1. The journey from being a seeker to becoming a disciple
A. Having the quality of selflessness and the attitude of sacrifice, which are essential for spiritual practice: Sadguru Vaidyacharya (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale started noting down higher level philosophical thoughts on Spirituality in 1980. He toiled day and night to create a vast treasure of knowledge on Spirituality. Very altruistically, He donated this treasure to Sanatan Sanstha (to become Sanatan's Texts) in 1990, soon after the Sanstha was established. This sacrifice, before He became a Saint indicates the level of His spiritual practice & seekership. Due to His writings, Sanatan's Texts are now becoming inclusive in the true sense.

B. In 2004, He became Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale's disciple (A great Saint who is also His younger brother and is the Founder of Sanatan Sanstha, the world-renowned spiritual organisation).

Preface

Your child is developing continuously. His mind and intellect are slowly maturing. Everyone's life begins as a single cell (fertilised egg). This fertilised egg divides and becomes two cells. This process continues that is two to four, four to eight etc. till in the grown human there are approximately 100,000 billion cells. In living beings 'Growth & Development' is a natural process. This growth is affected by heredity, hormones, environment and disease. This Text of Sanatan as well as the Text, 'Develop the child's intellect and mind' will be helpful in guiding you in paying attention to whether the child's development is in appropriate manner or not.

The constitution of each child is different from the other. Some children are lean while others are fat. Some are short while some are tall. Some eat to live while some live to eat. Reading this Text will help in knowing the child's personality and help us in making him stronger accordingly.

Man is more intelligent than all the other creatures. His brain directly or indirectly controls his behaviour, movement and activity. So practically the development of the child is evaluated by the maturity of the child's brain and nervous system.
