Talks by Anand Mandaiker in November 2011
Organised by WALDORF STEINER EDUCATION ASSOCIATION OF SINGAPORE
Two Interesting Talks by Anand Mandaiker in November 2011:
1. The Spirituality of the Child –Friday, Nov 11, 6.30pm to 9.30pm
2. Three Symbols of Michael – Monday, Nov 28, 6.30pm to 9.30pm
Brief Outline of “The Spirituality of the Child”:
The different stages of childhood, as described by Rudolf Steiner, are
the pillars on which waldorf education is based. The faculties of the
child differ during the different stages. Because of this, the child,
at each stage, relates differently to the world around us and to the
spiritual world. For those accompanying the journey of the child it is
important to be aware of this fact. Not surprisingly, we find the
different stages of childhood also mentioned in olden day scriptures.
Brief Outline of “The Three Symbols of Michael”:
Each epoch in history has a certain quality and connected with this
quality a task for mankind. Just like an angel accompanies the journey
of individual human beings, archangels accompany mankind during
periods of time. Michael is the archangel of our times. To understand
the quality of Michael and our task during his reign, it may be
helpful to look at how he has been depicted in art through the
centuries. The sword or lance, the scales and the globe with the cross
are three symbols that were used to depict the specific quality of
Michael.

Wind Powered Art
Beautiful art can inspire a person to see life in a totally new way. Theo Jansen is the Dutch creator of what he calls "Kinetic Sculptures," where nature and technology meet. Essentially these sculptures are robots powered only by the wind.
Amazingly, these machines are made completely of recycled items. The 'stomach' of the sculpture is made with retired plastic bottles that capture the air pumped by the wind. To harness the wind, Jansen employs bicycle pumps, plastic tubing and rubber rings! Witness beauty through ingenuity :)

To Earth With Love (Part 2) - Our Earth Story
Once upon a time, Earth was a very happy Earth. She sings and dances to her friends the sun, the moon, the forest, the oceans, the animals and insects and all living beings. Everyone is very happy and in harmony.
One day, Earth stops to sing and dance. She becomes silent. Sometimes, she cries out very hard and sometimes she trembles. When this happens, her animal friends and people friends feel afraid.
One day, a little child comes and speaks to Earth. ‘My dear Earth, what happened to you?’ Earth says in a sad voice ‘Do you really want to know, my little friend?’ The little child nodded. So Earth explained ’My little friend, many people do not love and take care of me anymore. They cut down the trees; they throw rubbish everywhere and litter the ocean, and harm my animal friends. I have told the people many times to stop doing that but no one is putting on their listening ears. It hurts me so sometimes I cry very hard and trembles which in turn harm my friends and people. I feel really sad about it. With tears rolling down Earth’s cheek, Earth asks. ’My little friend, will you please help me?
The little child nodded. She gathers her little friends, little children like you and they start to help Earth. They pick up litters, sort out the papers, plastics, cans and bottles and put them into the right bins for recycling, they draw on both sides of the paper, they turn off the tap while brushing their teeth, they walk or ride on their bicycle to go to places nearby, they take care of the flowers and plants in the garden, and plant many trees.
Hoping that one day Earth will be happy again. Will you be Earth’s little friend and help Earth to be happy again?
