different subjects, especially western philosophy
& history. Born with a yogic temperment, he used
to practise meditation even from his boyhood, &
was associated with bramho movement for some
time

With Sri Ramakrishna

Vivekananda's meeting with Ramakrishna was

a turning point in his life. Once thought by him

that ramkrishna looked like a normal person
with nothing remarkable about him. But he
was impressed by some of ramakrishnas
thoughts. But narendra did not belived some
of his thoughts. Vivekananda didnt believed
in idol worship but ramakrishna worshiped
maa kali.

With sri ramakrishna

In 1885 Ramakrishna developed throat

cancer & he was transfared to calcutta
an later cossipore. His disciples including
vivekanand took care of him in the final
days. During his final days ramakrishna
asked narendra to take care of the
monastic disciples and in turn asked
them to look narendra as their leader.
Ramakrishna died in he morninghours16
august 1886 at his garden in cossispore.

Inspiration for educating

While roaming around the country he

was deeply moved to see the poverty
and the backwardness of the masses.
He thought it was because of indias
downfall. So he thought there was need
of an organization and found
Ramakrishna mission.

His aims of education

O Swami Vivekananda wanted a education

system which focused on mainly the character

building & introduction of Vedic education with
western education .
O Education for him meant a process by which
character is formed, strength of mind is
increased, and intellect is sharpened, as a
result of which one can stand on their own feet
and make his or her own career.

HIS VIEWS ON EDUCATION

Vivekananda laid a lot of emphasis on the
environment at home and school for the proper
growth of the child.
He said that the parents as well as the teachers
should inspire the child as per their life.
He recommended the old institution of gurukula for
teaching. In such systems, the students can have the
ideal character of the teacher constantly before
them, which serves as the role model to follow.

Vivekananda on western
education
He prescribed the learning of English and Sanskrit
also.
He quoted :While English is necessary for mastering
Western science and
technology, Sanskrit leads
one into the depths of our vast store of classics. We
should not allow English to become a language of
just a mere handful of people of society.

RAMAKRISHNA MISSION

organization on 1st may 1897. this mostly
focused on social service such as running
