13. EDUCATION
Education
is the manifestation of perfection
already in man.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

14. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Defining education
Swami describes religion as ‘the manifestation of the divinity already in
man, also he defines education as the manifestation of the
perfection already in man’
Manifestation
Implies that something already exists and is waiting to expressed. The
main focus in learning is to make the hidden ability of a
learner manifest; knowledge is inherent in man, not acquired from
external sources.
Already in man
Refers to a human being’s potential, which is the range of the abilities
and talents, known or unknown that is born with. Potential speaks
of the possibility of awakening something that is lying
dormant
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

15. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Defining education
Perfection
Refers to a Greek word ‘teleics’ translated as perfect, and suggest the idea of
attaining a goal or an end; Perfection in education parlance is the goal
of actualizing the highest human potential.
He also defines education as:
Life-building, man-making, character-making, assimilation of ideas, and
not a certain amount of information that is put into your brain and
runs riot there, undigested all your life (1985;III:302)
An ability to think originally, to stand on your own feet mentally as well as
practically, interacting with people succesfully.
Process by which character is formed , strenght of mind increased, and
intellect sharpened, as a result of which one can stand on one own’s feet.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

16. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Defining education
Education is the discovery of the inner-self, self revelation. Education
is development from within.
Vivekananda doesn’t believe in the system of education where the
learners’ mind gets jam-packed with information without having
any space for independent thinking.
“If education is identical with information, the libraries
are the greatest sages of the world… regrettably, we
treat innocent learners as nothing better than vessel to
be stuffed with carload of facts with little space for
exploring their hidden potentials.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

17. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
The Objectives of Education
Vivenkananda points out that the defect of the present day education is
that it has no definite goal to pursue. The objective of education must
be the manifestation of perfection in our lives, which is the very
nature of our inner self.
Specifically, the objectives of education according to Vivekananda are as
follows:
To eliminate one’s ego, ignorance and all other false identification,
which stand in the way.
To build up self-confidence and self-reliance based on balance
human relationships
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

18. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
The Objectives of Education
To strive towards character development characterized by
the development of will-power, leading to courage, stamina
and fearlessness.
To develop adaptability and able to meet the challenge of a
changing society.
To lead to a feeling of brotherhood and the unity of
mankind.
To serve God through serving the masses;work is worship.
To acquire the spirit of renunciation.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

19. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
The Method of Teaching
Consequently, these are the methods of teaching according to
Vivekananda:
The task of the teacher is only to help the child to manifest its
knowledge by removing the obstacles in its way.
The learner is just like a plant, one cannot do anything more than
supplying it water, air, manure while it grows from its own nature.
“ Knowledge is inherent in every man’s self;what
man knows is only what he discovers by taking the
cover off his own soul.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

20. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
The Method of Teaching
The method of teaching must be problem-solving under the bias-
free guidance of the teacher; the teacher’s role is just a facilitator,
similar to the modern educationist’s Heuristic method.
The teacher has to come down to the level of the learner and
give him a push upwards; thus there should be least intervention
and the ideal teacher should consciously under-teach so that the
learners get the ample scope for learning themselves.
“No one can teach anybody. The teacher spoils everything by
thinking that he is a teacher”(1993:56)
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

21. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Role of the Teacher
Vivekananda specifies the role of the teacher as follows:
The teacher should share with the student the conviction that
they are both truly one in spirit-at the same time cultivating in
the student a feeling of dignity and self-respect
The only true teacher is he who can immediately come down to
the level of the student, and transfer his soul to the students’
soul and see through the student’s eyes and hear through his ears
and understand through his mind. Such teacher can teach and
none else.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

22. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Role of the Teacher
To make the mind grow by unfolding and unveiling the natural
power inherent in man.
The children teach themselves, the duty of the teacher is to offer
them opportunity and remove obstacles; that is, if we provide
conducive environment the rest will happen by itself.
The teacher’s role is unimportant; it necessitates the teacher’s
personal, constant contact with the students.
Knowledge exists in the mind, like fire in a piece of flint. Friction
brings it out.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

23. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
All Round Development
Although Vivekananda’s vision of education lays extreme emphasis
on the training of the mind it does not undermine the importance
of an all-round development of the human personality. Its aim is
untrammeled development of the personality in all sphere-
physical, mental and spiritual.
He believes that physical exercises must be part of the educational
training since a sound mind resides in a sound body; the self
cannot be realized by the physically weak.
The mind of the students has to be controlled and trained
controlled through meditation, concentration and practice of
ethical purity.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

24. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
All Round Development
He emphasizes that all success in any line of work is the result of
concentration, which necessary implies detachment from other
things, constitutes self-control for securing harmony of the
impulses.
“Education is the manifestation of the perfection
already in man, therefore, a teacher’s job is only to
remove obstruction from the pupil’s path… Education
is not a mere accumulation of information but a
comprehensive training for LIFE.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

25. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Women’s Education
Vivekananda also stresses the importance of women’s education.
He didn’t preach two different scheme for educating men and
women. His teaching was exactly the same without any
discrimination. Nevertheless, his views on women call for a
separate treatment.
The main objective of his scheme of female education is to make
them strong, fear-less and conscious of their chastity and dignity.
“Female illiteracy retards the progress of the society; it is
impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

26. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Women’s Education
Women need to get the right type of education, they will be able to
solve their own problems in their own way.
Although men and women are equally competent in academic
matters, yet women have a special aptitude and competence for
studies related to home and family.
He recommends the introduction of subjects like sewing, nursing,
domestic science, culinary art etc.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

27. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Medium of Instruction
Vivekananda strongly advocates “mother-tongue”
so that it will reach everyone.
However, he also believes that it is necessary to
learn English and Sanskrit. While English is
important for mastering Science, Sanskrit leads
one into the depths of our vast store of classics.
“If language remain the privilege of a small class of
people, social unity will march forward hampered.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

28. CONCEPT OF MANCONCEPT OF MAN
Vivekananda’s guru, Sri Ramakrishna, used to
say that manush needs to become man-hush –
that is, a man needs to become a true man. ‘He
alone is a man, whose spiritual consciousness
has been awakened’.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

29. Following his Master, Vivekananda emphasized that ‘the
ideal of all education, all training, should be this man-
making’.
MAN is the combination of three letters, i.e.,
M = Morality
A = Ability
N =Nobility
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

30. NEW VIEW OF MAN
Vivekananda’s concept of ‘potential divinity of the soul’
gives a new, ennobling concept of man ; which prevents
degradation, divinizes human relationships, and makes life
meaningful and worth living.
The present age is the age of humanism which holds
that man should be the chief concern and centre of all
activities and thinking.
Swamiji has laid the foundation for ‘spiritual humanism’,
which is manifesting itself through several neo-humanistic
movements and the current interest in meditation all over
the world.10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

31. Swami Vivekananda realized that three things are
necessary to make every man great, every Nation great.
Conviction of the powers of goodness.
Absence of jealousy and suspicion.
Helping all who are trying to be and do well.

35. Swami Vivekananda said: “Man-Making is my
mission of life. I am not a politician, nor am I a
Social Reformer. It is my job to fashion man
……… I care only for the spirit: When that is right,
everything will be righted by itself”.
Man-Making meant for Vivekananda rousing man to an
awareness of his essential divine nature, making him
rely always on his innate spiritual strength.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

36. ELEMENTS OF MAN-MAKING EDUCATION
The chief elements of Swami Vivekananda’s Man-Making
Education are based on the Vedantic philosophy of his
life.
1. Every individual should understand that the ultimate
goal of Human Life is to attain ‘Unity with Creator’.
2. Service to man is equated with devotion to God
because God resides in every human heart. Hence,
man should foster the spirit of service to his fellow
beings. Worship of man is the real worship of God.
Individual happiness lies with universal happiness.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

37. 3. Man should develop an attitude of respect for all religions.
He should understand that the essential elements of all
religions are the same, and no religion is superior or
inferior to other.
4. Man should imbibe love for all and hatred for none,
because love is the highest good of all religions. Then, how
can we inculcate love? If you control / watch your
character then love value will come.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

