Abstract:

The present study attempts to analyze the Indian educational philosophy of eminent thinkers like Tagore, Gandhi, Vivekananda, and Aurobindo with relevance to the Personality Development in the present day context. Tagore thought of education as a means to make oneself known to man. The complete or harmonious development of personality is the aim of education that Gandhi advocates. The ideal of all education and all trainings should be the man-making as advocated by Vivekananda. To achieve harmonious development of personality in an individual, Aurobindo applied spiritual ideas to each aspect of human life.
