is good that they will say This is not a religious practice. It's a divine practice. Because one after the another school they used to feel good when the Falun Dafa practitioners are coming to their school. And they would say, you know "Why don't you come, Ma'am? Every time when you come there's so much energy." So I started traveling to different schools. They were sometimes 80 kilometers sometimes 100 kilometers. So we had to take, you know, the buses most of the buses are very crowded. And we went to the schools, the government schools and you know, where they don't have anything to show the children. I felt it was so necessary, you know to show the children master's video exercises. Because when will they get the chance? They don't have internet facilities they are countryside schools at least once if they see Master doing the exercises it's so good. So I travel with my projector with my computer. And at times, I didn't find even space to sit in the bus. It was like, you know, inside, I'm feeling very good. How are you, Sir? Nice to see you! My name is Pradeep Kumar. I'm an Education Officer. Presently, I'm working as a headmaster in Government High School, Arabikothanur Kolar district, Karnataka state, India. I have been working in this school for the past seven years. So here the people usually come from the rural side financially backward. And they have problems in paying the fees and all but we don't take any fees from any students here. No money, free education here. Once I came to know about Falun Dafa in 2005 it has touched my heart because the people came all the way from Sri Lanka and Bangalore they came to teach us in 2005. I have introduced Falun Dafa to these students when I entered the school in 2016 because to the students these three things are very important to how they're learning effective(ly) and to achieve something in their life with morality and came to know about what is good, what is bad. Shall we all exercise now? Falun Dafa exercises? they used to come to school late or they used not to do some homework and all. But when we speak you should be truthful you should be compassionate and you should be honest and be patient so these three things reflect again and again to them. When you do good, good will return back to you. Just a simple message you take today. Just today, you take one good word and go home. Follow this principle. What do you do? If anyone is really scolding you, shouting you, or anything you just calm calm down, don't say a word. You see, today only you start to see the difference. Small small steps, okay? They respect whatever the things we tell them. So, so many behavioral changes, we noticed with them. They want to do the exercise and they want the Fa with them. and also they look inwards coming to school regularly and obeying to headmaster and these teachers and not wasting the food and not throwing the papers here and there and keeping everything clean. Before 2005 I was just an ordinary person. Ordinary means, I had lots of confusions. I wanted to do some spiritual things or some good things, but it was confusing me what to follow, what not, what is good, what is bad. But in the year 2005 So, soon after Master's Fa came towards me one person came to our house. So he wanted more marks to his students in the examination. He used to give some 20,000 rupees in the year 2006 or 2007 something. Immediately I called Chitra Madam she said, "We don't take money." He said, "So you're doing Falun Dafa activities and all. That money you can use for printing more brochures and all." Then Madam said, "No, no, no, we should not take money from others." Then immediately I said, "We don't take." Whatever the rulesand regulation we do our duty. And so, if it is ours, it comes to us, if it is yours, it will come to you, and we should not take others' money. This is our staff room. I'm the headmaster. We have ten teaching staff and four non-teaching staff. Midday meals cook are there and office staff is there. Instead of ordering them I listen to them and I share (with) them. And moreover I don't tell them to come early to the school or be in the school late. I try to be an example, means, I will come first as the headmaster and as the head of the institution I have to be here until the end. So that is indirectly, they will be observing me. The people recognize me here. And the people also, they liked me very much. And after that the teachers identify me as a practitioner. "So he's a Falun Dafa practitioner." "So you just teach us the exercise when you will be free, and we will come." Questions? We just talk about the principles Truth, Compassion, Forbearance how to leave the attachments how to go to higher level. Fa contains everything sciences is there math is there, philosophy is there and our human life is there. So, that is making us to understand the life and the surroundings and everything in deeper, deeper understanding. So, Master is creating each one of us a divine being. I used to simplify to them, explain to them and also had given a dream about that what we call the spiritual dream. That man one day will become virtuous very powerful. And... his eyes will be able to see the whole universe and his power will increase and that requires an exercise. And that is what this exercise is. It increases your brain power and also your virtuous human power. Any kind of problems and difficulties that come across we can survive with our effort. And we live a good life, in the sense a life that makes cares for others and we don't expect anything from others. Life becomes quite different for you. No more it's going to be a life of a simple human being's but a powerful human being's and is spreading a message of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.
