Kiwi kids very spiritual - not to be confused with religion... Read more]]> The new deputy principal of Nga Tawa Diocesan School for Girls thinks New Zealand children are very spiritual beings. He said, for instance, New Zealand children were very in tune with their environment.
"And this is not to be confused with religion, this is not about religion."

After studying in India Kannan came to Rotorua in 1986 and worked at John Paul College in Rotorua, where he later became deputy principal. He has spent the last 18 months at Verdon College in Invercargill.

He is a former military man, with a masters degree in chemistry and the author of a doctorate on the development of spiritual intelligence in New Zealand students.

Kannan has written three books on the subject which are with an American publisher for wider publication.

He says his books were also not to be confused with the populist spiritual self-help kind of books which have flooded the market over the past 20 years.
