Man Making Education

Like Naturalists, Swamiji emphasized that real education is possible only through nature and natural propensities. Like Idealists, Swamiji insists that the chief aim of education is to develop to the full the moral and spiritual nature of child, the essence of which is already present in him. Like pragmatists, he lays great stress on the Western education of technology, commerce, industry and science to achieve material prosperity. The fact is that Swamiji’s educational philosophy is a harmonious synthesis of the ancient Indian ideals and modern Western beliefs. He has not only laid stress on the physical, mental, moral, spiritual and vocational development of the child but has also advocated women education as well as education of the masses also. In short, Swami Vivekanand was an Idealist at heart.

Our own self in us, our best guide in the struggle that is life: The child should be allowed to commit mistakes in the process of character formation. He will learn much by his mistakes; Errors are the stepping stones to our progress in character. This progress requires courage and strong will. Strong will is the sign of great character. Will makes men great.
