The education is that which stimulates one’s spiritual intellectual and physical faculties of the children.” -Mahatma Gandhi
All rounded development
” By education I mean all round drawing out of the best in the child and man- in body, mind and spirit. Literacy is not whereby man and woman can be educated. Literacy in itself is no education.”
Gandhiji believed that simply learning to read and write and to know is not real education. A complete whole-all rounded development of man is what is called true education.
Self-reliance
The aim of learning skills that lead to supporting their own needs is first goal of education. He called it as occupational skill. Self reliance to build skills that can equip the fellow human being with earn his livelihood.
Character Building
Training that has morals and ethics based learning is crucial for character building. Moral virtues like sacrifice, courage, purity of personal life , righteousness and so on.
Civilization of higher values in life
Sa vidya vimuktaye- Knowledge is that which liberates
Values like self- restraint, self- analysis, social service, self realization can lead a fellow being to get to thyself better and is crucial to one’s civil life.
Cultural development
One must obtain knowledge of his or her own culture. It is reflected in one’s behavior, manner of speech and conduct. The very art of carrying oneself with grace and speech, dressing up, behavior, and conduct.
Relevance of his teachings
- Non violence- Ahimsa and truth for truth
- Communal harmony and brotherhood
- Against slaughtering of animals and turned into vegetarian (Gandhiji was a meat eater, later he quit meat and turned vegetarian)
- He has always predicted that machines will replace man
- Non-possession. Keep life simple and renounce materialism.
- Service to mankind by doing social work
He was a leader and man of vision beyond his time. Now we have all confined him to the books but his philosophies are more relevant today than ever before. We all may adopt one of his philosophies in life and pursue to live through it. It can be satisfying indeed!

Dream Product: Social Media for Education™
Introduction
I am an educator and entrepreneur. I am blessed by a couple of certifications and a few degrees but my goal is to be a life-long learner. My purpose of life is to serve the community, the society at large. The one path that I chose is education-isn’t it a lethal combination to have a techy-business head and being an educator and a woman :). In short I want to do and offer more than I even I think I can. Remember money is not the first thing I choose, I choose service, respect and integrity over money, I choose spreading goodness and knowledge around in the most humble way possible.
