Abstract

The education philosophy advanced by Sri Aurobindo is a spiritual approach to human development. This research paper discusses his theory of Integral Education and how it is applicable in modern trends of education. The research is founded on historical and philosophic scrutiny with secondary sources. Aurobindo stressed on education not being restricted to intellectual development but to physical, mental, emotional, psychic and spiritual development. His thought that nothing can be taught is an indication of a learner-oriented teaching method in which the teacher becomes like a guide and not an authority. The results indicate that the Aurobindo philosophy of education is very applicable in the contemporary environment where the value-based education and comprehensive growth have gained a lot of importance. The article finds that applying the principles of Aurobindo to the contemporary education can be useful in producing balanced human beings who are able to make a positive contribution to the society.