38. WATCH

39. 5. Man should attain the knowledge of science and
spirituality.
6. Man must develop a rational attitude in life.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

40. AIMS OF MANAIMS OF MANAIMS OF MANAIMS OF MAN----MAKING EDUCATIONMAKING EDUCATIONMAKING EDUCATIONMAKING EDUCATION
Character Development: Man-Making Education
implies that education should build character.
Character is the foundation for self development.
Education is an instrument for human betterment. The
basis of all systems social or political rest upon the
goodness of man. No nation is greater or good
because if parliament enacts this or that, but because,
its men are great and good. That is why, Swami
Vivekananda stresses on character formation in Man-
Making process.10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

41. Further he wants to strengthen the mind and expand the
intellect of the child through education. This is because
he believes that character, strong mind and sharp intellect
prepare the child for better life.
He further says, “if you really want to judge the character
of man, look not at his great performances watch a man
do his most common actions. Those are indeed the
things which will tell you about the real character of other
great men”. Therefore, character development is the first
aim of Man-Making.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

42. Following things are required for Character Formation:
Character
Formation
Hard Work
Moral and
Spiritual Values
Gurukula System
Will Power
Learning through
mistakes
Formation of Good
Habits
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

43. Develop the Spirit of Social Service in Man:
Man-making education is providing education for the
development of the spirit of social service in man.
Swami Vivekananda’ wide travels in India have given
him first-hand knowledge of the socio-economic
conditions of the people of our country. He is deeply
distressed by the utter poverty and backwardness of
the people.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

44. He remarks, “So long as the million live in hunger and
ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been
educated at their expense, pay not the least heed to
them….. I call him a ‘mahatma’ who feels for the poor. Let
these people be your God- think of them, work for them”.
Selflessness is the essence of Indian Philosophy and its
main concern is “Sarvajana Sukhino Bhavantu”
(Happiness for all) and education’s function is to serve
this end. Thus, the most important aim of man-making
education is inculcating the spirit of selfless service in
man.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

45. Mental Development: Man-making education is a
strong mind. Mental development is very essential to
enable the child to stand on his own leg.
Rational Development: The rational development of
man enables him to believe in the unity of all religions.
Such rational attitude in man is very important to develop
a noble character in him, which is the purpose of man-
making education.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

46. ROLE OF TEACHER IN MAN MAKING EDUCATION
For man-Making education, the teacher should come
down to the level of the students and transfer his soul to
the student’s soul.
Vivekananda says, “Education is a personal contact with the
teacher” (Gurugrihavasa). There would be no education
without the personal life of a teacher. It is the personality of
man that really impresses us and not merely his words. The
words and thoughts contribute only one –third and the
personality is two-thirds in the making of real man.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

47. A teacher must be dedicated to teaching profession with a
view to rendering selfless service like an ancient Guru.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

48. He should be sympathetic to his students.
A teacher must have a missionary zeal and angelic
motive behind the act of teaching.
The teacher should be a Friend, Philosopher, Guide
and a Tyagi for creating a real man.
Swami Vivekananda wants the teacher to provide the
proper environment for the child to grow naturally.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

49. CONCLUSION:
Swami Vivekananda is a pioneering figure in India
who has played in integral part towards shaping of
modern India. So far as education concern his Man
Making Education is very much relevant in our day to
day society. Man Making Education solves so many
problems which are raised in recent time. His famous
words; "Awake, arise, and stop not till the goal is
reached" - still resonated among the youth of the
nation, rousing their social consciousness and kindling
their damp spirits.10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

50. I sum up with words of Swami Vivekananda: ―The only
service to be given to our lower classes is to give them
education; to develop their lost individuality. Give them
ideas-that is the only help they require and then the rest
will follow as the effect. Ours is to put the chemicals
together, crystallization comes in the law of nature……..
Now if the mountain cannot come to Mohammed,
Mohammed must go to the mountain. If the poor boy
cannot come to education, education must go to him. This
is true and has its relevance in our country till today. which
may be followed strictly in order to achieve long cherished
goal of our nation.

