We offer a wide range of high quality of teaching and extra-curricular activities.
We offer a range of training packages in a range of subject areas and can offer blended learning opportunities to best meet your needs. If sitting in a room with a trainer and having the opportunity for discussion with other learners sounds good to you then we can offer this. If you have enough people wanting to attend the same course. If you prefer to study in your own time and at your own speed then one of our e-learning packages may be right up your street. There is a third option, which is you like the sound of both but perhaps can’t attend all training sessions, this is when blended learning comes into its own.
A Sattvic mind lends itself to clear, calm, creative thinning and allows us to create solutions. A sattvic diet consists of food that gives life, strength and energy to the individual.

A Sattvic diet consists of food that gives life, strength and energy to the individual. The Bhagavad Gita describes the Sattvic foods as promoting life, virtue, strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. It also says that Sattvic foods are savory, smooth, firm and pleasant to the stomach.Organic foods are therefore recommended for both their purity and vitality. Food should be fresh and freshly prepared. Also the way Sattvic food is prepared is also important, which means the persons state of mind when making the food should be positive and the food is best prepared with a state of love and awareness.
One must work incessantly and, in the process, give up all mental attachment like attachment to eating non veg food. It is possible to perform your duties in this manner only when you have a basic understanding of who you are, why you have come here, and what is to be attained. Knowledge and action are very closely linked. A man acts according to his knowledge. With knowledge as a base, when you perform your duties in the right manner, your mind becomes purified and the knowledge of the Self, or God, can then be preserved in the mind. When this knowledge ripens, love of God blossoms.

Many cooking ingredients like pungent spices, appetizers, pickles etc. lack any nutritive value and are
manifestly harmful for health; and so are the processes of frying, stewing etc. These render even healthy

outside; e.g. liquor and intoxicants of various kinds, tobacco, zarda, gutka and so many other such
things have acquired the status food supplements and are used in a routine way.
