ABOUT SATKAMA SCHOOL
SATKĀMA means “Be Truthful”. We have to be truthful to our true nature which is essentially rooted in Divinity. SATKĀMA is a school for integrative development. Every individual integrates with his surroundings or society based on values he has learned over a period of life. If the values inculcated are universal in nature, the individual will live in his surroundings with a feeling of integration and mutual dependence rather than separation and independence. We are individuals, yet we are one with the many and not one amongst the many. The universal values of cooperation, sharing, service, sacrifice, fraternity, love, compassion etc, essentially have to be imbibed to live in harmony and peace with a feeling of integration that encompasses the well-being of all of humanity. SATKĀMA is a normal academic school with a difference. SATKĀMA seeks to provide such an atmosphere where it will be natural for the children to learn and grow being truthful to their true nature which is Divine even as it provides excellent academic education. SATKĀMA is committed to such Divine Resource Development.

10 COMMANDMENTS
A Human being is capable of looking at the same matter from different angles as against the less evolved species. It can react to situations from different perspectives and thus can have different attitudes to the same situation. It is a matter of scientific truth that men can alter their lives by altering their mental attitudes. Attitude is not merely a way of thinking but also a way of feeling and willing. A change in the attitude of any person means a change in his way of thinking, feeling and willing. The attitudinal changes that are advised in spiritual life relate to the physical, vital and mental planes of existence. The Commandments of Sri Ramchandra, the great Master are related to the changes in the attitudes of the aspirant in Yoga at various levels.