Implies that something already exists and is waiting to expressed. The
main focus in learning is to make the hidden ability of a
learner manifest; knowledge is inherent in man, not acquired from

Already in man
Refers to a human being’s potential, which is the range of the abilities

of the possibility of awakening something that is lying

Refers to a Greek word ‘teleics’ translated as perfect, and suggest the idea of
attaining a goal or an end; Perfection in education parlance is the goal
of actualizing the highest human potential.
He also defines education as:
Life-building, man-making, character-making, assimilation of ideas, and
not a certain amount of information that is put into your brain and
runs riot there, undigested all your life (1985;III:302)
An ability to think originally, to stand on your own feet mentally as well as
practically, interacting with people succesfully.
Process by which character is formed , strenght of mind increased, and
intellect sharpened, as a result of which one can stand on one own’s feet.

87. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Defining education
Education is the discovery of the inner-self, self revelation. Education
is development from within.
Vivekananda doesn’t believe in the system of education where the
learners’ mind gets jam-packed with information without having
any space for independent thinking.
“If education is identical with information, the libraries
are the greatest sages of the world… regrettably, we
treat innocent learners as nothing better than vessel to
be stuffed with carload of facts with little space for
exploring their hidden potentials.”

The Objectives of Education
Vivenkananda points out that the defect of the present day education is
that it has no definite goal to pursue. The objective of education must
be the manifestation of perfection in our lives, which is the very
nature of our inner self.
Specifically, the objectives of education according to Vivekananda are as
follows:
To eliminate one’s ego, ignorance and all other false identification,
which stand in the way.
To build up self-confidence and self-reliance based on balance
human relationships
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

89. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
The Objectives of Education
To strive towards character development characterized by
the development of will-power, leading to courage, stamina
and fearlessness.
To develop adaptability and able to meet the challenge of a
changing society.
To lead to a feeling of brotherhood and the unity of
mankind.
To serve God through serving the masses;work is worship.
To acquire the spirit of renunciation.

The Method of Teaching
Consequently, these are the methods of teaching according to
Vivekananda:
The task of the teacher is only to help the child to manifest its
knowledge by removing the obstacles in its way.
The learner is just like a plant, one cannot do anything more than
supplying it water, air, manure while it grows from its own nature.
“ Knowledge is inherent in every man’s self;what
man knows is only what he discovers by taking the
cover off his own soul.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

91. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
The Method of Teaching
The method of teaching must be problem-solving under the bias-
free guidance of the teacher; the teacher’s role is just a facilitator,
similar to the modern educationist’s Heuristic method.
The teacher has to come down to the level of the learner and
give him a push upwards; thus there should be least intervention
and the ideal teacher should consciously under-teach so that the
learners get the ample scope for learning themselves.
“No one can teach anybody. The teacher spoils everything by
thinking that he is a teacher”(1993:56)
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

92. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Role of the Teacher
Vivekananda specifies the role of the teacher as follows:
The teacher should share with the student the conviction that
they are both truly one in spirit-at the same time cultivating in
the student a feeling of dignity and self-respect
The only true teacher is he who can immediately come down to
the level of the student, and transfer his soul to the students’
soul and see through the student’s eyes and hear through his ears
and understand through his mind. Such teacher can teach and
none else.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

93. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Role of the Teacher
To make the mind grow by unfolding and unveiling the natural
power inherent in man.
The children teach themselves, the duty of the teacher is to offer
them opportunity and remove obstacles; that is, if we provide
conducive environment the rest will happen by itself.
The teacher’s role is unimportant; it necessitates the teacher’s
personal, constant contact with the students.
Knowledge exists in the mind, like fire in a piece of flint. Friction
brings it out.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

94. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
All Round Development
Although Vivekananda’s vision of education lays extreme emphasis
on the training of the mind it does not undermine the importance
of an all-round development of the human personality. Its aim is
untrammeled development of the personality in all sphere-
physical, mental and spiritual.
He believes that physical exercises must be part of the educational
training since a sound mind resides in a sound body; the self
cannot be realized by the physically weak.
The mind of the students has to be controlled and trained
controlled through meditation, concentration and practice of
ethical purity.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

95. Swami Vivekananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
All Round Development
He emphasizes that all success in any line of work is the result of
concentration, which necessary implies detachment from other
things, constitutes self-control for securing harmony of the
impulses.
“Education is the manifestation of the perfection
already in man, therefore, a teacher’s job is only to
remove obstruction from the pupil’s path… Education
is not a mere accumulation of information but a
comprehensive training for LIFE.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

96. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Women’s Education
Vivekananda also stresses the importance of women’s education.
He didn’t preach two different scheme for educating men and
women. His teaching was exactly the same without any
discrimination. Nevertheless, his views on women call for a
separate treatment.
The main objective of his scheme of female education is to make
them strong, fear-less and conscious of their chastity and dignity.
“Female illiteracy retards the progress of the society; it is
impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

97. Swami Vivenkananda:
Some Contributions to Educational Thinking
Women’s Education
Women need to get the right type of education, they will be able to
solve their own problems in their own way.
Although men and women are equally competent in academic
matters, yet women have a special aptitude and competence for
studies related to home and family.
He recommends the introduction of subjects like sewing, nursing,
domestic science, culinary art etc.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

98. Swami Vivenkananda:

Medium of Instruction
Vivekananda strongly advocates “mother-tongue”
so that it will reach everyone.
However, he also believes that it is necessary to
learn English and Sanskrit. While English is
important for mastering Science, Sanskrit leads
one into the depths of our vast store of classics.
“If language remain the privilege of a small class of
people, social unity will march forward hampered.”
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

99. CONCEPT OF MANCONCEPT OF MAN
Vivekananda’s guru, Sri Ramakrishna, used to
say that manush needs to become man-hush –
that is, a man needs to become a true man. ‘He
alone is a man, whose spiritual consciousness
has been awakened’.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

100. Following his Master, Vivekananda emphasized that ‘the
ideal of all education, all training, should be this man-
making’.
MAN is the combination of three letters, i.e.,
M = Morality
A = Ability
N =Nobility
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

101. NEW VIEW OF MAN
Vivekananda’s concept of ‘potential divinity of the soul’
gives a new, ennobling concept of man ; which prevents
degradation, divinizes human relationships, and makes life
meaningful and worth living.
The present age is the age of humanism which holds
that man should be the chief concern and centre of all
activities and thinking.
Swamiji has laid the foundation for ‘spiritual humanism’,
which is manifesting itself through several neo-humanistic
movements and the current interest in meditation all over
the world.10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

102. Swami Vivekananda realized that three things are
necessary to make every man great, every Nation great.
Conviction of the powers of goodness.
Absence of jealousy and suspicion.
Helping all who are trying to be and do well.

106. Swami Vivekananda said: “Man-Making is my
mission of life. I am not a politician, nor am I a
Social Reformer. It is my job to fashion man
……… I care only for the spirit: When that is right,
everything will be righted by itself”.
Man-Making meant for Vivekananda rousing man to an
awareness of his essential divine nature, making him
rely always on his innate spiritual strength.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

107. ELEMENTS OF MAN-MAKING EDUCATION
The chief elements of Swami Vivekananda’s Man-Making
Education are based on the Vedantic philosophy of his
life.
1. Every individual should understand that the ultimate
goal of Human Life is to attain ‘Unity with Creator’.
2. Service to man is equated with devotion to God
because God resides in every human heart. Hence,
man should foster the spirit of service to his fellow
beings. Worship of man is the real worship of God.
Individual happiness lies with universal happiness.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

108. 3. Man should develop an attitude of respect for all religions.
He should understand that the essential elements of all
religions are the same, and no religion is superior or
inferior to other.
4. Man should imbibe love for all and hatred for none,
because love is the highest good of all religions. Then, how
can we inculcate love? If you control / watch your
character then love value will come.

