According to Swami Vivekananda, the basic purpose of education is the total development of human personality. Everyone is endowed with certain capacities, which remain dormant, although in a potential form, in childhood. Swami Vivekananda believed education is the process by which these inherent potentialities in human personality manifest themselves in completing his or her total development. Thus he strongly recommended a ‘life building’, ‘character -forming’ and ‘man-making’ education system by which one can increase the strength of mind, intensify faith in one self, cultivate the will-power, and also one can stand on one’s own feet as an ideal perfect being.

Abstract


According to Swami Vivekananda, the basic purpose of education is the total development of human personality. Everyone is endowed with certain capacities, which remain dormant, although in a potential form, in childhood. Swami Vivekananda believed education is the process by which these inherent potentialities in human personality manifest themselves in completing his or her total development. Thus he strongly recommended a ‘life building’, ‘character -forming’ and ‘man-making’ education system by which one can increase the strength of mind, intensify faith in one self, cultivate the will-power, and also one can stand on one’s own feet as an ideal perfect being.
