Educational Philosopy of ‘Bhagavad Gita’

Abstract

Analyzed from the point of view of education the values and thoughts of ‘Bhagavad Gita’ can be categorized as moral and spiritual values, social values, cultural values and intellectual values which are to be followed by the teachers, students, and those who are making curriculum that will ultimately help for making an all-round development of the personality. The dictionary of education defines moral and spiritual values as ‘those
principles and standards which if accepted by individual and applied in human behavior exalt life and bring it in to accord with approved levels of conduct’. Webster’s dictionary gives the meaning of the word as ‘of relating the principles of right and wrong in behavior or expressing or teaching a concept of right behaviour’. The same dictionary gives the meaning of the word spiritual as ‘of relating to, consisting of, or affecting the spirit of or
relating to scared matters’.
