My Studies in Australia - Why I Write about Resolving Conflicts - Philselfological Approach - Learning to Live as Be Prepared Contributor - 5
How to Defend Peace and Resolve Conflicts among Ancient, Modern and the Contemporary Civilizations has all of the posts and the articles are based on my discussions with the Head, Department of Philosophy at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, Prof. Gill who replaced Prof. John as the Head in 1990. It also includes the discussions with other professors of Philosophy and Logic.
The richness that I received in this discussion and such articles also includes the discussions with Prof. Simpson from Physics, Human and Society, a subject that I studied in the First Year of B.Sc. (Math). Prof. Paul Davies, who is one of the most renowned writer and lecture in the Physics and Science in general was the Head, Department of Mathematics Science. His lectures also influenced me a lot.
During my discussion about why the Philosophers and Thinkers have been ignored in our modern world, Prof. Gill said wisely that it is a mistake to ignore and that I need to write at least 15 books to prove that Philosophy is a Bridge between Science and Religion. Even then it would not be approved easily, he said in 1990 as my professor of Philosophy.
My father also played a significant role in my works and writing.
My Father as One of the Living Legend of India as Arjuna Award Winner Sportsman - My Sisters also Excelled
I have written more than 50 books about role of philosophers and thinkers in our modern society as well its impact in great Civilizations in which great people like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle lived. This also includes what my father Prof. Harnek Singh has studied in Philosophy, Psychology, Divinity and so many other subjects in which he has great insight due to his in-depth studies.
He is an Arjuna Award Winner Sportsman of India, the Living Legend who has been the best Player of Volleyball of Asia (Asian Champion) and Decathlon Champion of India. He has retired from Government College of Physical Education, Patiala in 1994. Along with my elder sister, I live with him and my mother. My elder sister Jasvir Kaur has done B.A. in Classical Music and Dance, and M.A. in Classical Music. She is a very good singer and dancer in the Indian Classical's.
I must add that I sincerely started to listen to him and the books he recommended that includes Yoga as well. The first ever book that I read was well elaborated about What is Philosophy, but my interest was to bring Philosophy as practical in life rather than just making it knowledge. For this reason I decided in 1986 to give a new name to it as to blend Philosophy with Science, Religion and other branches of human knowledge and wisdom. So, the name was Philselfology. It was great opportunity to materialize this thought in the University of Adelaide.
Thus, my father, sisters and others have a great role and impact on my life.
How I Became First Scout Master in Punjab State as if East Meets West
After coming back to India in 1991, I continued these studies and thus is what I write and speak, delivering lectures. Let us start with and from Indian perspective. When we say Indian, its Indian Civilization not just a nation that we know as India (also Bharat or Hindustan). Whatever we share and discuss needs some sound grounds.
And thus I also learned Yoga and Meditation (without really knowing all about it when I was studying in Class of Grade 3, and won the Third Position in the State Level Championship), yes I learned all from my elder sister Kuldeep Kaur, who is C.P.Ed., B.P.ED, M.A. in Dramatic Arts and Media (Television in particular by then), B.Ed in Yoga from Punjab (Panjab) University, Chandigarh (a 2 years intensive course by then when she finished it).
She remained State Yoga Champion and as well as Third in the National Yoga Championship. Later I studied more in got MD in Naturopathy and Yoga and also PhD in the same for Multiple Counseling named Philselfology that I use in my practice of Multiple Counseling here in Patiala at my home. Its focuses on the role of Comparative Research Studies.
The other person did the similar is my younger sister who is M.A. in Music and P.G. Diploma in Sanskrit (University Gold medalist in both). She has won many prizes in Music, Folk Arts and some others at State to National Level Youth Festivals held by and for the colleges and the universities. She has also been State Champion in Yoga Champion many times, and participant in the National Yoga Championship.
Australian radio broadcasted a program named Music in the House of Milk based on our family life style in which we also have had dairy farm with cows, buffaloes along with some other pets from mid 70 to mid 2010's.
All of it has an impact on my works but English is my Third Language, the Punjabi being the First and the Hindi as the Second Language, and even though I studied ESL from Muirden Colleges (Muirden High and Senior Secondary Schools) at Adelaide in South Australia in 1989.
I feel proud of being the first scout master in the Punjab state allowed to get the training and the certification. Thus, the other main point has been that I became the first Certified Basic Scout Master from non-government school, and conducted scouting camps with my students winning Governor and President's Awards.
It helped me to write books on scouting and serving society as a Scout Master.
Thanks for your time to read.

This is a great story. I would like to make one comment to assist. Both article headlines and section titles should need to be punchier and attention seeking. They should make the reader want to read on, not give a summary of what follows.
