11. PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF VIVEKANANDA’S PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE God resides in every human heart. The best worship of God is service to mankind. Ethics and morality should be the real basis of life. Love and renunciation should permeate the universe. Religion means self -realization through self control. All religions lead to same goal. There should be harmony among all religions. The ‘ self ’ should see ‘ self ’ in all creatures.

12. EDUCATIONAL THOUGHTS OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 1. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION :- All knowledge is in the human mind. Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man. Knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside. Like fire in a piece of flint, knowledge exists in the mind. Man discover it. The infinite library of the universe is in our mind.

13. 2. MEANING OF EDUCATION :- According to Swamiji , Education is the manifestation of divinity already existing in man. Education is not the imparting of facts. “ If Education were identical with information, the libraries would be the greatest sages in the world.” According to him, Education helps the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life which bring out strength of character , a spirit of philanthropy and the courage of a lion.

14. 3. AIMS OF EDUCATION-

15. a) Self- development- Swami Vivekananda advocated education for self-development. He said, “ By education I do not mean the present system, but something in the line of positive teaching. We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one’s own feet. b) Fulfillment of Swadharma – Swami Vivekananda accepted the idea of Swadharma in education. Everyone has to grow like himself/herself. No one has to copy others. It is hence that he condemned the imposition of foreign education.

16. c) Freedom of Growth- Vivekananda is against any type of external pressure upon the child. He is a staunch champion of freedom in education. Freedom is the first requirement for self-development. The child should be given freedom to grow according to his nature. d) Character Development – Man making Education implies that Education which builds character. He states , “ We want that Education , by which character is formed , strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.”

17. e) To create Faith in One’s Own Self- Swami Vivekananda believes that faith in one’s own self must be created through education. He regards faith in one’s own self as the first step towards advancement. Education must teach that a man can do everything if he has courage. f) Education for the development of spirit of social service in man – He was deeply moved at the utter poverty and backwardness of the masses. He said, “ Man making Education must inculcate the spirit of selfless service. ”

18. h) To create Self-confidence and Self-reliance: Swami Vivekananda regrets that the existing education in India produces a broken-down young man who lacks in Sraddha or faith.The Shraddha which is the key- note of the veda and the vedanta must be created in man. It is this faith which moves the world. i) Emphasis on Practical Side of Life: By the practical side of life or by material prosperity Swami Vivekananda does not mean that one should be striving to amass wealth. All that he means is that everyone must be able to get his primary needs satisfied. Education must give this ability to everyone.

19. j) To Promote Universal Brotherhood: To Swami Vivekananda, education must promote the spirit of self-reliance and universal brotherhood. Education must ultimately teach man that the Atman (soul) is the same in all- from the ant to the perfect man, the difference being only in its manifestation. k) To Develop Will to Realize the Divinity Within: To Swami Vivekananda book-learning is no education. To him, ‘the training by which the current and expression of will are brought under control and become fruitful is education.’ it is education which develops the will and enables one to realise the divinity latent in him.

20. l) To make Conscious to Achieve Perfection: According to the Vedanta, the greatest error is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you do not possess power and you cannot do this or that. According to Swami Vivekananda, the teacher must not dishearten the pupil, he must not scold him for his errors, he must make him conscious of his inner powers. m) To Develop Spirit of Renunciation: Education must generate the spirit of renunciation in man. Without renunciation none can work for others. The man of renunciation views all alike. Today India needs this spirit of renunciation.
