The Man Who Can Change the World Through Education

By Pravin Bhatia

The word education comes from the Latin word educare, which means to draw out information, ideas, and excellence from students.

But most teachers pump information into students, and the results have not been pretty. Many students cant think creatively, and they end up living mediocre lives.

Dr. Ranchhodas Mohota has developed a technique to upgrade the minds of the students, and youll find out what it is and how to use it in this book. It will help you develop the intelligence of students while bolstering their creativity, concentration, and admirable qualities such as positive thinking, courage, and persistence.

More than six million students have been helped by this technique, which is simple to implement and easy to use. The technique incorporates all the parameters of education incorporated in Indias National Curriculum Framework that it adopted in 2005.

The prevalent system of teaching continues to fail, and schools and universities still churn out graduates who are not academically gifted. Give students tools to succeed with the teaching technique in The Man Who Can Change the World Through Education.

Conclusions

Foreword

This book can change the world because it upgrades the minds of human beings. This book can also remove poverty, disease, and most other ills of the world.

This may seem utopian. In many ways, it is. However, there has to be a time when the impossible is achieved.

The book is about an exceptional man with an exceptional idea about how to transform the world. The man, Dr Ranchhodas Mohota, has chosen education to advance his unique teaching technique, which substantially upgrades the minds of the students in school and colleges. This technique makes students wise, intelligent, and creative. It also brings out all the good qualities that human beings require to succeed in life. These include positive thinking, concentration, cooperation, courage, cohesion, persistence, perseverance, and precision.

Dr R. D. Mohota first learnt the true meaning of education in the year 1958. He was aghast that education was imparted by teachers exactly opposite to what its meaning was given in dictionaries. The word education comes from the Latin word ‘educare’, which means draw out information, ideas, and excellence from students. Teachers have been pumping information into students since hundreds of years.

This pumping of information has led to mediocrity because it prevents children from thinking creatively. They are reduced to listening passively in the classroom. Passive listening leads to uncreative minds.

Human beings have used words to insult or confuse others. Words like wisdom, intelligence, creativity, knowledge, information, skills, God, and love have been used to create fear or inefficiency. Their dictionary meanings often have the exact opposite of how these words are used.

However, a word of caution is necessary here. Dictionaries survive if they advance the timidity of human thought. In spite of this flaw, most dictionaries do give us profound and exceptional meanings of words. Readers may have to make choices in order to arrive at the finest possible meaning of words that different dictionaries provide.

Readers will find this exceptional use of meanings of words throughout this book. To help readers, the meanings of words as used are given at the end of the book.

The book also has many Hindi words. These words have many interpretations, some timid and some brave. The meanings of Hindi words as used have also been separately given at the end of this book.

Parents are requested to read this book two or three times, underline words, make notes, if they are to truly understand its godlike significance. They will then be in a position to inspire children to update their minds through education. This could be the difference between their children scoring exceptional or low marks. It could also be the difference between ordinary and exceptional existence.

Dr R. D. Mohota has invented a revolutionary teaching technique that encompasses all the excellence of the above ideas. It is inspired by the extraordinary ability of the human mind. Research has shown that human beings have all the excellent qualities of God. This idea has been repeatedly expressed by the holy scriptures of all religions.

The teaching technique is simple to implement. It is easy to use. It incorporates all the parameters of education brought out by the best educationists of the world. These are also incorporated in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 of India. This is the highest document on education by the government of India. It is unfortunate that teachers have not imparted education as per its grand ideas despite a lapse of eleven years. This has kept India hundreds of years behind the leading countries of the world.

The teaching technique of Dr R. D. Mohota has been demonstrated on six million students so far. It will be demonstrated on fifty million students of India in the next one year and on all the seventeen hundred million students of the world in the next ten years.

The teaching technique of Dr R. D. Mohota is relevant for all subjects from class four to post graduation. The technique has few limitations. It cannot be used on students below class four, and it is limited to classroom teaching.

Beyond these two limitations, the technique can create excellence in every aspect of learning. It can also improve the quality of skill development, the main thrust of India’s Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi because it improves creativity and excellence. These two qualities can be the difference between a cook and a chef and a tailor and a fashion designer. This difference can add two to three zeroes in the incomes of human beings.

The ides of intelligence has been advanced by Dr Mohota since many years. It led to the registration of International Research Institute for Intelligence Development in 1990. In 1993, Dr R. D. Mohota wrote to 175 leading institutions of the world on the idea of improving human intelligence. Out of these, about fifteen institutions acknowledged the letter.

Response to the letter of Dr Mohota may have been less than expected by the 175 institution, but slowly, it led to some exceptional things. The words creativity, intelligence, and wisdom had rarely been used by the world before 1993. These words have now become more prominent in many institutions and media houses.

Every parent wants his child to be intelligent. This is also basic to all forms of education. The problem is that intelligence has not been achieved till now due to lack of ways to improve it. Dr R. D. Mohota’s teaching technique now provides ways to achieve it.

Leading Educational Institute is requested to carry out research on the above technique. They may want to create universities and institutions of creative education with our help. Creative Educators, the registered NGO which promotes and demonstrates the technique of Dr R. D. Mohota, will render all possible help to them.

Chapter 1

The Purpose of Education

What to expect from this book?

This is not a biography of a great man. It is not even a biography. It is a testament to what a great man can achieve with one brilliant idea backed by relentless action.

Dr Ranchhoddas Mohota visualised that the world can change only if the human mind can be upgraded. He understood that the best place to achieve it is in a classroom, since twenty-five per cent of the world’s population is linked with education.

This set him on the path of inventing a teaching technique which can truly create excellence. He started sixty-two years ago. Today, he has achieved a lot in the field of education, though the struggle continues, mainly due to the human fear of change, especially if it improves things.

The total disregard for the human mind by the humanity, especially those who should have accepted the idea with open arms is very frustrating. It is a cause of pain to the great man. Most of his friends and colleagues have gone away, not because he is wrong but because he is grand. Excellence can be very disturbing to those who have become rich without grand ideas. Most of those who left Dr Mohota had a certain amount of disinterest in what the great man had ventured out to do. They are not to be blamed. They are rich and hence, successful, and they do not want to be disturbed.

Dr R. D. Mohota does not want to thrust his ideas on other people about the purpose of education. He just wants his technique to be introduced in schools and colleges. The book is a look into the future at what the technique can truly achieve. Dr R.D. Mohota does not advance most of what has been written in this book. He restricts himself to the technique.

He knows ideas can be like uninvited guests. They can irritate the minds of those who receive them.

Yet the truth has to be said because to ignore it is to ignore all that is worthwhile on earth. Moreover, who knows what a small fraction of those who read and absorb them may take it upon themselves to advance it. The world, after all, has been advanced only by a handful of human beings who wanted nothing more than to bring a great idea to its physical equivalent in the real world.

The First Meeting with the Great Man

In the year 2008, I reached the house of Dr Ranchhoddas Mohota. It was situated in a quiet street on Nelson Square in Nagpur. The sprawling bungalow gave an air of affluence and even grandness, what envious people call it collectively, as the life of a stinking rich man. I was surprised to see a man in very simple clothes, living in a house which, at times, looked sparse and with lots of empty spaces.

I had left the Indian Air Force in 1992 as a Squadron Leader and had devoted myself completely to writing books for the next sixteen years. I had joined as the
