Swami Vivekananda, the great spiritual luminary, thinker, and patriot-prophet of our times, had many deep and insightful ideas on education. As time rolls by, his far-reaching vision of education is influencing an increasing number of thoughtful people the world over. Recognizing this contribution of his, UNESCO has identified Swami Vivekananda as one of the eminent educationists of the world. This book, a compilation of the great Swami’s ideas on education, will serve as a handbook for students, teachers, parents and all educationists, and inspire them to imbibe and impart real education in our society.
Let us make our hearts as big as an ocean, to go beyond all the trifles of the world and see it only as a picture. We can then enjoy the world without being in any way affected by it.
-Swami Vivekananda
