Question

thought of swami vivekananda on women education

Answer 1

Swami vivekanand was highly sympthatic towards women education Swamiji said “A nation is advanced in proportion as education and intelligence is spread among the masses. The chief causes of India’s ruin have been the monopolizing of the whole education and intelligence of the land under handful of men. If we are to rise again, we shall have to do it by spreading education among masses” The supreme resource which can exceedingly uplift the status of women in any society is education. Swamiji believed that the main reason behind the various problems of the women of our country was due to lack of proper education. Now the need is the way out to save and elevate Indian women. Education was the way. They (women) have many grave problems, but none that are not to be solved by the magic word ‘education’

He defined education as ‘the manifestation of the perfection already in man’ In his thought, ‘manifestation’ is a spontaneous growth where all the impediments are removed. The term ‘perfection’ is the goal of actualizing the highest human potential. For Vivekananda, perfection means achieving the stage where one stands on one’s legs, well-equipped to win the struggles of life with a spirit of philanthropy and the courage of a lion. Swami Prabhananda interpreted ‘Perfection’ that is mentioned in Swamiji’s definition of education as the human beings’ potential which has three aspects. The first is capacity which means the acquisition of a specific characteristic or competence that makes the learning possible. The second is propensity of doing something when the opportunity comes in implying the development of learning. And the third aspect is capability which associates the competence of working towards an intended outcome with the strength of getting rid of obstacles to learning . It implies self-development for self-emancipation. In the spiritual sense, education is the process of discovering the capacity, propensity and capability of a human being to realize his/ her own soul’s ever-perfection. In the secular sense, education is the process in making a human being’s capacity, the propensity and the capability of self-development and self-emancipation in order to be self-reliant. The main essence of his philosophy of life is to become fearless and serve the humanity with peace. When a woman becomes fearless, she can face all the challenges bodily and confidently without any suppression.
