Abstract

This article seeks to provide a deeper understanding of Swami Vivekananda’s contribution in the area of higher education. Swami Vivekananda, who was a contemporary Indian philosopher, has left behind his significant knowledge in the area of education and had propagated the concept of “Man making” by instilling the ideals of “spiritualism” and “natural learning”. Such ideals has gradually developed to be one of the essential prerequisite which the educational world should inculcate.He has specified that how presence of a supporting agent in the form of a guide is required who would direct and also at the same time provide a space to allow natural growth of the child. These are the two aspects of the same procedure, which would, help the child to develop in all terms. However, a balance amongst the two is also required to be maintained, in order to make the process of teaching and learning a successful one. Therefore, this work has tried to address that how by implementing the above cited ideals of Vivekananda would significantly serve to be the solution of many problems present in modern age pedagogies.