6. Man must develop a rational attitude in life.

111. AIMS OF MANAIMS OF MANAIMS OF MANAIMS OF MAN----MAKING EDUCATIONMAKING EDUCATIONMAKING EDUCATIONMAKING EDUCATION
Character Development: Man-Making Education
implies that education should build character.
Character is the foundation for self development.
Education is an instrument for human betterment. The
basis of all systems social or political rest upon the
goodness of man. No nation is greater or good
because if parliament enacts this or that, but because,
its men are great and good. That is why, Swami
Vivekananda stresses on character formation in Man-
Making process.10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

112. Further he wants to strengthen the mind and expand the
intellect of the child through education. This is because
he believes that character, strong mind and sharp intellect
prepare the child for better life.
He further says, “if you really want to judge the character
of man, look not at his great performances watch a man
do his most common actions. Those are indeed the
things which will tell you about the real character of other
great men”. Therefore, character development is the first
aim of Man-Making.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

113. Following things are required for Character Formation:
Character

Hard Work
Moral and
Spiritual Values
Gurukula System
Will Power
Learning through
mistakes
Formation of Good
Habits
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

114. Develop the Spirit of Social Service in Man:
Man-making education is providing education for the
development of the spirit of social service in man.
Swami Vivekananda’ wide travels in India have given
him first-hand knowledge of the socio-economic
conditions of the people of our country. He is deeply
distressed by the utter poverty and backwardness of
the people.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

115. He remarks, “So long as the million live in hunger and
ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been
educated at their expense, pay not the least heed to
them….. I call him a ‘mahatma’ who feels for the poor. Let
these people be your God- think of them, work for them”.
Selflessness is the essence of Indian Philosophy and its
main concern is “Sarvajana Sukhino Bhavantu”
(Happiness for all) and education’s function is to serve
this end. Thus, the most important aim of man-making
education is inculcating the spirit of selfless service in
man.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

116. Mental Development: Man-making education is a
strong mind. Mental development is very essential to
enable the child to stand on his own leg.
Rational Development: The rational development of
man enables him to believe in the unity of all religions.
Such rational attitude in man is very important to develop
a noble character in him, which is the purpose of man-
making education.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

117. ROLE OF TEACHER IN MAN MAKING EDUCATION
For man-Making education, the teacher should come
down to the level of the students and transfer his soul to
the student’s soul.
Vivekananda says, “Education is a personal contact with the
teacher” (Gurugrihavasa). There would be no education
without the personal life of a teacher. It is the personality of
man that really impresses us and not merely his words. The
words and thoughts contribute only one –third and the
personality is two-thirds in the making of real man.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

118. A teacher must be dedicated to teaching profession with a
view to rendering selfless service like an ancient Guru.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

119. He should be sympathetic to his students.
A teacher must have a missionary zeal and angelic
motive behind the act of teaching.
The teacher should be a Friend, Philosopher, Guide
and a Tyagi for creating a real man.
Swami Vivekananda wants the teacher to provide the
proper environment for the child to grow naturally.
10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

120. CONCLUSION:
Swami Vivekananda is a pioneering figure in India
who has played in integral part towards shaping of
modern India. So far as education concern his Man
Making Education is very much relevant in our day to
day society. Man Making Education solves so many
problems which are raised in recent time. His famous
words; "Awake, arise, and stop not till the goal is
reached" - still resonated among the youth of the
nation, rousing their social consciousness and kindling
their damp spirits.10/19/2016 Dr.C.Thana

121. I sum up with words of Swami Vivekananda: ―The only
service to be given to our lower classes is to give them
education; to develop their lost individuality. Give them
ideas-that is the only help they require and then the rest
will follow as the effect. Ours is to put the chemicals
together, crystallization comes in the law of nature……..
Now if the mountain cannot come to Mohammed,
Mohammed must go to the mountain. If the poor boy
cannot come to education, education must go to him. This
is true and has its relevance in our country till today. which
may be followed strictly in order to achieve long cherished
goal of our nation.
