Interview with Bhashkar Perinchery, Chicago 2006

In simple, challenging and heartwarming ways Bhashkar conveys the rare and precious gift teaching can be.
In our modern society we are almost exclusively focused on transmitting information.
This utilitarian approach however is one sided and creates an unbalanced and restless child. As a reaction teachers feel helpless with this situation and begin forcing, punishing and labeling the child.
Bhashkar offers visions and unique perspectives how to approach the child from our heart with sympathy and understanding.
He challenges teachers to be courageously honest with themselves and to attain the capacity to see the child's innocence and uniqueness. Ordinarily the teacher's personal reactions are often not recognized as such and placed on the child which imparts a lasting inner pain.
But as we learn to be in contact with ourselves and the present moment we can encourage the child to attain this same quality. This creates a quality of spontaneity and true balance in the child's life.
With this approach teaching becomes a sharing of love.

We can help each other to see, to sympathetically and openly consider and understand. It then becomes a healthy development. Something of great beauty and great value for all involved then begins to arise…
