Sri Swami Adi Shankaracharya's Dakshinamurthy Stotra- 1 :

-

Vishvam Darpanna-Drshyamaana-Nagarii-Tulyam Nija-Antargatam

 Pashyann-Aatmani Maayayaa Bahir-Ivo[a-U]dbhuutam Yathaa Nidrayaa |

 Yah Saakssaat-Kurute Prabodha-Samaye Sva-[A]atmaanam-Eva-Advayam

 Tasmai Shrii-Guru-Muurtaye Nama Idam Shrii-Dakssinnaamuurtaye ||1||


 Meaning:


 (Salutations to Sri Dakshinamurthy Who Awakens the Glory of the Atman within us through His Profound Silence)


 The Entire World is Like a City Seen within a Mirror, the Seeing happening within One's Own Being,

 It is a Witnessing happening within the Atman, (the Witnessing) of the Externally Projected World;

Projected by the Power of Maya;

As if a Dream in Sleep,

One Experiences this Directly (this Play of Maya) during Spiritual Awakening within the Non-Dual Expanse of One's Own Atman,

Salutations to Him, the Personification of Our Inner Guru Who Awakens This Knowledge through His Profound Silence; Salutation to Sri Dakshinamurthy.

Sri Ramakrishna

1. INTRODUCTION :             Education is a special discipline and theory and practice of education deserves to receive a special attention. According to Sathya Sai Baba, “An education system in country is a bank on which the people can draw a cheque for the upliftment of the society”. The organization of such a bank needs to be solemnised and progressive. It is only the contribution of great thinkers in the field of education can guide the planners to have this organization on sound footings.

In such a system there were some basic principles and postulates some ideals, rules and regulations which we have implemented in the right earnest in ideal educational situations.             Great thinkers of contemporary India have given their verdict on the basic principles as well as needed reflections. One of the most important persons was a Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The cruci
