About Infant Siddha Program(ISP)

The Infant SSY Program is a byproduct of the Siddha Samadhi Yoga(SSY) program. Guru Rishi Prabhakar is the founder of SSY and Infant SSY program. Further, it is enhanced by Raviji n Manoj lekhji.

This program is helpful for anyone from conceiving to having an 8yrs child. For those who are planning, this knowledge helps you to have a child not by chance but by choice.

Infant SSY is nothing but to know the Joy of PARENTING. Before I start telling what is taught in ISP, you need to know few things like what do you understand by parenting? Is it an art or science? (Try to answer them. It helps you to understand in a better way)

Now, to be brief :

Parenting is nothing but bringing up the child.

Art is something, which we describe as an expression of oneself. Any action is defined as art like dancing, painting, sweeping, talking, driving etc. It goes on as an expression which cannot be repaeted. For example, you cook daily but everyday its a new experience, a new taste. And, it's same with other things too.

Science is something which is repeated over and over again to produce similar results.

Now, why did I ask parenting is art or science? The endeavour of ISP is to make it repeatable, by generating similar experiences or responses in specific environment and making it a science. Now, one may argue that handling a child means everytime it will be a different experience. And, one formula works for sometime and suddenly backfires and the child does not respond, as he had in earlier situation when it worked beautifully.

The ISP provide various angles and aspects of handling children and definitely something works. From this one may conclude that parenting is an ART as you handle child differently everytime. You have to be flowing in creativity and spontaneity to change when the tried and tested formula doesn't work. All this disciplines the child naturally, without any force, shouting, without adopting carrot and stick policy.

Now, we can call parenting as science too. May not be wholly, but in some measures definitely. Art has got limitations, but science is always evolving.
Hence, parenting is not science or art but a KNACK. The knack is to tune with the child to such a degree that the very thought, expression look is perceived by the parent, so that parent can verbalise the feelings.

Nenu idanta enduku cheppanu? Okkasari aalochinchandi. Think once, who enjoys the child more? Parents or GrandParents? Answer is, Grandparents. Now that they have time and realised what they missed out, from the joy in bringing you up. So, do we need to wait for 20 years to enjoy your grand children or now?
