Conquering the Heavens and into Deep Space

It all started during their high school days around 8 years ago. Sriharsha Sheshanarayan (left), Abhijith Janardhan (right) and Arvind Shreyas (below) were possessed. Rather, they were star-struck and space-struck. They wanted to explore the heavens above through the telescopes they were making and the stratosphere with the Aeroplanes they were learning to design and the outer fringes of deep space with the spacecrafts they were going to conceive of in the near future. To this end they began to build up their background with great passion and intensity.

They gathered diverse materials and constructed instruments to explore Astronomical objects. They built rockets of several types and they began to learn advanced topics of their interest. And they went in search of people who could guide them and resources they could tap into. It was then that they came across CFRCE. Abhijith Janardhan had been meeting Prof. Dr. Ramachandra in a series of talks and been enraptured by his novel method of teaching. This planted a seed in him that was to yield a great harvest in future. A few months later, Abhijith was in search. He wanted to meet the Physicist and explore possibilities of learning more. With characteristic zeal he tracked him down and asked about being mentored by him at the  "Centre for Fundamental Research and Creative Education." Dr. Ram readily agreed, impressed as he was with Abhijith's keen inquisitiveness and inquiring attitude. He asked Abhijith to join a program, "Discovering Einstein," held at the Centre. Abhijith could hardly contain his excitement. His enthusiasm percolated to his friends, Sriharsha, Shreyas B P, Arivand Shreyas, Prithvishree Ravindra and Nikhila Karanth who also approached the Centre. Soon, these bright young students were discovering learning. The topics ranged from Physics and Chemistry to Biology, Mathematics, Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space. It was an enthralling period for them and soon, they were filled with a sense of great purpose, nothing less than the actualization of their deepest potential and for the good of the Nation and the world. They were some of the first to explore the powerful CFRCE methodology of Neuro-Cognitive Mentoring by means of which they became independent of all teachers, for life. Simultaneously, their personal development shot up as they made plans for their future. Mutually reinforced by each other, they chose fields that would give them the highest fulfillment and the best opportunity to contribute back to society.

Today, all the six have accomplished and distinguished themselves at the highest levels of excellence in their chosen fields. Sriharsha, Abhijith and Arvind Shreyas are among the select group of students pursuing Aerospace studies at the University of Toulouse, France. Prithvishree and Nikhila have completed their MBBS degrees and are on their way to become established Doctors of Medicine. Shreyas B P after completing his Bachelor's degree in Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, is on his way to greater heights of learning....and the journey goes on...
