‘Yastu Vijnanavan bhavati, Yuktena manasa sada’, Tasyendriyani vas’yani, Sadas’va iva saratheh” “He, who is possessed of supreme knowledge by concentration of mind, must have his senses under control, like spirited steeds controlled by a charioteer”. (Katha-Upanisad, III. 6) It is often said that education is the building up of the thinking elite of the nation, much of the nation’s future depends on its system of education. This is true to some extent. But conversely the general outlook of society also has a strong bearing on education itself, so education can only be reformed when a corresponding change has already begun in society, or at least when the necessity for such a change is being felt. This is the case especially in a period of crisis, when the established order of things is crumbling, when the ancient ideals have lost their hold, and youth is desperately in need of a guiding light, an ideal that can sustain its enthusiasm and carry it through the strenuous tasks of life. At such a time, when a reassessment of the fundamental values is essential, the importance of education is many times greater. It may be decisive if the educational body is able to discern the evolutionary trend and perceive the ideal of the new age. We may, therefore, Endeavour in this paper to look at the purpose of education, with the general conception of the aim of human life, prevalent during all times, and to analyze the present cultural crisis and the aims of education.
