I have been trying to understand this word because I find it referenced a lot in my readings. I keep finding descriptions like 'unexpressed' or 'unmanifest'. Does this mean that the word avyaktha…Continue

Cristen Brown-Rodgers replied to shree c k p swamiji's discussion how important moral teaching in school"Studies in the continuity of history, world religions, the humanities, psychology, and philosophy would give students all of these 'morals' without forcing governments and school systems to define 'morals' for the people."
Cristen Brown-Rodgers replied to shree c k p swamiji's discussion how important moral teaching in school"Hi! In my opinion, until we can come to a universal agreement on what 'moral' is, teaching it in the classroom cannot be beneficial. Too many people will fight about what should or should not be taught. That's why we…"
