The core of mirambika's education philosophy is to keep the psychic flame, or divine presence within each person, burning strongly. This psychic presence is seen as the core of our psychological being. The goal of their education is to allow one's entire life to be molded by a growing psychic consciousness, and to create a more beautiful, true and loving environment from within. The philosophy aims for a total perfection and divine life on earth through spiritual transformation. It envisions realizing the Godhead in both the world and in humanity by developing our psychic minds, hearts, insights and calling upon higher spiritual values and potentials. Sri Aurobindo believed that nature's evolution ascends from stone to plant to animal to human

1. mirambika's Core: Free Progress
Each of us carries something divine deep within us, something true, pure, eternal and very precious. It is
this that makes life a supremely beautiful gift and inspires us to grow, to learn, to become..... most of us
may never realise its existence but it is there, veiled and hidden, behind all our mental noise and emotional
clamour: something very simple, very warm, very light, and infinitely loving....we call this the psychic, the
divine presence individualised in us. The psychic is the core and seat of our psychological being and lives on
life after life, growing through a most marvellous adventure of the consciousness.
In a free progress education, our whole endeavour is to keep the psychic flame burning in o ur hearts and
minds, to allow our whole life to be entirely moulded by a growing psychic consciousness... and from our
depths, try to create an environment which would be more beautiful, more true, more loving...
The Philosopy
The change that has been brought about today in education is a result of the continuous effort made by
teachers and demands on the education system. Yet the effort has to continue and more needs to be done
to make the child the centre of the process of learning. Teachers, parents and planners all need to continue
this effort through research and innovation guided by a philosophy.
A total perfection is the ultimate aim which we set before us, for our ideal is the divine life which we wish to
create here, the life of the Spirit fulfilled on earth, life accomplishing its own spiritual transformation even
here on earth in the conditions of the material universe.
It is in effect a larger cosmic vision, a realizing of the Godhead in the world and in man, of his divine
possibilities as well as of the greatness of the power that manifests in what he is, a spiritualized uplifting of
his thought and feeling and sense and action, a more developed psychic mind and heart, a truer and a
deeper insight into his nature and meaning of the world, a calling of divine potentialities and more spiritual
values into the intention and structure of this life.
“There is an ascending evolution in nature which goes from the stone to the plant, from the plant
to the animal, from the animal to man. Because man is, for the moment, the last rung at the
summit of the ascending evolution, he considers himself as the final stage in the ascension and
believes there can be nothing on earth superior to him. In that he is mistaken. In his physical
nature he is yet almost wholly an animal, a thinking and speaking animal, but still an animal in
his material habits and instincts. Undoubtedly, nature cannot be satisfied with such an imperfect
result; she endeavours to bring out a being who will be to man what man is to the animal, a
being who will remain a man in its external form, and yet whose whole consciousness will rise
far above the mental and its slavery to ignorance” - Sri Aurobindo
