Caitanyachandra 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2001 http://www.bhajankutir.net/tol.html As anyone secured an admission into the Tol? If not, then for others I think that there should be an alternative educational source similar to the Tol he is creating. Everyone should be allowed to enter it. After all the educational system is shifting to a infrastructure-less system of computer educated civilized citizins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ananga 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2001 FYI: The tol system has all but vanished in India. That is unfortunate. If it can be revived, if even only online, then that would be a great preservation effort and a continuation of the traditional system of education based on shastra. Heaven knows the public school system in the West has been pretty much a failure academically and is now entering an even worse phase of degeneration with school shootings on top of drugs and gangs. The idea of the website is to take the best of both worlds: What the old tol system has to offer and what the modern system can bring to the table. If anyone is interested in the frontiers of science and its interface w/religion, then pick up a copy of Evan Harris Walker's "The Physics of Consciousness". Some of the mathematical equations might be tough to follow for most, but it is worth the effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nine9 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2002 Are there any more instances of distance and/or on-line teaching under the 'tol' system in existence? I am very interested in this way of teaching Sanskrit and the Vedic arts, and am eager to hear of any. -Rama Kesava Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
