Swami Vivekananda's Educational Thought: A Blend of Traditionaland Western Dynamics/ স্বামী বিবেকানন্দের শিক্ষা ভাবনা : সনাতন ও পাশ্চাত্যের গতিশীলতার মেলবন্ধন

Abstract

Vivekananda's concept of life does not allow for absurdity. Prior to accepting anything, he used to judge everything. Whether it's science or faith. Superstition is the acceptance of something without question. Granted, no scientific finding can be considered the ultimate or everlasting word. Due to the fact that fresh hypotheses constantly alter established beliefs. Therefore, reason should be used to embrace science if it is to be believed. Science and religion are two things that cannot be followed blindly. It is from this that Swami Vivekananda's educational philosophy takes on new meaning.

         Even in his personal life, Swami Vivekananda blended Western and Eastern ideas. Therefore, he found it quite easy to compare thought and language-literature. After much research, he concluded that we do not require as much philosophical and educational adoption from the West. On the contrary, it offers much. We have ideas that can greatly enrich the West. Additionally, it is simple to turn to our past for inspiration when trying something new in philosophy or writing.

          His educational concept encourages people to accept what is right rather than insisting on rote information. The old Indian educational system should be adhered to the fullest extent feasible, and the traditional pace of education should be preserved. He felt that all forms of spiritual and divine education in our nation should be placed under our supervision. Apart from that, though, he feels that a strong scientific background is essential for the nation's advancement. For a heroic India will emerge if the speed of truth found in traditional education and the speed of western scientific consciousness can be appropriately combined. The welfare of the nation depends on this education policy. It is a novel method of teaching that uses judgment and reasoning to establish right and wrong without accepting any one of them as true. Vivekananda's idea of ​​education does not extend only to making clerks. He wants education that will make people. People who will sacrifice themselves for altruism.
