• “The British had established their colony in India through the
changed education system.
• The British couldn’t enslave India, decided to do it through psychological slavery.
• set up a committee under Macaulay (Thomas Babington
Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay, a British historian and Whig
politician).
He twice toured India from North to South and East to West
and submitted a report to the Viceroy stating that the
education system of India is so strong and deeply
rooted in traditions that the British colony will not
survive. If the colony has to sustain, India’s

When he (Macaulay) was asked what was the strength of the
education system, he mentioned that he saw lakhs of gurukuls in
every village. There were no illiterate people in India. Every
person was so rooted in the traditions and culture of India that
they would never become aides of the British.
They broke down and destroyed the gurukul system
and implemented their own education system with the only
goal — to have youngsters support the establishment of
the British Raj. They continued to rule India for many
years because they captured the minds of the young.
10. Aim of Education 10
The first problem in a national system of education is to give an
education as comprehensive as the European and more thorough,
without the evils of strain and cramming.
This can only be done by studying the instruments of knowledge and
finding a system of teaching which shall be natural, easy and effective.
It is only by strengthening and sharpening these instruments to
their utmost capacity that they can be made effective for the
increased work which modern conditions require.
The muscles of the mind must be thoroughly trained by simple and
easy means; then, and not till then, great feats of intellectual strength
can be required of them.

• Indeed, if we want this education to have its
maximum result,
• it should begin even before birth; in this case it is
the mother herself who proceeds with this
education by means of a twofold action:
• first, upon herself for her own improvement, and
• secondly, upon the child whom she is forming
physically.
• it is certain that the nature of the child to be born
depends very much upon the mother who forms it,
upon her aspiration and will as well as upon the
material surroundings in which she lives.
• her thoughts - always beautiful and pure,
• her feelings - always noble and fine,
• her material surroundings - as harmonious as
possible and full of a great simplicity
• a conscious and definite will to form the child
according to the highest ideal she can conceive, then
the very best conditions will be realised so that the
child can come into the world with his utmost
potentialities.

39. WHAT TO DO?
Aim of Education 39
Be aware of the disastrous influence: that
their own defects, impulses, weaknesses
and lack of self-control have on their
children.
To be respected: to be respected by a
child, have respect for yourself and be
worthy of respect at every moment.
Never be authoritarian (lcZûiú^) ,
despotic (NéYý), impatient (ù]÷÷~ýðjú^)
or ill-tempered (@i«êÁ)
40. WHAT TO DO?
Child asks you a question: do not give him a stupid
or silly answer under the pretext that he cannot
understand you. You can always make yourself
understood.
Tell the Truth: in spite of the popular saying that it
is not always good to tell the truth, I affirm that it is
always good to tell the truth, but that the art consists
in telling it in such a way as to make it accessible to
the mind of the hearer.
Aim of Education 40
41. WHAT TO DO?
Child has done something wrong:
see that he confesses it to you spontaneously and frankly;
and when he has confessed, with kindness and affection
make him understand what was wrong in his movement so
that he will not repeat it, but never scold him; a fault
confessed must always be forgiven.
41
42. WHAT TO DO?
Scolding: Another pitfall to avoid:
do not scold your child without good reason and only when it is
quite indispensable. A child who is too often scolded gets
hardened to rebuke and no longer attaches much importance
to words or severity of tone. And above all, take good care
never to scold him for a fault which you yourself commit.
Children are very keen and clear-sighted observers; they soon
find out your weaknesses and note them without pity.
42
43. WHAT TO DO?
Fear: You should not allow any fear to
come between you and your child; fear is a pernicious means
of education: it invariably gives birth to deceit and lying. Only
a discerning affection that is firm yet gentle and an adequate
practical knowledge will create the bonds of trust that are
indispensable for you to be able to educate your child
43
44. WHAT TO DO?
Food: the diet that helps children
in their growth is generally known
and it may be very useful to follow it.
•Learn to offer your food to Mother and think that creates
those cells and drop of bloods which will help in
manifesting Supreme only. 44
45. WHAT TO DO?
Sleep: take adequate rest.
• Learn to learn in sleep also.
• Do Namajapa before sleep &
when wake up.
