Exploring the psychological issues of life. Discovering the hidden treasure of life that are beyond culture religion and knowledge.

6. Krishnamurthy concept of education Krishnamurthy rigorously opposite the education system which children has been judged only by their marks and degree. Trained to earn in livelihood not for free life it is not a true education. According to him education is not only “acquiring more techniques skill but educating the human beings to live with great art”. Further he says that “education means a holistic approach to life cultivating the brain, technologically and frees of its own petty little self”. It is necessity to free oneself from all domains psychologically hindrances, compulsion, free, fear, conflict and set patterns in order to get a clear, critical innovative and integrated Outlook.

Based on his taught few principal have been elicited. The teacher should kept in mind these principles while teaching. Principles of fairness Principles of freedom Principles of self knowledge Principles of integration and holiness Principles of cooperation Principles of critical thinking

9. Discipline Discipline in schools becomes necessary but J.Krishnamurti belives freedom never come through discipline. According to him , obedience can be developed in small school system where teacher and students closely interacted. He thinks that if teacher himself should be fearless, it result child behave also fearless.

10. Role of a Student According to him student and teacher both learn together. Student treated as equal partner. Teacher should create an opportunity to develop their own unique. Things should not be imposed on him rather they should be free to discover themselves and refine their own potentially. He give more importance to the children therefore education should be child centre it is the aims of Krishnamurthy.

11. Role of a Teacher The role of a teacher is very significant in the development of child’s potentiality and shaping of his life. A teacher is not merely fever of information he is one who points “the way to wisdom, to truth” People who experienced in teaching are only the real teacher and the create their own techniques. The sole motto of a teacher should help the students to attain a sound mind, conscious mind which is investigative, explorative, truth seeking, capable to dealing with of life as a whole. According to him the right educator is one who creates fearless, stress less, competition less and free environment. He works as a facilitator and friend for the students in the teaching learning process.

12. Place of S chool School is a place where one learner learns about the totality of life, the wholeness of life. The school should be like home for a child because it avoids any kind of fear, hesitation in the minds of child. School environment must have appropriate environment like student should be feel happy, free to run, sit, play and even talk or act whatever a child need. School is a place where both teacher and students explore not only outer world also their own thinking, behaviour. There are eight schools were still blossoming around the world in the name of Jiddu Krishnamurthy.

Teacher applies several informal ways such as presentation in the class, assignment, formative test to evaluate the student progress. Because they provide feedback for improve teaching and learning process.

14. Reflections of Krishnamurthy philosophy of education in National education policy 2020 He emphasised on experience based learning which provides space for critical thinking, creativity, motivate them to enquiry discover, discuss, Integrate and analyse the problems. NEP 2020 reflexes this vision . He give more importance for free learning which help for more interactive manner, question will be encouraged in classroom and classroom shall contain more fun, create collaborative and exploratory activity for deeper and experimental learning . He Emphasised making curriculum integrated and new policies talked about integration of cross curriculum pedagogical approach. He gives more importance for nature and surrounding birds, animals, insects and spending time with the nature. Now new policy makers realise to introduce “organic leaving”, “environmental education” in curriculum and suggested to develop respect for environment by student.

15. He propounded fearless and stimulating learning environment in school. New policy moving “recognising life skills, social skills, team work, citizenship, communication skill, collaboration, creativity, self initiative, self discipline, responsibility by considering a safe and stimulating learning environment as essential for learning in educational institution. He was an advocator of maintaining new competition environment in school. because every child has its own uniqueness. It should be identified and posted. New policy recommended recognition identifying, festering and unique capability of each student to promote each students holistic development. He was against the qualitative assessment system because it judges students on the basis of root memorization. He favours the qualitative assessment on daily basis on the both quantifiable and non quantifiable parameters. NEP 2020 recommended that to shift from summative to regular formative and test higher order skills such as analysis, critical thinking and conceptual clarity

16.   Conclusion Jiddhu Krishnamurti suggested an alternative concept of educational aims, content, methods and other elements in the education process and also implementing these principles in particular classroom. His philosophy of Education become a foundation for progressive and dynamic changes. He suggested for experimental learning it enable students for creation of self knowledge. His holistic development become the base for new educational policy. His most distinct feature of education is to inculcate knowledge with nature. Maximum recommendation aims, methods of Krishnamurthy is reflected in new education policy 2020. Such education system seems very progressive knowledge in students and provide space for the children to flower into goddess and happiness and wholeness of life.
