PHILOSOPHIES OF PEACE: VIVEKANANDA, TAGORE, AUROBINDO AND MAHATMA GANDHI

Philosophy of education takes its shape through integration as well as synthesis of cultural inputs. National philosophers of Indian education, for example, are – Swami Vivekananda, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Shri Aurobindo, and Mahatma Gandhi – who have offered their best in building Indian philosophy of education. These four Indian educators have been discussed about Education briefly. Sri Aurobindo who envisages integrating our body, mind and spirit for the upgrading of self. Education is the way to realize the self and the world. Swami Vivekananda emphasizes on mass education. He believed in the potentiality of human being and the education is the means of extracting and developing those potentialities. Tagore applied his creative self-expression on education. Gandhi on the foundation of truth and nonviolence very much significant in today's perspective. These four systems of education are very reflective and ultimately able to evaluate our present day's peace education very critically.
